Indian spinner Sri Bhagirath has modernised its plant in Nagpur, Maharashtra
The company has linked 17 of its Rieter K 47compact spinning machines at the plant with Rieter Autoconer X6 winding units.
Equipped with a unique sieve drum compacting and a single-duct system for suction, the K47 produces high-quality compact yarns with much less energy for compacting in comparison to other solutions on the market.
The machine’s monitoring systems including the detect air guide element and the integrated ISM individual spindle monitoring system help it check the running properties of each spinning position. This enables it to achieve the highest level of yarn quality and machine efficiency and reduces operator workload. The machine also reduces operators’ efforts and time required for parameter setting and machine adopting through its semi-electronic drafting system.
The latest generation of Autoconer X6 machines offers intelligent and reliable automation. The machine offers self-optimising functions of the material flow, high cycle rates of the unique optic tube inspector and the efficient upper yarn gripping. The integrated SPID online-quality monitoring system also guides the operator to an off-standard spinning position in order to make corrections after the winding unit has detected faulty cops.
The new open prism technology of the machine enables the company to cover the complete yarn count range with only one prism and nearly no splice parameter variations. It has a consistent splice quality with average splice strength of more than 95 per cent.
