The smart, fast way to a new yarn
Oerlikon Schlafhorst is extending its globally successful Fibre to
Fabric Engineering programme for Autocoro yarns to its entire range
of machines.
With Oerlikon Schlafhorst spinning machines, the world of yarn
manufacture from staple fibres knows virtually no bounds. Whether
top-quality yarns for suits and shirts, yarns for textiles to update and
enhance the home, yarns for functional outdoor textiles, for soft and
cosy towels or for this year’s hottest T-shirts, many textiles would
scarcely have made it to the consumer without the creative engineers
and textile technologists of Oerlikon Schlafhorst and their technological
networks.
The road from an idea to the favourite piece in one’s wardrobe is
often a long one, and several aspects have to be taken into account.
At the beginning are always the fibres and the correct selection and
blend of these. Tried and tested fibres like cotton, new functional
fibres from the synthetic fibre sector, high-quality wool fibres or also
exotic-seeming blends incorporating bamboo fibres or Seacell – the
range is huge. Similarly, when it comes to spinning the fibres, there
are numerous yarn manufacturing options. The spinning mills that
have found their ideal solution with regard to the process and the
spinning setting, both as far as quality and productivity are concerned,
are sitting pretty. The optimum settings are often a closely guarded
secret, for in many cases the recipe for success is the result of
protracted hard work. Even in the knitting and weaving process, a

host of factors dictates whether the product will come top or flop.
The finishing touches are put to the textiles in the finishing process,
and here again there are factors to be borne in mind. A product
developer must take all these factors on board and make allowances
for them – and that’s not always an easy task.
Individual product development can also tie up a lot of staff, time and
capital in the spinning mills. Whether the outlay offers the promise of
success often only becomes clear months later. But the process is
getting simpler and faster. To shorten these long routes, Oerlikon
Schlafhorst offers spinning mills extensive support in textile product
development in the context of Fibre to Fabric Engineering. The
textile engineers of Oerlikon Schlafhorst are closely acquainted with
the processes and have already demonstrated their competence in
various applications in both the ring spinning and rotor spinning
sector. More than 40 successful projects bear witness to this. So
many aspects that spinning mills have to work hard on have already
been developed extensively by Oerlikon Schlafhorst technologists.
The Oerlikon Schlafhorst textile technologists are happy to share this
know-how with companies with Oerlikon Schlafhorst machines.
