Ready for the Future
Recent months were characterized by great uncertainty, although the
outlook was generally not so bad. In this environment, companies that
build on sustainability are particularly able to hold their ground. Sustainability
not only in the sense of environment protection but in the
development of lasting competitive advantages.
Rieter competence
can be experienced at
the ITMA Asia 2012 in
Shanghai – Hall W 2
Stand A 10 with all 4
spinning technologies.
Irrespective of whether the future looks rosy or uncertain,
successful companies continuously work on
improving their competitive situation.
In yarn production, relatively few factors are decisive:
productivity, material exploitation, energy consumption
and yarn quality. If these are positively further
developed and thereby the competitiveness sustainably
improved, it is easier to ensure success.
Rieter develops its products in this direction. In
this edition of the Link, we are presenting several
examples of how sustainable improvements can be
achieved with new, innovative products or with the
retrofitting of existing machines.
With a recycling line, valuable raw materials can be
regained and material costs reduced.

EDITORIAL
The new generation of the wide card sets new records
in productivity, quality and energy-saving.
Practical experience with the rotor spinning machine
R 60, presented on the occasion of the ITMA 2011,
substantiates the potential for softer yarns, higher
productivity and better quality – and that with a lower
energy consumption.
The customized Rieter automation between flyer and
ring spinning machine lowers costs and increases safety.
The same is achieved on the one hand with spindle
monitoring, which is also worthwhile as a retrofit,
and on the other hand with an upgrade for draw frames
that improves the quality and operational safety.
Over and above the product range, Rieter supports
its customers with comprehensive services. As an
example for technological competence, an article in
this edition describes the findings of an extensive
analysis on the subject of the processing of cotton
with a high proportion of short fibers. With tests in
the Rieter SpinCenter using all 4 spinning technologies,
this can be understood “live”.
For example, the support also includes the awarding
of yarn licenses, active communication of the Rieter
yarns and help with yarn marketing.
The overall competence of Rieter that makes life easier
for customers and can guide them along the path
to success can be experienced at the ITMA Asia 2012
in Shanghai on the Rieter Stand No. A 10 in Hall W 2.
Those who use Rieter competence simplify the way
to achieving sustainable competitiveness.
