In the bustling textile sector of Brazil, TBM has set a golden standard for quality and consistency, catering to a challenging market with
unparalleled dedication. With a rich history in various compacting systems, TBM’s strategic decision in favor of Swinsol’s innovative
solutions marked a pivotal moment in its operations.
Swinsol’s Digital Lauding Gauge precisely measures the toparm pressure load and perfectly adjusts pressure settings – equally balanced between both side rollers.
A controlled pressure load reduces the one- sided friction on the cots, while guaranteeing constant production performance and yarn quality.
The top roller holder in a compact ring spinning machine presses the delivery roller to the bottom cylinder forced by a sheet metal spring. Due to the geometric conditions, the pressing force of the delivery roller impacts the pressing force of the top roller. In order to compensate this impact correctly, the exact amount of the change in force must be determined.
Mechanical compact spinning has revolutionized the textile industry by providing high-quality yarns with reduced hairiness and improved IPI and yarn strength. With its numerous benefits, it is no surprise that more and more textile manufacturers are adopting this technology to stay ahead of conventional compacting systems, such as suction compacting. By optimizing the usage of cots and aprons, we can not only reduce costs, but also contribute to a more sustainable industry by reducing waste. Therefore, it is crucial to explore different strategies and techniques that can help us achieve this goal.
Rieter K-Conversion – Upgrade of the K-Machine to the Swinsol Mechancial Compact Solution
Introduction Rieter K-frame
It is now possible to spin short staple fibers with a mechanical compact system upgraded to the Rieter machine and achieve the same yarn quality with significantly reduced costs (same cost as conventional spinning) on the Rieter K-frame. Compact spinning was introduced as a trial system in 1995. Later in the year 2000, Rieter introduced an innovation in the air guide providing more fibre compactness. It was called K44-Com4, the Rieter K-frame and it uses suction compact technology. If clean long combed fibers are used, the K-system delivers good yarn results for fine yarns. However, on the sourcing market there are by default less long fibers available. Especially cotton has – by nature – shorter fibres. If the high quality material is not availabe, by our experience, the suction compact will lose its fine-yarn advantage. In reality the K-frame is often used to spin coarser counts and short carded fibers. Pneumatic (suction) compact causes higher cost of material and additional energy consumption. Our upgrade can be used to give the Rieter K-frame a second life to save resources, energy and costs for expensive spare parts. Therefore the economical effect and the cost benefits are significant.
