Suessen, Novibra, Bräcker and Graf, members of Rieter Components Group, a leading supplier of systems for short-staple fibre spinning, will present their innovations at the upcoming ITMA Asia + CITME trade fair that is taking place in Shanghai next month.

Suessen, a manufacturer of spinning systems and components for spinning machines, will exhibit various new components for ring and rotor spinning machines. Novibra, a leading company in spindle technology and the biggest exporter of spindles worldwide, will present several innovative solutions for spinning mills.

Bräcker, a leading specialist for key components in ring spinning machines and part of Rieter Premium Textile Components, will also present a variety of new products including new travellers and spinning rings. Finally, Graf, a leading manufacturer of clothings for flat cards and roller cards, will introduce several innovative solutions for the processing of man-made fibres at ITMA in Shanghai.

Suessen

In ring spinning one of the highlights will be the EliTe CompactSet Advanced, a compact spinning system, which can be installed on nearly all types of ring spinning machines. The system includes various innovations aiming to deliver better yarn quality and increased productivity. The EliTe CompactSet can be equipped with the optional EliTwist enabling the production of compact two-ply yarn on ring spinning machines.

Suessen will also present various new Premium Parts for rotor spinning machines. The new TwistTrap Navel is a modified navel with a patented twist-retaining element. The navel, which is applicable to all types of spinboxes, provides an additional false twist, which is said to result in better spinning stability. Another new Premium Part is the PS7 TwinDisc.

Novibra

Novibra, a leading supplier of high-speed spindles, will present several innovative solutions for spinning mills at ITMA Asia in Shanghai, including new LENA (Low Energy consumption and Noise Absorption) high-speed spindles. LENA design has been developed from well-proven Noise Absorbing System Assembly (NASA), which is said to ensure minimum neck bearing load, vibration and noise level at high speed. The unique wharve diameter of 17,5 mm and the footstep bearing diameter of 3 mm lead to a lower energy consumption, according to the manufacturer.

Another new product presented at ITMA Asia is the clamping and cutting crown CROCOdoff, which is also available as the version CROCOdoff Forte for coarse yarns. The crown is operated by the spindle speed and has been designed for machines with autodoffer. The improved design of the "teeth" is said to guarantee a reliable clamping and cutting of the yarn.

Bräcker

Bräcker will present a variety of new products at ITMA Asia 2016 in Shanghai. The new STARLETplus traveller from Bräcker with its improved coating aims to provide a better resistance against corrosion. This is of high importance in challenging spinning conditions like high humidity or aggressive fibres. These travellers, which are suited for the entire yarn count range, are especially recommended for viscose, CO/CV blends, PES, and dyed fibres.

Another highlight at ITMA Asia will be the redORBIT spinning rings, which are designed to produce high quality yarns at top speeds. The system consisting of spinning ring, ring holder, and support ring is a cost-optimized solution for ring spinning machines, the company reports. It is said to allow increased speed and thereby a higher production.

Other products, which Bräcker will present at ITMA Asia, will include TITAN spinning rings, PYRIT and ZIRKON travellers, and the well-known range of BERKOL cots and aprons.

Graf

The company Graf will introduce several innovative solutions for the processing of man-made fibres at ITMA in Shanghai, including a new EasyTop flat top system. To ensure an evenly high quality of the carding sliver, flexible flat clothings have to be replaced regularly. For this process the card needs to be stopped. To keep these down-times as short as possible, Graf now offers a new flat top system, which can reduce the stoppage time by up to 70%. The so-called EasyTop is applied on flat bars designed for magnetic attachment. The flat tops, equipped with a metal carrier, are attached securely and precisely by means of a magnetic connection. They are said to resist even highest carding forces and guarantee for a high reliability in operation.

The company will also exhibit Hipro metallic card clothings that are said to ensure top performance and precision together with an exceptionally long working life. Hipro metallic card clothings are suitable for all standard man-made fibres in the nonwoven sector and also for wool. They can be used on the following rollers: doffer, worker, stripper and condenser rollers.

Graf will also present new products for the combing process. The X-Comb segments can be used on comb-bodies requiring individual segments from other manufacturers and thus now make the leading Graf technology also accessible for these conventional combs.  The combing segments are made from metallic clothings that undergo a special surface treatment, which is said to substantially reduce the running-in period.
