Marzoli will display at ITMA 2015 its new CM7 comber with automated lap piecing. An R&D study reveals that the comber ensures substantial reduction of neps and short fibers and perfect evenness of the sliver; the mechanical speed is of up to 600 nips/min with production volumes of up to 85 kg/h); reduction in energy consumption; and better selection of fibers.
These results have been achieved with a complete revision of the kinematics of the machine. The outstanding energy saving stems from the implementation of the most advanced electric motors available in the market today.
One of the major innovations represented by the new CM7 comber is the lap piecing technology. This technology automatically changes the empty tubes with full laps and restarts the machine without the operator intervention. This highly reliable system allows increase in the machine efficiency, thanks to reduction of machine downtimes and operator effort.
Moreover, the automatic lap piecing system also has a positive influence on quality as it entails the perfect overlapping of the two batts, thereby increasing the regularity of the sliver also in the points where lap change has occurred.
