N. Schlumberger that makes textile machinery dedicated to the processing of long fibers will show its wool spinning technologies at ITME India. The machineries on show from the France-based company include: GC40 chain gills, GN8 intersecting drawing machine, ERA 40 combing machine and the new range of worsted and semi-worsted cards.
The GC40 chain gill is a high performance drafter with speeds of up to 600 meter per minute, while offering high productivity and quality. The GC40 offers optimal textile control at high speeds and has a high cleaning system and comes with a drafting head with a light moving assembly.
The new range of worsted and semi-worsted cards is adaptable for wool between 17 and 33 µ. It incorporates a progressive process technology, while respecting the wool fibers. It comes with a hopper with a continuous flow and constant feeding density and also has an integrated suction and an input auto leveler.
The cards come with high power for removing burr and have a low inactive angle for a high material yield. The high productivity is based particularly on swift high speed. In the ERA 40 combing machine, progressive combing is achieved by a circular comb pinned over 360° and turning at a constant speed by producing tops, featuring new quality standards. It has precise and recordable adjustments, ensuring consistent high levels of cleanliness, while offering reduced operational and maintenance costs.
The ERA 40 works on a specific combing principle while being very gentle on the fibers and offers fairly high production efficiencies of more than 50 kg per hour for 21/22 µ wool. Adjustments of the nip distance and other parameters are possible from the machine screen or remote without stopping the machine.
