High speed tyre cord dipping line from Litzler

1 March 2010, Cleveland OH – C.A. Litzler Co. Inc. reports it has received an order to design and build a  60 metres per minute Tyre Cord Dipping Line for Rajashree Polyfil, a division of Century Enka Limited India (BK Birla group company).  Financial details were not disclosed.

According to Litzler, the benefits of the tyre cord line include multiple tension zones throughout the line providing maximum flexibility for elongating/relaxing the material to meet specific processing criteria. In addition, the line has a speed of 60 metres per minute at maximum tension, with the ability to increase speed to 80 metres per minute at reduced tension. Another benefit is speed and tension control accuracy of ±0.1% to achieve control of critical material processes.
