ITMA 2015 marks the market launch of Mayer & Cie.’s spinitsystems, a 3-in-1 concept of combining the three process stages spinning,cleaning and knitting in one machine, in an intelligent way what were previously separateprocesses in textile manufacturing.Rewinding, however is a step that was previously necessary – is no longer required.
“I am delighted that we can offer our prospective customersso much more than just a few fabric patterns. Our customers are, after all, breaking entirely newground with us and with Spinitsystems.” Says Michael A. Tuschak, in charge of Spinitsystemsmarketing anddistribution.
The Spinit 3.0 E is the first machine to be fitted out with the new technology. On this machine singlejersey knitwear is manufactured not from yarn but from roving straight from the spinning mill. Thismachine’s technology thus kicks in at an entirely different point from conventional circular knittingtechnology.
With spinitsystemstechnology the so-called flyer roving is taken from conventional flyer bobbins and fed to an electronically controlled conventional 3-over-3 roller drafting systemwhere it is drawn into a fine fibre bundle. The twin-jet false-twist spinning unit then takes over,feeding the fibre bundle to the knitting unit, where it is resolved on the yarn guide into a compositefibre without a twist. After cleaning the composite fibre is formed into loops by means of aconventional circular knitting process using the tried and trusted relative technology and a textilesurface takes shape.
This process provides the users with a whole array of advantages. Where the quality of the knittedgoods is concerned, its lack of a skew is especially striking. That is because spinitsystems processesroving straight into knitwear, knitting the fibres into loops gently and without a twist. Other benefitsthat struck customers in trials included the voluminous feel of the knitwear. That makes itparticularly suitable for use in manufacturing high-quality baby linen and nightwear and qualityshirts.
The combination of several processes also leads to lower overall capital investment in machinery. Italso brings a space saving of one third because ring spinning and winding machines are no longerrequired. Viewed acrossthe entire production process that leads to significantly lower production costs. At the same time theSpinit 3.0 E offers the user a gain in flexibility because in some cases different fabric weights can bemanufactured from the same flyer roving.
