Minimum lot changing times, maximum flexibility

SynchroDrive – synchronous operation of all spindles, uniform twist in yarnSynchroDrive ensures precise, synchronous operation of the spindles – a prerequisite for the lowest possible twist variations in the spun yarn. The unique Zinser multi-motor single tangential belt drive system is performance-optimised for low energy con-sumption.

Double power in the draft system for long ring spinning machinesSynchroDraft is the name of the powerhouse for long ring spinning machines with up to 1,248 spindles: The middle bottom rollers are driven from both sides. The drafting system drive is optimally syn-chronised.

ServoDraft thinks with you and safeguards your qualityThe closed control circuit ensures that the pre-set draft is precisely maintained. ServoDraft checks the set values for plausibility and consistency before they are used by the machine control system. This prevents yarn breaks and faults. Production data can be stored and called up at any time.

Fast lot changing with EasySpinThe controlled drafting system drive ServoDraft per-mits rapid lot changing times and therefore maximum flexibility. Changing the yarn count and twist is carried out easily and quickly at the EasySpin touchscreen of the machine. Twist and draft are infinitely variable.

Convenient and cost-saving: OptiStart, the automatic ring traveller running-in programThe automatic ring traveller running-in program OptiStart reliably and precisely executes the indivi-dual running-in phases of the ring travellers up to production speed. This significantly increases the traveller service life and relieves your personnel.

Higher speeds with OptiStep Ensure maximum productivity with OptiStep. The start-up, tip and main spinning speeds can be de- fined very accurately via a 10-point speed curve. This means you can operate far closer to the technological spinning limit across the entire bobbin build and achieve peak production. The traveller service life is also extended.

Tangential belt drive EasySpin

The variation in spindle speed is less than 1 % – the yarn twist is constant.

ZINSER 45110

Productivity plus

The speed turbo: up to 33 % more productiveIn spin finger spinning on the Zinser 451s, the yarn balloon is re-duced by repeated yarn wrapping around the spin finger. At the same time the spinning tension is reduced.

The result is greater productivity. Compared with classic worsted yarn spinning, the yarn break rate in spin finger spinning is con- siderably lower in relation to the speed. You either profit from a more favourable yarn break rate – or you can spin much faster at the same yarn break rate.

Outstanding yarn valuesWith or without spin finger – every Zinser 451 supplies premium worsted yarn all the way. Spin finger technology offers you a significant increase in productivity at the same time as maximum, constant yarn quality.

Precision and quiet running at highest speedsZinser high-speed spindles are another reason for the high productivity of the Zinser 451. Their pre-cise and highly stable bearing technology in par-ticular ensures absolute running smoothness at top speeds. The spindles are economic due to their low energy consumption, scarcely require maintenance and have a long service life.

Intelligent, low-maintenance technologyImpact FX shows its strength in the worsted yarn spinning process in particular. It is self-cleaning – wool grease, textile auxiliary oils and finishing agents have no effect on it. Top machine performance is guaranteed at all times, with low servicing times and costs.

Top-class results and maximum productivity all the timeThe system is also synonymous with outstanding process reliability and a uniformly high yarn quality. With the Zinser 451 Impact FX you produce compacted and even top-dyed yarns without any problems. Thanks to the separate vacuum unit for the compacting unit, constant compacting is assured by design. Any wool grade can be compacted perfectly with the adjustable tension draft. You simply adjust the transfer to the respective wool fineness and crimping.

Compared with classic ring spinning systems, yarn breaks are reduced by around 50 %. As well as this, the twist factor can be reduced by 10 – 15 % with the same strength and elongation. The bottom line is a significant increase in productivity for you.Read more in the supplemental brochure entitled “Zinser 451 Impact FX”

Benefit twice over: compact spinning and spin finger spinning combinedBy linking the advantages of both processes, com-pact spinning and spin finger technology, significant productivity increases are achieved by spinning without a spinning triangle and with a reduced balloon.

