Bräcker, of Rieter Group, is a specialist in making key components for ring spinning machines. The company is introducing several innovative solutions in Istanbul.
One of Bräcker’s important innovations at ITM is the STARLETplus traveller. 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% and due to its improved coating the new traveller shows a better resistance against corrosion. These advantages result in lower maintenance costs in the spinning mill. During the entire service life the 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 presented at ITM is the BERKOL® supergrinder for automatic grinding of ring, roving and air spinning top rollers. The modular machine improves the grinding capacity compared to the previous version by more than 50%. 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, the power consumption has been reduced by 10%. 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. Other products, which Bräcker has presented include TITAN and ORBIT spinning rings, PYRIT and ZIRKON travellers, cost saving maintenance tools and the well-known range of BERKOL® cots and aprons.
