Rieter nippers
Rieter combers have been developed to operate at high nip rates.
Original spare parts from Rieter are essential to enable this advantage to
be exploited throughout the machine’s life cycle. This is also true of the
nippers. They feature the high precision of a Swiss watch movement and
are as unique as a fingerprint.
Fig. 1 The manually adjusted nip line means that
each original Rieter nipper is a high-precision part
with its own unique fingerprint.
Each nipper is unique
The Rieter nipper incorporates production and technology
know-how that has been developed over
decades and has demonstrated its qualities in the
operation of more than 100 000 nippers worldwide.
Rieter nippers feature unmatched precision in
clamping the laps.
In order to manufacture a nipper with such precision,
Rieter has for many years used a special process
for optimizing the nip line of each individual
nipper – adjustment by hand with the precision of
a Swiss watch movement. Each nipper therefore has
its own unique fingerprint. Its manufacturing data
are logged and archived, and can be traced back over
20 years.
Precision for optimum quality
High-precision clamping of the lap, in conjunction
with the optimized motion of the circular and top
combs, results in outstanding combing action over
the comber’s entire speed range.
Poor fiber selection has a negative impact on yarn
quality and thus on profitability. This is usually because
the lap has not been combed with sufficient
precision. Rieter nippers always clamp precisely and
perfectly.
Faster return on investment
Using Rieter nippers has a positive influence on profitability
within the combing process. Original Rieter
nippers enable output to be increased by up to 15
percent, while reducing noil extraction by up to 2
percent at the same time. Rieter nippers are key to
combing profitability. 11-208 •
