An essential task in any spinning mill is to detect foreign particles in the raw material as soon as possible and separate them from the flow of material. This applies to metal and heavy particles as much as to foreign fibres.   Trützschler offers a tailor-made, modular system to counter metal particles, foreign fibres, burning materials and heavy particles Optical foreign fibre detection Effective separation of foreign and metal particles Flexible and easy integration into old and new systems High production combined with a high separation quota Improved protection against financial losses due to complaints and damage to machinery Quality assurance No exhaust air Tuft blender Tuft blending systems - for the production of more precise, concentrated blends. The purpose of modern tuft blending systems is to produce homogeneous blends of different fibres. Trützschler's tuft blending systems operate on the weighing feeder principle, combining blending precision with a high level of production. No other blending process achieves this quality of blending.   Direct measurement of the weight instead of indirect measuring methods High capacities of up to 1000 kg/h Precise adherence to blend proportions produces a uniform fabric appearance Up to 6 components can be blended in one operation Addition of very small proportions (as little as 1%) possible Automatic balancing and easy calibration Recipe storage for fast lot changeovers Quality assurance thanks to lot monitoring Waste cleaner Powerful recycling and disposal systems are gaining increasingly in importance. Trützschler supplies systems covering the complete range, from the cleaning and disposal of dust-laden air and waste to the appropriate filters, bale and briquette presses for the waste.   Quality improvement and cost reductions when using raw material Reduction in raw material used Short amortisation periods High fibre yield Fully automated systems Reliable concept Flexible deployment   Material transporting   Fibres are normally transported between the machines in a cleaning and opening line pneumatically via a pipeline. The material transporting elements are matched precisely to the respective requirements.   Fibre transporting - made-to-measure and gentle on materials Customised solutions Maximum protection for materials Additional dust extraction Minimum energy used Control System The electronic plant control system LC-I developed by Trützschler is optimally adapted to coordinating the individual machine control systems. It utilises modern, intelligent networking technology for this purpose.   Intelligent networking technology High information content of displays Clearly laid-out colour monitor Little wiring required Same spare parts as for machine control systems Easy operation by means of touch screen High level of functional reliability Easy to commission International standards used Open system Remote diagnosis option (teleservice) Machine- and plant pictures Sliver Formation Sliver formation concepts Material feed Card TC 03 Integrated draw frame IDF FLATCONTROL TC-FCT NEPCONTROL TC-NCT LENGTHCONTROL TC-LCT Draw frame TD 03 Machine- and plant pictures Slivers from cards and draw frames form the basis for downstream processing to produce yarn and eventually the finished product. Material feed Material is supplied from a cleaning or opening line to a card group pneumatically via pipes. Ventilators and condensers take over the job of transporting the material here. Special distributors and change boxes integrated into the pipes are used to distribute the material, whether cotton or manmade fibres.   Card TC 03 TheCard TC 03 is the logical development of the highly successful DK 903 card. More than 10,000 cards DK 903 have been installed in spinning mills all over the world from 1995 to 2003.   Only the Trützschler card TC 03 offers: Precision Flat Setting System PFS Precision Mote Knife Setting System PMS Aluminium flats without bolted connection Computer control with Touch Screen Electronic Flat Measuring System FLATCONTROL TC-FCT On-line nep counting with NEPCONTROL TC-NCT Waste quality measuring with WASTECONTROL TC-WCT Digitally controlled, maintenace-free servodrives Added Value packages for special applications   Integrated draw frame IDF The autoleveller function has been integrated into the card for the first time. This is a decisive step towards reducing costs by means of process contraction. The integrated draw frame IDF combines the carding process with the drawing process to give a single operating stage.   Improved economic efficiency through process cutting Higher flexibility with shorter throughput times Cost reduction through less operating work Lower investment cost through reduced psace requirements and saving of cans Reduced can transport expenditure FLATCONTROL TC-FCT In the FLATCONTROL TC-FCT measuring flat system, Trützschler offers a system for measuring the cylinder/flat distance quickly, accurately and objectively. Improved card sliver quality, a longer clothing service life and not least the ability to dispense with extensive laboratory tests are the essential advantages of the system.   