Rieter Textile Systems:New J 10 Air-jet spinning machine

Rieter Textile Systems develops and manufactures machinery, systems and components for producing yarns from natural and manmade fibers and their blends. Rieter covers the entire spinning process and can therefore develop optimal solutions for customers. Specific energy consumption (kW/kg of yarn) has continued to gain in importance in recent years in relation to manufacturing costs in textile production processes. Rieter Spun Yarn Systems has always given special attention to this sensitive aspect and takes it into account both in new developments and in retrofit kits for older generations of machines.

Rieter offers all 4 end spinning machines from one source: ring spinning, compact spinning, rotor spinning and the air-jet spinning technology.  Rieter provides advice, which spinning system is the most suitable for the individual customer requirements. To compare the economic aspects of all 4 spinning systems, customers benefit from spin plan and pay back calculations for the whole spinning mill.

The optimization of the fiber and sliver preparation process has a big impact on the machine performance and yarn quality. This aspect was again clearly visible during the market introduction of the new J 10 air-jet spinning machine.

J 10 Air-jet spinning machine

The newly developed J 10 air-jet spinning machine presents an innovative technology in the area of drafting and automation. J 10´s modular and double-sided machine concept provides for the top level of production flexibility. The unique quality features of the ComforJet® yarn manifest benefits for spinners, for down-stream processing and for final end-users. High speed features in yarn delivery and winding put this machine at the top of the productivity rate scale.

Leading features are:

• The J10 comprehensive high-speed concept with individually driven winding system allows delivery speeds of up to 450 m/min.
• The unique sliver traversing system reduces wear of rubber rollers and consequently maintenance and spare parts costs.
• The J10 machine is fully automated with robots performing piecing at the start-up of the machine, piecing after a break or a quality cut and doffing of full packages.
