At INDIA ITME 2016 in Mumbai, Zinser will be using its exhibition booth to present the ZinserImpact 72 compact spinning machine in combination with the Autoconer 6.
Autoconer 6: the benchmark for winding efficiency and intelligent automation
The Autoconer 6, now with E3 label, sets new benchmarks regarding energy, economics and ergo- nomics, due to intelligent sensor technology and smart process control. This has been proven since his market launch in numerous installations. Innovations such as LaunchControl, SmartCycle and SmartJet boost productivity by up to 6 percent compared with the previous model. The new Eco-Drum-Drive system, SmartCycle and the intelligent vacuum control system “Power on demand” reduce the energy consumption on the Autoconer 6 by up to 20 percent. Unique in the winding machinery market are its features, such as auto calibration of the splicer feeder arm, Energy Monitoring and intelligent doffer functions like SmartJet and TubeCheck. This makes winding more ergonomic and independent of personnel. The machine maintains its considerable lead in value creation with the Autoconer package, remaining the benchmark for quality and added value in downstream processing, both for commodity applications and for the very sophisticated demands of high-end applications. Schlafhorst offers customized technology solutions, incl. the new, flexible SmartSplicer-family. Suitable for every automation requirement, various features are available for perfectly automated and individually designed process flows for every spinning plant, from the manually operated machine type RM to the direct link to the ring spinning machine with type V.
Rotor spinning machines from Schlafhorst: the production platforms of the future
The new Autocoro 9 with its individual spinning position technology sets new records for energy consumption, productivity, economic efficiency, ease of operation and quality in the fully automated machine segment. It is a strong driver of optimized textile value creation in the textile process chain: 25 percent lower energy consumption, 19 percent reduction in spinning costs, proven rotor speeds of 180,000 rpm, take-up speeds of 300 m/min and a 60 percent lower servicing outlay are just some of its outstanding performance features. The new semi-automatic BD 7 is also in a league of its own, It produces extremely economical packages in Autocoro quality up to 320 mm in diameter. Up to 10 percent less energy consumption, extremely fast take-up speeds of 230 m/min on all lengths of machine and improved use of available space reduce spinning costs and increase the profitability of spinning mills in the semiautomatic segment.

CableCorder CC4 – twist & save with E3 technology
With its future-oriented technology, the CableCorder CC4 cabling machine, which has been awarded the Saurer E3 label, offers energy savings of up to 50 percent in the tire cord cabling process. Since energy represents by far the most significant cost factor in the overall cabling process, this promises revolutionary production cost savings for manufacturers of tire cord. The reduction in energy consumption also results in a lowering of the heat load in production facilities, which in turn leads to a lowering of air conditioning costs. The higher economic efficiency is also increased by up to 50 percent fewer yarn breaks, improved quality and high machine efficiency. The added value for machine operators consists of lower noise emissions in the production facility and reduced operating times thanks to user-friendly machine handling. An innovative enhancement of the machine to the production of 2-ply tire cord is the option for producing also 3-ply tire cord in a single-stage process.
