place induced between the drafting system and the<br />
doffing calender is transported until it is under the<br />
turntable, where it breaks when can change occurs.<br />
The patented sliver separation function is standard<br />
equipment on the machine.<br />
Quality with CLEANcoil turntable<br />
At high delivery speeds the coiler is of crucial importance<br />
for quality. This is where the mill-proven<br />
CLEANcoil turntable comes into its own. CLEANcoil’s<br />
patented sliver channel geometry ensures coiling<br />
free of incorrect drafts. Due to the special honey-<br />
comb structure on the underside of the turntable, the<br />
cleaning cycle is up to seven days, even with critical<br />
types of manmade fiber.<br />
Innovative sliver feeder for large-format supply cans<br />
A driven cylinder feeder is standard equipment on<br />
the SB-D 11. As is the case on the (R)SB-D 40, a sliver<br />
feeder designed precisely for this application is<br />
used for cans 1 000 mm in diameter. An additional<br />
guide ring over the center of the can guarantees centered<br />
take-off of the slivers without incorrect drafts<br />
and malfunctions, to the very last meter. This keeps<br />
efficiency high and prevents sliver residues in the<br />
cans.<br />
Benefits of large-format delivery cans<br />
Double-head drawframes of Asian design can only fill<br />
cans no more than 500 mm or in some cases 600 mm<br />
in diameter. The SB-D 11 enables cans 1 000 mm in<br />
diameter and 1 500 mm high to be used. This means<br />
up to 200 000 fewer can movements and sliver piecings<br />
per year and SB-D 11, and thus corresponding<br />
benefits in terms of operator effort and quality.<br />
Large can formats and capacities are also important<br />
at the next process stage, e.g. in combing preparation.<br />
Production efficiency of the OMEGAlap is therefore<br />
up to 8% higher when cans 1 000 mm instead of<br />
500 mm in diameter are used.<br />
High flexibility<br />
The same top rollers and turntables are used on the<br />
SB-D 11 as on the (R)SB-D 40. This increases flexibility<br />
and reduces inventory costs. A striking feature<br />
of the SB-D 11 due to its compact design is its good<br />
accessibility. This enables operating, adjusting and<br />
maintenance tasks to be performed easily and quickly<br />
(Fig. 4). The machine can also be assembled and<br />
commissioned very quickly. 8-106 •<br />
