Latest Innovations
The fiber preparation the new UNIclean B 15 and the new high-performance card C 80 bring significant improvements in terms of energy consumption and the cleaning result for all spinning processes. An unrivaled level of productivity can be reached.
To increase the cost-effectiveness of the ring spinning and compact-spinning process, Rieter launched the new comber E 90, the new roving frame F 40, the piecing robot ROBOspin for ring spinning machines and two different compacting devices that can easily be installed on and removed from a ring spinning machine: COMPACTdrum and COMPACTeasy.
The new draw frame module RSB-Module 50 can be used in combination with the high-performance card C 80 and can be configured to a highly efficient direct process with the new semi-automated rotor spinning machine R 37 or the fully automatic rotor spinning machine R 70. Both machines are characterized by low energy consumption, high productivity and high machine availability with low raw material costs. Rieter also introduced the economical air-jet spinning process for highest quality yarns made from 100% combed cotton.
The component manufacturers of the Rieter Group offer new innovations like the CARBO ring traveler from Bräcker for highest demands in man-made fiber spinning and the new Solidring from Suessen for rotor spinning to reach best yarn quality with longest lifetime.
All these innovations are aimed at reducing the raw material, energy and labor costs while increasing productivity and flexibility in the spinning mill.
