Smart technology for real-time optimization

Innovations in digitalization and automation enable greater performance alongside minimal expenditure of resources. Rieter’s After Sales services provide sustainable repair solutions, upgrades, and performance optimizations to help customers reduce their ecological footprint. Key components from Accotex, Bräcker, Graf, Novibra, Suessen and Temco make a difference in the economic efficiency of spinning mills.
Several innovations are being presented at the ITMA 2023 in Milan/Italy from June 8-14, 2023.

Spinning
The highlight at the stand of Rieter AG, Winterthur/Switzerland, is the new air-jet spinning machine J 70. It enables spinning mills to achieve an unprecedented low level of production costs per kg of yarn, coupled with high flexibility and reliability. In combination with high productivity, the unique yarn characteristics such as low hairiness and low pilling tendency will contribute to strong growth of this spinning segment in the coming years.
The new Essentialoptimize module of the Rieter Digital Spinning Suite brings the digital technologist into the spinning mill. It links data from the individual machines and increases efficiency in the entire spinning system.
For instance, the Ring-Winder-Connect module continuously optimizes the process between the ring spinning machine G 38 and the winding machine Autoconer X6. This module compares and analyzes data from both machines. Essentialoptimize supplies this data in the context of other performance metrics. Ring-Winder-Connect saves valuable raw material and keeps yarn quality within defined parameters.
Rieter has expanded its portfolio in terms of automation. Robospin, a fully automated piecing robot, is now also available for compact-spinning machines.

Winding and air-jet spinning innovations

Reduction in production costs and an optimization of the preparation lines. »

Sewing
SSM is launching the 3rd generation of the renowned sewing thread finish winder Thread King. The combination of efficiency and sustainability offers considerable added value for customers. Contributing factors are the shorter production cycle, easier yarn thread-up, reduced machine footprint and lower power consumption.
Recycling
Sustainable yarns made from recycled fibers are in high demand. Com4recycling enables customers to produce fine, high-quality ring and compact yarns from challenging raw material. This holds true even with a relatively high proportion of mechanically recycled cotton fibers.
Carding
With both high production rates and very good sliver quality, the new card C 81 gives spinning mills a strong position in the market. Intelligent sensors make this possible by setting the carding gap to the ideal size and monitoring the contaminant content in real time.
Supergrinder pro from Bräcker
The supergrinder pro, a fully automated single-axis grinding machine, can simultaneously load, check, grind, unload, and sort cots within less than 7 seconds with a production output of 520 rollers/hour. This is made possible thanks to its unique design with an automated tool turret.
Draw frames
Rieter is launching a completely new generation of draw frames: the single-head autoleveler draw frame RSB-D 55 and the SB-D 55 without autoleveler as well as the doublehead autoleveler draw frame RSB-D 27 and the SB-D 27 without autoleveler. The machines enable spinning mills to achieve the highest quality, productivity, and efficiency, even when processing recycled fibers.
