Saurer Allma, a market leader and an innovator in twisting and cabling machinery for tyre and industrial applications, will present its new E³ technologies at the Tyre Technology Expo in Cologne that will take place from 10-12 February, providing a platform for tyre manufacturers and suppliers from all over the world.

Allma designs and develops products with a special focus on energy consumption, economic viability, ergonomics and safety and in order to represent the added value of its products, the company has launched its new E³ logo which stands for Energy, Economics and Ergonomics.

Through innovative developments, the energy consumption of the machines is constantly reduced, economic viability of production steadily increased and ergonomics continually improved, the manufacturer reports.

Revolutionary technology

In two out of three car tyres, the tyre cord is a product of Allma machines, according to the company. The cabling machine CableCorder CC4, the fourth generation, is said to have revolutionised cabling technology by means of its innovative outer yarn delivery system.

With a controlled slim yarn balloon, energy consumption has been successfully reduced by up to 50% compared to other models. This system has been patented and may be exclusively used by Allma customers.

Economic production

Energy costs can be up to 50% of overall production costs, depending on the location, and therefore this innovation is said to make a considerable contribution to cost reduction and thus aiding economic viability and competitiveness.

Up to 50% fewer yarn breaks and lower air-conditioning costs through reduced waste heat also substantially increase the productivity of the machine, the company reports.

Tailored to the needs of the user

A slim yarn balloon is designed to reduce the noise level enormously. Up to 5 dB(A) lower noise levels have been measured. Features such as the bobbin conveyor belt and the protection flap allow simple and effective operation of the machine.

“Together with the outstanding yarn and bobbin quality, the optimum conditions for the highest level of value creation have been set for today and for tomorrow,” says the company.
