Key products in detail

A 11 UNIfloc automatic bale opener - Economical cleaning starts with microtufts

The foundations for yarn quality and thus the quality of the textile end product are laid in the blowroom process. This is the basis of the successful use of Rieter’s  UNIfloc A 11 automatic bale opener worldwide. The UNIfloc A 11 processes the fiber material gently and efficiently into microtufts, from which impurities can be removed very readily in the subsequent processes. This effectively supports the quality and economic efficiency of yarn manufacture.

B 12 UNIclean pre-cleaner - Efficient and reliable pre-cleaning

The  UNIclean B 12 pre-cleaner cleans the microtufts in the first cleaning stage immediately after the UNIfloc A 11. This enables machine output of up to 1 400 kg/h to be achieved. Cleaning is performed without nipping and is therefore very gentle to the fibers and at the same time efficient. VarioSet enables waste volume and waste composition to be adjusted optimally at the push of a button. This ensures a high level of raw material utilization.

B 71 / B 75 UNImix homogeneous mixer - Efficient mixing process with the 3-point method

The  B 71 / B 75 UNImix guarantees homogeneous, intimate mixing of the bale feed, even with unfavorable bale lay-down. The unique 3-point mixing process is equally suitable for cotton and man-made fibers. Eight mixing chambers ensure not only effective mixing, but also high output and large storage capacity. Disturbances during bale take-off are prevented from having an adverse impact on subsequent processes.

A 81 UNIblend precision blender - Economical and precisely metered blending for quality yarns

The  UNIblend A 81 precision blender sets the highest standard for multi-component blending with an accuracy featuring less than 1% deviation. The UNIblend A 81 enables four different carding lines to be supplied with different blends. The maximum output of the A 81 is 1 000 kg/h. Processing a large number of different staple fibers facilitates a rapid and economical response to fashion trends.

Further advantages are: reduced space requirements, low energy consumption and lower capital cost..

SB/RSB-D 40 draw frame - Milestones in draw frame technology

Rieter has again achieved a quantum leap in draw frame technology with the new RSB-D 40 draw frame. With improved scanning, autoleveling dynamics and innovative drafting system extraction it delivers superior quality values at up to 1 100 m/min. Long operating periods without cleaning are possible with the CLEANcoil coiler when processing manmade fibers. Automatic autoleveling adjustment with AUTOset reduces manual tests in the laboratory. The AUTOhelp spectrogram diagnostic system displays causes of faults graphically on the machine panel. Energy consumption is up to 10% lower than for the predecessor model.

E 35 OMEGAlap combing preparation – Quantum leap in combing preparation

The  E 35 OMEGAlap combing preparation machine offers maximum output and economy. Lap production is based on a completely new technology. The core element is a belt winding system. The belt specially developed for this purpose is wrapped around the lap as it builds up. This results in optimum distribution of contact pressure over the circumference of the lap. This enables uniformly built-up laps of optimum quality to be produced with maximum productivity.

E 66 / E 76 Comber - The leader in combing

74 kg/h on the new, fully automated  E 76 comber or 72 kg/h on the E 66 comber – these are the effective production figures of the new combers.

Rieter Yarns

Com4® - Compacted ring-spun yarn

The unique character of  Com4® compact yarns is based on their perfect structure. In contrast to conventional ring-spun yarns, all the fibers lie parallel and are completely integrated in the yarn bundle. This leads to reduced hairiness and higher tenacity and elongation properties of the yarn. This results in enhanced efficiency in the preparatory stages of downstream processing and in fabric manufacture as well as providing the basis for new, high-quality applications.

ComfoRo® - High-quality rotor-spun yarn

With innovative AEROpiecing® technology the fully automated Rieter rotor spinning machine produces virtually faultless rotor-spun yarn with yarn-like piecings. This hitherto unmatched quality has been given the name  ComfoRo®. This outstanding yarn quality opens up new fields of application and economical manufacturing processes.

ComforJet® - Air-jet spun yarn

The unique features of the  ComforJet® air-jet yarn make it different from the other spinning technologies. The ComforJet® yarn, formed by the flow of compressed air, shows very low hairiness with short fiber ends and small loops. This results in high wash and pilling resistance. The yarn softness and voluminosity lead to visibly higher fabric density and fabric evenness. Thanks to ComforJet® piecing technology the piecing is unrecognizable in the fabric, which adds to the fabric’s value.

Original spare parts from Rieter Parts

Original  Rieter technology components, retrofits and reconstructions are subject to the same quality standards as Rieter machines and systems. This guarantees the constant value and the high operational safety of Rieter machines and installations. The yarn qualities achieved fulfil high economical and technological standards.
With every new machine generation, improvements in the energy efficiency are integrated into the new machine constructions. Customers with machines that have been in operation for several years can also profit from the new developments in power-saving.
