Bräcker, a specialist for key components for ring spinning machines, will introduce several innovative solutions at ITMA. One of its 
important innovations is the STARLETplus traveller to be introduced at the show. In challenging conditions like high humidity or aggressive fibres, the STARLETplus offers additional benefits: The traveller service life can be prolonged by up to 50 per cent and, with its improved coating, the new traveller offers better resistance against corrosion. These advantages result in lower maintenance costs in the spinning mill. During the entire service life yarn quality values remain constant.
The STARLETplus is particularly recommended for viscose and CO/CV blends, dyed MMF fibres and special applications. The new traveller is suitable for the entire yarn count range.
Another innovation to be presented at ITMA is the BERKOL supergrinder with integrated Berkolizing unit (UV-treatment) for automatic grinding of ring, roving and air spinning top rollers. The modular machine improves the grinding capacity as compared to the previous version by more than 50 per cent.
The BERKOL supergrinder has a grinding capacity of up to 350 top rollers per hour and offers a storage capacity of 450 top rollers with 32 mm diameter. At the same time, power consumption can be reduced by 10 per cent.
The BERKOL supergrinder has a touch panel for easy operation. The user interface is multi-lingual in German, English, Chinese, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian and Turkish.
The other products which Bräcker will present at ITMA include TITAN and ORBIT spinning rings, PYRIT and ZIRKON travellers, cost saving maintenance tools, and the well-known range of BERKOL cots and aprons.
