approach in market-
ing the yarn:
• Selling the yarn
with a premium as
compact yarn.
• Use a lower grade
cotton mix and sell
the yarn as standard
yarn with similar proper-
ties but reduced hairiness.
• Reducing the twist of
the yarn resulting in a softer
hand and gaining increased
productivity on the ring frame.
• Reducing the amount of
comber noil and still keeping the
same tenacity level at substantial
lower hairiness.
The latest innovation Rotorcraft
has successfully brought to the ring
spinning market is the energy sav-
ing spindle, RoLeC (Rotorcraft Low
Energy consumption Spindle). The
optimized spindle design for tubes
of up to 200 mm in length reduces
power consumption by as much as
10-15 per cent. RoLeC is offered
as complete spindles to mills or as
inserts MM52 to spindle makers.
Depending on the power cost the ad-
ditional investment can be retrieved
within 1½-2 years.
At 2011 ITMA Barcelona, Ro-
torcraft introduced new additions
to its product portfolio: RoLuB
(Rotorcraft Lubrication Beam), an
entirely new spindle lubricating sys-
tem which allows carrying out the
oil change without removing the
spindle top part or the necessity to
take down the tapes.