Improved card sliver quality due to reduction in setting tolerances Setting verified at operating speed Clothing service life extended Rapid flat adjustment Reproducible, objectively verifiable settings Flexible utilisation for the high production cards DK 760, DK 803 and DK 903 and TC 03.   NEPCONTROL TC-NCT Only Trützschler offers the textile industry a genuine alternative to expensive laboratory investigations with its nep sensor NEPCONTROL TC-NCT. TC-NCT monitors the card web during production and provides information on the quality. Staff-intensive laboratory examinations are no longer required. Every metre of card sliver is of verified quality. Permanent monitoring of the number of neps instead of random sampling in the laboratory Optical measuring principle Meaningful data Data transmission to the higher-level system Flexible utilisation for high production cards DK 760, DK 803, DK 903 and TC 03   LENGTHCONTROL TC-LCT Precise measuring of the fibre length with LENGTHCONTROL TC-LCT LENGTHCONTROL TC-LCT is a mobile measuring instrument which can be used directly at the cards. It works completely independent and it only needs electrical power. Slivers from cards, draw frames and combining machines can be controlled. All raw materials with a fibre length up to 60 mm are no problem.   Draw frame TD 03 Differential gears, angular gears and change wheels are replaced by three computer-controlled direct drives. This is an outstanding feature of this draw frame. The mature engineering, compact construction, ease of operation and low level of maintenance required on theTD 03 set new standards for draw frame technology.   High productivity Delivery speed of up to 1000 m/min Computer-controlled single drives for short-wave correction lengths Reliable data thanks to reliable, accurate sensors High level of availability due to less maintenance and long cleaning cycles Fast material changeover due to lot storage unit and electronic, stepless adjustment of principal parameters Integration of quality monitoring system into machine control system Effective dust extraction due to optimised suction system Optional supply of round or rectangular cans (for OE rotor spinning machines and roving frames Machine- and plant pictures Non Wovens Bale opener Bale opener Mixer/storage unit High production opener Fibre blending Tuft feeder Control system Machine- and plant pictures Bale opener The Trützschler bale opener system comprises manual-feed and automatic bale openers.

Higher machine capacity.   Autocoro 360 The new Autocoro generation A Step Ahead The Autocoro 360 is the latest development of Schlafhorst in the sphere of automatic rotor spinning machines. A host of innovations incorporated in the machine offer Autocoro spinners enormous competitive advantages as regards productivity and flexibility of use as well as the quality of yarns and yarn packages. The new Autocoro 360 is a machine with up to 360 spinning positions producing yarn with take-up speeds up to 300 m/ min, thus being the most productive automatic rotor spinning machine world-wide. At user's choice, it can be equipped with 1, 2, 3 or 4 Coromat-units. The new universal spinbox Corobox SE 12 offers a degree of flexibility and high yarn quality never before achieved. The sliver intake (SDSI) is defined with exactitude by a stepper motor in each spinbox. The entire range of yarn counts can be spun from the same sliver. Fancynation, the modular-design hardware and software for the production of fancy/effect yarns is integrated into the Autocoro 360. The new yarn package generation CoroPack stands for greater cost-effectiveness and higher quality. Packages weighing up to 5 kg can be produced with Heavy Weight Package HWP.   New productivity potentials The world's most productive automatic rotor spinning machine with 360 spinning positions and take-up speeds up to 300 m/min Greater potential for all kinds of application Up to 360 spinning positions and take-up speeds up to 300 m/min means added production potential today for instance, in the spinning of soft knitting yarns or coarse yarns and a wider scope for new developments by fibre producers and in the spinning technology tomorrow, for instance, the possibility of using higher rotor speeds. Twelve percent more spinning positions in the same floor space 360 Autocoro spinning positions require the same floor space as machines of other manufacturers with a considerably smaller number of spinning positions, but they offer 13% higher productivity.   Corobox SE 12 The new Spinbox for the Autocoro 360 The universal Spinbox for all types of fibres and yarns Be it yarns of natural or of man-made fibres or blends of these fibres, smooth or structured yarns or yarns with 20-fold to 450-fold draft the Corobox SE 12 with its individual-motor controlled SDSI Single Drive Sliver Intake satisfies all kinds of demands and applications. With this system, the Autocoro 360 offers a degree of flexibility never before attained in rotor spinning. An added benefit is the improved yarn quality due to novel spinning components, such as the SL-Adapter.   