Saurer Group, a leading specialist in textile machinery and components for yarn processing, will be exhibiting its Schlafhorst, Zinser, Allma, Volkmann, Saurer Embroidery and Saurer Components range of innovations at the upcoming ITME India exhibition, which will take place in Mumbai next month.

The ZinserImpact 72 made in India will be shown for the first time at ITME. The ZinserImpact 72 compact spinning machine is equipped with the self-cleaning Impact FX unit and aims to guarantee top productivity, maximum process reliability and optimal raw material utilisation.

The company will present the ZinserImpact 72 in combination with the Autoconer 6. The Autoconer 6, now with E³ label, sets new benchmarks regarding energy, economics, and ergonomics, due to intelligent sensor technology and smart process control, the company reports. Innovations such as LaunchControl, SmartCycle and SmartJet are said to help boost productivity by up to 6% compared with the previous model. The new Eco-Drum-Drive system, SmartCycle and the intelligent vacuum control system Power on demand are designed to reduce the energy consumption on the Autoconer 6 by up to 20%.

Schlafhorst and Zinser

At a length of 2,016 spindles, the Zinser 72 ring spinning machine breaks the 2,000 barrier and sets new standards for efficiency in the commodity segment, the manufacturer reports. The machine is long, economical and user-friendly. It is said to lower production costs by up to 11% and have a footprint that is up to 21% smaller compared with shorter rival machines. The new both-end TwinSuction system, combined with the sensor-controlled OptiSuction yarn break suction system, help achieve an energy saving of up to 66% during suction.

The new ZinserSpeed 5A roving frame is said to consume 20% less energy. With a 220mm gauge, the roving frame is also up to 17% shorter than its legendary predecessor. The new automatic doffer features a doffing time of less than two minutes, guaranteeing maximum efficiency in terms of productivity.

The new Autocoro 9 with its individual spinning position technology is said to set new records for energy consumption, productivity, economic efficiency, ease of operation and quality in the fully automated machine segment. It is a strong driver of optimised textile value creation in the textile process chain. Some of its performance features are said to include 25% lower energy consumption, 19% reduction in spinning costs, proven rotor speeds of 180,000 rpm, take-up speeds of 300 m/min and a 60% lower servicing outlay.

Allma and Volkmann

As the leading manufacturer of twisting and cabling machines, Allma and Volkmann will be presenting innovative products and solutions in the following segments: staple fibre yarns, carpet yarns, tire cord, industrial yarns and glass filament yarns.

With the FusionTwister, Volkmann is presenting its two-for-one twisting machine for staple fibre yarns. The FusionTwister is said to provide the best twist quality and productivity due to spindle geometry for special applications, increased spindle synchronisation, optimum package build-up und high-class yarn guiding elements. Reduction in energy consumption of up to 40 % is ensured by the energy-optimized spindle and yarn balloon geometry, the manufacturer reports.

With its future-oriented technology, the CableCorder CC4 cabling machine, which has been awarded the Saurer E³ label, offers energy savings of up to 50% in the tire cord cabling process, according to the manufacturer. “Since energy represents by far the most significant cost factor in the overall cabling process, this promises revolutionary production cost savings for manufacturers of tire cord,” the company explains. The reduction in energy consumption also results in a lowering of the heat load in production facilities, which in turn leads to a lowering of air conditioning costs. The higher economic efficiency is also said to be increased by up to 50% fewer yarn breaks, improved quality and high machine efficiency.
