Revolution in industrial yarn production

“The Allma TC2 has been designed to meet the high quality demands of today's market and is characterised by its unbelievable flexibility,” says Oerlikon Saurer. “A great variety of materials such as PA, PES, CV, PP, PE, AR etc. can be processed on the Allma TC2 in a wide range of very fine to very coarse yarn counts.”

The ultimate production flexibility is said to be ensured by the self sufficient spindle technology and winding units and the company says customers can react to market requirements and even the smallest lots or samples can be economically produced. “Delivery speeds of 450 m/min. are unique in the world,” the company adds.

According to Oerlikon Saurer, the PrimePac twist packages produced on Allma TC2 feature a particularly high and homogenous density and long running lengths, thanks to highly precise length measuring. The patented machine concept of Allma TC2 is also said to fully comply with today's requirements in terms of ergonomics and handling.

The new high-performance twisting machine aims to set new standards with regard to economic efficiency and production of high-quality twisted yarns and in addition, the high-quality twist packages are designed to ensure better unwinding properties and long lengths for further processing and reduction of work involved in packaging.