With the Zinser 451s Impact FX, you spin medium and fine compact wool yarns as well as blends of pure wool and manmade fibres 10 to 30 % more productively. The application range is extensive: all important fibre types and their blends can be pro-cessed to all major compact yarn qualities and counts.

Develop new yarns The Zinser 451 flexible model family offers compre-hensive opportunities for new textile products. You can thus satisfy even special customer requirements and secure a unique position in your market.

Automation means benefit

Producing independant of personnelIt is becoming increasingly difficult for spinning mills to find reliable staff. As a result, the automation trend is gaining greater momen- tum worldwide. But automation also increases and assures yarn quality.

Schlafhorst provides you with cost-efficient and customised automation solutions:– for doffing and the transport processes at the ring

spinning machine – for transport solutions from the ring spinning machine

to the winding machine

Flexible with the stand-alone solution or maximum efficiency with linked systemsDoff automation with full flexibility or maximum eco-nomic efficiency for large lots – it is your choice:

The Zinser 451 as a stand-alone machine with CoWeMat 395 F fits every space situation because it is spatially independent of the package winding machine. It enables you to produce flexibly and saves on personnel in particular thanks to CoWeFeed’s unique unsorted tube feeding.

The Zinser 451 linked machine with CoWeMat 395 V can be linked to any commercially available package winding machine and reduces your labour and space requirements to a minimum.

Doff automation with maximum efficiency: CoWeMat

Uniquely time-saving: CoWeFeedZinser has the solution with the lowest labour input: CoWeFeed, the unsorted tube feeding. The empty tubes are simply dumped into the feed container – sorting is not required. One filling is sufficient for a full take-off, even with super-long ring spinning machines.

Smart design prevents malfunctionsJammed tubes will not cause CoWeFeed to malfunction, regardlessof their position and orientation. Even with 1,248 spindles, removing the bobbins and feeding the empty tubes is rapidly carried out be-tween two doffs – for maximum productivity.

No checks requiredThe Zinser CoWeMat is synonymous with the world’s most efficient doffing technology. In the case of other doffing systems design-related malfunction risks are known, which require persistent controls. Here, individual leaks can even cause machine stoppage. This is not the case with the CoWeMat: if a gripper malfunctions, the CoWeMat and the machine continue running, because all outer grippers are supplied with compressed air separately from the machine’s vacuum system. A safety membrane in each gripper also ensures that the air-guiding elements are not subjected to mechanical stress.

Even for high-tenacity yarnsA light barrier monitors the smooth flow of the doffing sequence. In the event of a malfunction, the machine shuts down automatically. Even high-tenacity yarns are separated reliably.

ZINSER 451 17

Lowest labour utilisation, highest reliability

Customised: steaming in linked systemsOf course, the ring spinning machines of the Zinser 451 flexible model family offer the optimal interface in each case for all commercial linked steaming systems. The continuous steaming pro-cess between the ring spinning machine and the winding machine additionally reduces the cycle time of production.

Zinser BobbinTray – for greater productivityThe individually guided, round BobbinTrays and the conveyor belt ensure precise positioning dur-ing doffing and a rapid, reliable material flow.

Maximum economic efficiency in linked systemsA linked system with super-long ring spinning machines pays, par-ticularly for the continuous production of big lots without many changes. Many efficiency factors can be optimally exploited, e.g. use of space, coordination of winding and spinning capacity, minimisation of the labour requirement and quality management. As a result, efficiency is increased and production run times are significantly reduced.

Little effort is required on your part to link the ring spinning ma-chines of the Zinser 451 model family with CoWeMat 395 V with all commercially available automatic package winding machines.

Higher package quality, maximum efficiencyThe contactless transfer of the bobbins ensures that 100 % spun yarn quality is maintained. The advantage is that, thanks to gentle transport of the yarn bobbins, problem-free unwinding with ex-tremely low yarn break rates and maximum efficiency and quality is to be expected.
