Bräcker, the leading specialist for key components for ring spinning machines, will introduce several innovative solutions at ITM 2016, the leading textile machinery exhibition that takes place in Istanbul from 1-4 June.

The company will showcase its STARLETplus traveller, which is said to offer additional benefits when operating in challenging conditions like high humidity or aggressive fibres. The traveller service life can be prolonged by up to 50% and due to its improved coating, the new traveller shows a better resistance against corrosion, the company reports.

These advantages are said to result in lower maintenance costs in the spinning mill. During the entire service life, the yarn quality values remain constant, according to the manufacturer. The STARLETplus is particularly recommended for viscose and CO/CV blends, dyed MMF fibres and special applications.

BERKOL supergrinder

Another innovation to be presented at ITM is the BERKOL supergrinder for automatic grinding of ring, roving and air spinning top rollers.

The modular machine is said to improve the grinding capacity by more than 50% compared to the previous version. The BERKOL supergrinder has a grinding capacity of up to 350 top rollers per hour and offers a storage capacity of 450 top rollers with 32 mm diameter. At the same time, the power consumption has been reduced by 10%, the company reports.
