new <strong>yarn</strong>, <strong>spun</strong> on the<br />

machine.<br />
The new J 20 airjet spinning machine could be admired<br />
for the first time on <strong>Rieter</strong>’s exhibition booth<br />
at the ITMA in Barcelona. The many interested visitors<br />
were impressed by its space-saving concept and<br />
clearly structured operating layout. An Ne 50 cotton<br />
<strong>yarn</strong> and an Ne 30 viscose <strong>yarn</strong> were <strong>spun</strong> simultaneously<br />
on the completely independent machine sides.<br />
Positive feedback from knitting mills to Hermann<br />
Bühler Ltd<br />
The cotton <strong>yarn</strong> was produced from raw material<br />
from Hermann Bühler’s spinning mill in<br />
Switzerland. This company already successfully manufactures<br />
ComforJet® <strong>yarn</strong>s on its <strong>Rieter</strong> airjet spinning<br />
machines and is one of the first licensees of the<br />
ComforJet® brand. Experience with purchasers of its<br />
<strong>yarn</strong>s is very positive. Renata Franz, Business Development<br />
Manager at Hermann Bühler, comments:<br />
“The good package build of the cylindrical bobbins<br />
facilitates faultless take-off behavior on the knitting<br />
machine.”<br />
High speeds on the knitting machine impress Santoni<br />
<strong>customer</strong>s<br />
Good running properties in the knitting mill have also<br />
been confirmed by Italian knitting machine manufacturer<br />
Santoni, the market leader in seamless knitting<br />
machines. The cylindrical packages of airjet-<strong>spun</strong><br />
<strong>yarn</strong> were supplied by Hermann Bühler and processed<br />
on its ATLAS HS (high speed) circular knitting<br />
machine in the company’s test center and on its<br />
booth at the ITMA in Barcelona.<br />
To quote Gianpiero Valsecchi, Santoni’s sales manager:<br />
“The high speed of 45 rpm and the extremely<br />
low fiber fly of the ComforJet® cotton <strong>yarn</strong> in particular<br />
fascinated us and visitors to our booth.” According<br />
to Gianpiero Valsecchi, ComforJet® <strong>yarn</strong> enables<br />
maximum productivity to be achieved while machine<br />
cleaning effort is reduced at the same time. Efficiency<br />
is improved significantly due to the very low incidence<br />
of fiber fly.<br />
Advantages for textile finishers and final <strong>customer</strong>s<br />
The special structure of the <strong>yarn</strong> enables size and<br />
dyestuff to be reduced in textile finishing. Compared<br />
to conventional ring-<strong>spun</strong> <strong>yarn</strong>, the finished fabric<br />
impresses after washing with extremely low pilling,<br />
lower shrinkage and very high dimensional stability.<br />
The uniform fabric appearance and – for an airjet<strong>spun</strong><br />
<strong>yarn</strong> – pleasantly soft hand in the finished fabric<br />
are further characteristic features of ComforJet®<br />
<strong>yarn</strong>. 12-109 •<br />
