Saurer is present with its machinery brands – Schlafhorst, Zinser, Allma, Volkmann, Saurer Embroidery – and Components brands – Accotex, Daytex, Fibrevision, Temco, Texparts.

Ring spinning machines from Zinser

Ring spinning machines from Zinser are said to offer a new level of efficiency in the commodity segment. At a length of 2,016 spindles, the Zinser 72 ring spinning machine breaks the 2,000 barrier.

Zinser ring spinning machines aim to offer maximised production, consistent yarn quality, a range of different automation options and excellent profitability thanks to their proven and highly regarded cutting-edge technology.

The new both-end TwinSuction system, combined with the sensor-controlled OptiSuction yarn break suction system, achieves an energy saving during suction, according to the manufacturer. The ZinserImpact 72 compact spinning machine is equipped with the self-cleaning Impact FX unit to guarantee top productivity and optimal raw material utilisation.

Rotor spinning at Schlafhorst

The fully automatic Autocoro 9 using individual spinning positions technology is said to offer unmatched rotor speeds, machine lengths and take-up speeds, which reduce the spinning cost and energy consumption considerably by a two-digit percentage value, according to the manufacturer.

Intelligent automated processes and Lean Maintenance aim to reduce the maintenance costs, thus increasing the user-friendliness and saving on personnel costs. “Nevertheless, the Autocoro 9 achieved constant high performance with any raw materials and under all operating conditions,” the company comments.

The new semi-automatic BD 7 machine is also in a league of its own, producing packages in Autocoro quality in all package sizes up to 320mm in diameter. The BD 7 is said to reduce spinning costs and increases profitability by optimised, reduced energy consumption, rapid take-up speeds on all lengths and an improved space utilisation.

Winding machines from Schlafhorst

With its quality packages and leading automation solutions, the Autoconer 6 with E³ offers measurable benefits both during winding and in downstream processing. “Innovations such as LaunchControl, SmartCycle, SmartJet or Eco-Drum-Drive system, as well as intelligent sensor technology, smart process control and autocalibration functions, have proven their worth in textile practice,” the company reports.

With the innovative SUN - Service Unlimited service concept, Schlafhorst and Zinser offer their customers support in their day-to-day operations. Over 500 service staff in 20 service stations and three technology centres advise customers with regard to productivity and quality increases, as well as energy savings.
