Saurer worsted spinning machines – new design
The Saurer ZI 451 worsted compact spinning machine was presented at the ITMA with a new attractive design and colour scheme. All the machines in the ring spinning range now enjoy a modern contemporary design.
The Saurer ring spinning machines for worsted yarns have been offering impressive flexibility and cost-effectiveness for years. They not only produce wool, cashmere and silk yarns as well as their blends, but also acrylic yarns for the carpet industry. While the areas of application for wool used to be limited to suit fabrics, the focus today goes beyond this classic application to also include functional clothing for sports and outdoor activities in particular as well as interiors for the automotive and aviation industries.
Pioneering compact spinning technology
The self-cleaning system, flexibly adjustable tension draft and separate constant vacuum supply enable its use in wool processing, as well as making the Impact FX system the recognised market leader.
The vacuum unit always guarantees full compacting power, ensuring that the desired yarn character is maintained at a constant level at all times. Impact FX is the only self-cleaning compact system in the world, guaranteeing perfect, uniform compact yarn without labour-intensive monitoring. The system is resistant to wool grease, textile lubricants and finishing agents. The flexible compacting apron is of crucial importance in this. The flexing effect at the deflection point of the apron prevents trash particles and fibre fragments from becoming lodged. Linear air flowpaths with optimal aerodynamics also prevent accumulations of trash and blockages.
Low staff requirement, reliable operation
The ZI 451 has an electronic overdelivery gear drive. Wool fineness and crimp can be adjusted precisely on the Easyspin. Significantly better yarn values and running properties are achieved. Variations in the raw material can be corrected in a matter of seconds. Easyspin is so easy and secure to operate that the number of staff required and downtimes can be reduced significantly. All lot data is automatically transferred to the lot data memory and is always available for a new spinning operation. It can also be transferred to any worsted spinning machine by USB stick, guaranteeing identical yarn quality at all times.
Always keeping up with energy consumption
Sustainable production is becoming increasingly important in today’s world. The Saurer worsted spinning machines can be equipped with an Energy Monitoring programme. Energy consumption is displayed on the Easyspin and is always visible to the staff. The integrated online measurement saves time, resources and personnel.
Intelligent speed maximisation
The intelligent Optispeed speed maximisation system automatically and independently determines the optimum speed at the technological spinning limit together with the integrated individual spindle monitoring (ISM) according to a specified yarn break limit, thus ensuring maximum efficiency.
The ZR 451 and ZI 451 worsted ring spinning machines offer sophisticated machine technology and are first-class partners in meeting exclusive quality requirements in the extremely demanding worsted industry environment.
