Saurer, a leading operating technology group, is launching its new Allma TechnoCorder TC2 machine for tire cord production, as well as presenting its latest developments in the tire cord twisting and cabling processes, at the upcoming Tire Technology Expo 2018, which takes place from 20-22 February in Hanover.

The show offers visitors the world’s premier technology showcase with exhibits of equipment and materials covering the complete spectrum of the tire manufacturing process.

For the first time, Saurer Twisting Solutions will exhibit the Allma TechnoCorder TC2 at the exhibition. The high-performance two-for-one twisting machine has been optimised for the production of tire cord. Visitors will be shown the multistage twisting process of hybrid yarns for the carcass and cap ply as well as the production of chafer material.

Other developments

Further innovative developments at the Allma CableCorder are the production of balanced 3-ply tire cord, as well as the possibility to produce hybrid yarns both in the two-for-one and cabling process, the company reports.

“The Allma CableCorder CC4 with patented energy saving technology stands for highest efficiency. The cabling machine, which has been awarded the Saurer E³ label for triple added value, has won over the market. The innovative technology allows for energy cost savings of up to 50 percent and reduces the number of yarn breaks by up to 50%. Furthermore, it offers low noise emission and simple machine handling.

The Saurer trade fair team takes pleasure in welcoming its customers and interested visitors to booth 4016 and informing them on the future twisting and cabling technology.
