Trützschler, a leading textile machinery manufacturer, is presenting its new Can Filling Station T-MOVE, which aims to offer an entirely new solution for filling cans at the card, according to the company.

In recent years, card productions have increased rapidly. The can changers, however, have not adapted accordingly, the manufacturer explains. To change a can, the delivery speed of the card must be significantly lowered and then increased again after the change. This can reduce efficiency and impact sliver quality.

The filling head changes position, not the can

T-MOVE performs can changes at delivery speeds up to 300 m/min, which is made possible due to the controlled movement of a machine element. The cans remain stationary. The sliver is automatically separated at a precisely defined point. Simultaneously with the movement of the filling head, the full can comes to a stop and the empty can starts to turn.

All other can changers require reduced speed during the can change. The relatively unstable cans are not suited for the increased accelerations and decelerations. Large cans result in more economic efficiency and less sliver piecings, the company reports.

According to the manufacturer, the use of even larger cans at the card is only possible with T-MOVE. The new JUMBO CANS have a diameter of 1,200 mm and hold 43% more sliver than regular cans with 1,000 mm diameter. This is said to increase economic efficiency and improve quality by eliminating unnecessary sliver piecings in the creel of the downstream draw frame.
