Saurer to showcase Autoairo air-spinning machine at India ITME 2022

Saurer’s spinning and twisting machines are renowned for their energy saving features, automation, and digitalisation solutions. Saurer machines enable the circular economy in textiles and are the leaders in processing recycled textile materials.

With the Autoairo, Saurer offers five different spinning systems: ring, compact, worsted, rotor, and air spinning systems. Exhibits to be presented at the booth are the new Autoairo air-spinning machine, the Autospeed roving frame, the Autocoro and BD rotor spinning units, the FusionTwister for two-for-one twisting, as well as exhibits of Texparts and Fibrevision quality monitoring.

The right combination of Saurer’s blow room and carding machinery ensures excellent fibre utilisation and sliver quality, thus increasing the efficiency of the spinning process and improving the quality of yarn. The new Autocard was developed to create further value in the fibre preparation chain, Saurer said in a media release.

The Autoairo sets new benchmarks for air spinning. Saurer has combined its most advanced automation solutions with proven technology to create an air-spinning machine with unique properties. The Autoairo features autonomous spinning positions with automation per spinning unit for more productivity and integrated intelligence. The exhibited Autoairo will remain in India to conduct customer trials. Belairo, the new air-spun yarn impresses with low hairiness and high pilling resistance.

The Autocoro is the market and technology leader which revolutionised automatic rotor-spinning technology and opened the door to more productivity, flexibility, and sustainability for customers worldwide. In just 10 years, Saurer installed 1 million Autocoro spinning positions with individual drive technology and energy saving features. The BD 7 semi-automated rotor spinning machine is powered by the technologies of Autocoro. With the patented digital piecing technology, DigiPiecing, and take-up speeds of up to 230 m/min, the BD 7 improves yarn quality and productivity for spinning mills.

The use of the Autospeed roving frame with automatic doffer ensures that spinning mills do not have to rely on skilled workers, and simultaneously increases the quality of the roving. The Autospeed roving frame with up to 240 spindles saves up to 20 per cent of energy compared with the previous model, while doffing takes less than 2 minutes. Also, in action at the ITME exhibition, customers can see the Autospeed in combination with the bobbin transport system and Roweclean, the automatic tube cleaner.

The ZR 72XL and ZI 72XL are two productive ring and compact-spinning machines. They set the global benchmarks for intelligent spinning, low energy consumption, user friendliness, and flexible automation solutions.

Saurer’s Texparts product line offers high quality components for the textile industry including drafting systems and spindles, spinning rings, and travellers. The new double elastic spindle, Eshape, has a reduced wharf diameter and is based on CS 1 S. Outstanding running properties up to 30,000 rpm and about 6 per cent energy savings are the key performance factors. Eshape, combined with the best system for spinning without underwinding, Spinnfinity, is the perfect fit for automated and efficient ring spinning.

At the ITME exhibition, Saurer will also show the two-for-one twisting machine FusionTwister, which offers high efficiency combined with the excellent quality of the cross-wound delivery packages produced. Up to 15 per cent of energy can be saved with the FusionTwister while increasing the winding speed by 10 per cent: This result was reported by an Indian customer. Consistent high yarn and package quality is a result of its robust machine construction and optimised yarn guiding elements, which consist of yarn-friendly ceramics or have plasma-coated surfaces for low friction and longevity.

Saurer’s twisting machines are as flexible as the market demands. The direct cabling machine, CableCorder CC5, for tire cord and industrial yarns, features a new spindle gauge 400 with up to 200 spindles, making it a true space saver. Its Cord Regulator technology ensures equal lengths of the individual yarns and thus high cord quality. Thanks to the balloon reduction technology developed by Saurer, the same, smallest possible balloon diameter can be set on every spindle – regardless of the titre. Energy consumption is thus kept to a minimum on the CC5.

For all synthetic continuous filament yarns, Saurer Fibrevision’s online quality monitoring devices are well established in the market. Fibrevision products serve all areas of the industry: Fraytec FV2/ Unitens / FibreTQS are multi-parameter quality monitoring systems that can be used in filament spinning (POY, FDY, BCF, T+I), draw texturing (DTY) as well as in cabling, twisting, and elastomer production. Single and multi-threadline sensors assure customers of the quality of their production.

Saurer enables spinning mills to process a wide range of recycled and regenerated fibres in their production. The Saurer rotor spinning machines are leaders in the processing of recycled fibres. The Saurer textile technology laboratory continuously assists customers in optimising their yarn production and yarn quality, especially for recycled fibres, the release added.

With more than 160 years of experience, Saurer has always been committed to advancing the textile industry, integrating high-end equipment manufacturing with modern information technology to provide complete solutions for the smart spinning factory.
