ITMA 99 Survey 1: Short-Staple Opening and Carding.

A review of opening and carding machinery shown at ITMA 1999, in Paris, addresses trends in blowroom equipment, auxiliary equipment, carding machines, card clothing, and cans. Trutzschler GmbH showed its Blendomat BDT 020 and Cleanomat bale plucking machines. Jossi Systems displayed its Argus Fire Control spark diverter, which prevents fi..

ParfiL Wrap Spinning Machines.

The Suessen ParfiL spinning system manufactures parallel staple yarns via wrap spinning. A continuous filament wrapping spiral holds together the untwisted, parallel fibers. The straight yarn path, elimination of rings and travelers, and low air resistance maximize spindle speeds. The addition of optical devices facilitates the manufactur..

Cera-Nit Spinning Rings.

Reiners and Furst GmbH's Cera-Nit spinning rings are manufactured from through hardened ball bearing steel with a ceramic-like hardness structure. The highly polished surface layer provides the lowest roughness values, a surface structure with almost no friction, a running-in process that requires few traveler changes, and a long service ..