Main advantages of Corobox SE 12 Structured yarns with Fancynation Drafts 20-fold to 450-fold The same sliver, up to 7 ktex (Ne 0.08) sliver count, can be used for spinning yarns of any fineness Optimum fibre opening even where fibre-to-fibre friction is high No-wear drive   New package dimension CoroPack Economy and Quality Autocoro yarn packages set new standards Whether the packages are large or small, lightweight or heavy the new CoroPack yarn package generation stands for higher economic efficiency and better quality. Packages with the proven diameter weigh up to 5 kilograms Reduced labour and transport costs Higher machine productivity in spinning and in the downstream processes        Regulation of spinning vacuum with EVA Electronic Vacuum Adjustment EVA For higher productivity and cost saving The Suction system of the Autocoro 360 with ist Electronic Vacuum Adjustment EVA for the regulation of the spinning vacuum ensures that the vacuum level is equal and remains constant at each spinbox. The vacuum level is adjusted automatically and remains reliably constant over a long time even in long machines with 360 spinning positions. This enables spinners to set the level of spinning vacuum significantly lower than has been the practice so far. This saves much energy. Constant spinning vacuum level High productivity even with high yarn breakage rates Energy savings Reduced labour costs due to the electronic setting and adjustment of parameters and to the fact that cleaning takes only half the time Optimized spinning stability with EVA Another benefit offered by EVA is that owing to the optimized spinning vacum the yarn breakage rate is reduced significantly. Maximum productivity is ensured even when the spinning stability is lower or the yarn break frequency higher. Flexible and yet productive even when there are variations in the raw material The Autocoro 360 is the only automatic rotor spinning machine that does not sustain losses in efficiency in case of variations in the raw material or when the spinning vacuum is set too low. EVA also reduces the operating costs. The individually adjustable filling-level limitation for the dust collecting chambers with automatic filling-level monitor guarantees that the dust collecting chambers are emptied at the appropriate moments.   New Coromat concept New horizons with up to 4 Coromat units Success in opening up new markets The Coromat combines the piecing and package doffing functions in one single unit. Up to 4 Coromat units per machine guarantee higher cost effectiveness and flexibility, even in extremely demanding applications. They offer new scopes and open up new fields of application. Higher yarn break rates a great impediment to high productivity in the past are of less importance with the Autocoro 360. The economic benefit of 3 or 4 Coromat units is particularly great: In spinning soft, low-twist knitting yarns. In spinning yarns from raw materials with a low spinning stability. In spinning Highspeed yarns with high rotor speeds. In spinning with small-diameter rotors. In spinning coarse-count yarns with frequent package doffing and low package weights. With frequent yarn lot changes. With a high clearer cut incidence, for instance, due to foreign fibre clearing. Fancy yarns with Fancynation Fancy Yarn Spinning System integrated in the Autocoro 360 The new way in the production of fancy yarns Fancynation is the modular-design hardware and software for the production of fancy yarn, integrated in the Autocoro 360. Fancynation provides economic advantages. It eliminates the need for using additional motors, gearboxes, control eqipment and operating elements with the associated reduction in productivity, higher complexity and greater amount of wear of the equipment. There are no such constraints in the Autocoro 360 with ist high-dynamic SDSI. Production of fancy yarns with no mechanical constraints. Higher productivity than ever before 100% reproducibility of the yarn effects. Spinning components specially designed for fancy yarn spinning. Modules: Fancy Pilot with Fancy Flex  Fancy Control Fancy Profile Fancy Oasys Gold Fancy Link   Intelligent Driving Technology IDS IDS Intelligent Drive System Time is money A milestone in the development of the Autocoro is the Intelligent Drive System IDS with direct, energy-saving drives of the Autocoro 360. All settings of spinning data including spinning vacuum and sliver intake can be optimized in incremental steps at the Infomator even while the spinning process continues. Thus, spinners can speed up yarn lot changes and product and process optimization. Settings are reproducible and variations in the raw material are equalised. Easy and precise process optimization Yarn twist level: 200 T/m to 1,500 T/m. Draft: 20- to 450-fold. Opening roller speed: 6,000 rpm to 11,000 rpm. Rotor speed: up to 150,000 rpm. Sliver intake speed: 0.1 m/min to 8 m/min. Spinning vacuum: 60 mbar to 95 mbar.
