Potential in compact spinning
Flexibility, increased production and quality
Zinser CompACT³ technology makes a very wide range of fibres and
raw materials universally utilizable. This also applies to the yarn
count. All counts are possible, from denim to fine yarn.
Adaptation to the raw material through the adjustable Zinser
CompACT³ unit
The properties of the fibres to be processed strongly influence the
spinning process. The correct tension of the fibres in the compacting
range exerts a significant influence on the yarn quality. Thanks to the
adjustability of the overfeed on the Zinser CompACT³, the compacting
zone can be adapted individually to the different raw materials. The
overfeed is set centrally at the machine. In addition, due to the
specifically adjustable separate compact vacuum it is possible to
react to the “compacting readiness” of various fibres. The compact
vacuum can be set easily and quickly at the machine operating
console via EasySpin.
Yarn engineering – adjustable yarn structure, new textile
products
Not every application requires e.g. the lowest possible hairiness of
the compact yarn. In special application areas the focus is on high
yarn strength. The adjustability of the overfeed in Zinser CompACT³
spinning makes it possible to influence the yarn values. The character
and structure of the compact yarn is thereby configurable and can
be adapted optimally to its ultimate purpose. Compact spinning permits
a high fibre substance utilization and makes it possible to shift the
spinning limit. As a result, mills can react more easily and quickly to
market demands and trends. It is also possible to react swiftly to
variations in the raw material. Naturally, the option also exists of
applying yarn engineering with Zinser CompACT³, i.e. developing
new textile products.
Increasing production and saving energy
Compact spinning opens up new options for increasing production.
In compact spinning, this is achieved either by means of a higher
spindle speed or by a reduction in yarn twist. How do the yarn
values behave then? Extensive series of trials revealed only slight
variations with regard to yarn values in both cases. It is only in the
case of a very strong reduction in twist that the strength and elongation
must be monitored. If one looks here also at the energy balance
and resource efficiency, however, an increase in speed means higher
energy consumption. An increase in the spindle speed also always
signifies increased wear of the spinning components. On the other
hand, a reduction in yarn twist has no negative effects on spinning
component wear and energy consumption.
The possibilities yielded in practice must be analysed in detail for a
specific application as far as the end product and examined individually
with a view to whether they can be realized.
A compact system with built-in quality assurance
Constant yarn quality with continuous compact characteristics can
only be ensured by the Zinser CompACT³. In the spinning process,
the Zinser 351 C³ compact spinning machines distinguish themselves
by very good running behaviour and very constant running stability.
Influencing factors, such as dust, trash particles or finishing agents
have no impact on the CompACT³ technology. The CompACT 3
element is immune to accumulated particle and fibre fly. Due to the
various deflection radii, the CompACT³ apron is self-cleaning. Staffand
time-intensive inspection rounds for quality assurance purposes
are not necessary. Reduced periods of cleaning, maintenance and
downtime are reflected in increased productivity, lower personnel
expenditure and resource efficiency. Thanks to the self-cleaning
process of the Zinser CompACT³, you gain maximum process
reliability. You can rely on always achieving superb yarn quality in
compacting.
