Textechno's new capacitive evenness tester for filament yarn COVAFIL+ with its new capacitive sensor design and a high-speed yarn twister achieves all requirements on an effective and reliable quality control system. The concept to operate the COVAFIL+ either as a stand-alone unit or in combination with Textechno's well-proved filament yarn testers DYNAFIL ME and COMCOUNT guarantees highest testing efficiency and flexibility, as - apart from tensile strength and elongation - all relevant yarn parameters can be determined with one test system only.
STATIMAT ME+ represents the new generation of the Textechno automatic tensile testers for yarns. Textechno's 'Cotton Control Line' is widened by several new instruments. The focus will be on the enhanced fibre bundle length and strength tester FIBROTEST, the Micronair Station FMT, as well as the automatic fibre-length-, impurity- and spinnability tester MDTA 4, now available from Textechno.
The FAVIMAT+ is the first and only tester to combine six single-fibre test methods in one instrument. The instrument can be used to test a wide variety of fibres, including Aramide, UHMWPE, glass and carbon. The test process can be fully automated by means of the AIROBOT2 system linked to the FAVIMAT+. The AIROBOT2 system features a tensionless storage for up to 500 fibres together with a fully automatic transfer mechanism, which feeds the fibres to the FAVIMAT+ testing instrument without using pretensioning-weights. ECHNO’s solution for those customers, who need a fast tester for single fibre linear density and tensile properties, is the FAVIGRAPH.

The Coimbatore-based Super Machine Works, part of the Super Group of companies, well known for its textile engineering, has made rapid inroads into the market with its quality products. The company will be introducing its latest drawframe autoleveller model, Super Ultima ASD 1200i, at ITME 2016.
A Thangavel, Founder Promoter, Super Machine Works, informed, “We had participated in ITME’s 1992, 1996 and 2000 editions. Then there was some restructuring and upgradation of technology and infrastructure in our group companies, due to which we didn’t participate for a brief period. Subsequently though, we once again started participating from 2012 onwards. ITME is a one-of-its-kind trade show and participation in it will help us showcase our latest product offerings.”
The company is introducing its new drawframe autoleveller model – Super Ultima ASD 1200i at the event. “Visitors can get a close look at the product at our stall in Hall 1 – E 22. With the latest technology and features, we are sure that it will surpass the popularity of our earlier model – Super Ultima ASD 1000i, said TS Sundaram, Joint Managing Director. Highlighting the key reason that has made the company stand out from the rest, Sundaram observed, “Quality need not be costly – has always been our motto. We endeavour to offer machines that match those that are offered by leading global OEMs in terms of quality, output, and performance, but at an affordable price.”
Saurer is coming up with its machinery brands; Schlafhorst, Zinser, Allma, Volkmann, Saurer Embroidery and Components brands; Accotex, Daytex, Fibrevision, Temco, Texparts in Hall 1, booth H1B12C11 at ITME. The Zinser Impact 72 made in India will be shown for the first time at ITME along with Saurer’s full range of innovative products.
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 machine is super-long, super-economical and extremely user-friendly. It lowers production costs by up to 11 per cent and has a footprint that is up to 21 per cent smaller compared with shorter rival machines. The new both-end Twin Suction system, combined with the sensor-controlled Opti Suction yarn break suction system, achieves an energy saving of up to 66 per cent during suction. The Zinser Impact 72 compact spinning machine is equipped with the self-cleaning Impact FX unit and guarantees top productivity, maximum process reliability and optimal raw material utilisation. Zinser is the only supplier offering excellent opportunities for the highest possible degree of automation in the ring spinning mill, adapted to individual customer requirements.
In ring spinning, one of the highlights will be the EliTe Compact Set, a compact spinning system, which can be installed on nearly all types of ring spinning machines. The system includes various innovations resulting in better yarn quality and increased productivity. An example is the Eli Tube Concept: as the fibre path within the drafting system is off-centred and the slot inclination is varied from left to right depending on the machine side, the use of top roller cots and aprons can be doubled. The main goal of this and the other innovations is increasing lifetime of the components and reducing maintenance costs. The EliTe Compact Set can be equipped with the optional Eli Twist enabling the production of compact two-ply yarn on ring spinning machines. Eli Twist is highly suitable to spin two-ply core yarns.
Suessen will also present various new Premium Parts for rotor spinning machines. The new Twist Trap Navel is a modified navel with a patented twist-retaining element. The navel, which is applicable to all types of Spin Boxes, provides an additional false twist, which results in better spinning stability. The production increases by 10 per cent to 15 per cent due to the possible twist reduction. Another new Premium Part is the PS7 Twin Disc. There is substantially less flexing work between rotor shaft and disc, as the width of the disc is reduced from 10 mm to 7 mm. Due to the lower energy consumption – up to 11 W per spinning unit are possible depending on the rotor speed – the pay-back period of this innovative component is very short.
