Compact-Spinning Machine K 48

Fully compacted yarns with high profitability and low energy consumption
  1. Compact yarns of highest perfection
  2. Up to 25% less energy
  3. Maximum production and flexibility
Compact-Spinning Machine K 48

Product details

The compact-spinning machine K 48 produces compact and special yarns with spindle speeds of up to 28 000 rpm while minimizing energy consumption. With a 25% faster doffing system, optimized cop transport, and the new short balloon setting, production time is significantly increased. The highly wear-resistant compacting unit is the basis for quality and efficiency, and eliminates the need for an additional suction system. The piecing robot ROBOspin ensures performance with minimal personnel, further enhanced by the Individual Spindle Monitoring (ISM) system premium.

Economy

The K 48 consumes minimal energy thanks to energy-efficient components such as LENA 28 spindles, IE4 main motors and optimized one-duct suction system for compacting. The power monitoring function on the operating unit supports to save additonal energy.

The High-Speed Package (34 mm spinning ring, 16 mm DUI tube/spindle dimension, LENA 28 spindle) enables maximum productivity. The K 48 runs with spindle speeds of up to 28 000 rpm and high delivery speeds of up to 40 m/min.

25% faster doffing within only 90 seconds brings massive productivity benefits. The 12% faster cop transport SERVOdisc for systems linked to the winding machine needs less maintenance.

Quality

The Individual Spindle Monitoring (ISM) system premium is now standard for all Rieter ring and compact-spinning machines. It monitors the running properties and simplifies operator guiding. Roving stop and the intelligent link system to the winder guarantee high yarn quality and maximum raw material utilization.

The air guide element Detect ensures precise air guiding and monitors the compacting process at each spinning position. This ensures a consistently high yarn quality.

The machine requires fewer wear parts as it does not include a compacting apron and is equipped with technology components that have long service lives, resulting in more consistent yarn quality.

Slub yarns
Devices for slub (VARIOspin), core, and twin yarn production for all machine lengths

Flexibility

The piecing robot ROBOspin ensures consistent quality of the yarn piecing and significantly reduces personnel requirements. The K 48 can work as a stand-alone machine or as a direct link or Multilink with the Rieter winding machine Autoconer X6.

A highly abrasion-resistant sieve drum coating increases the application range. Different raw materials, blends, and yarn counts can be spun with the shortest time for a machine changeover. For all machine lengths, the K 48 can be equipped with devices for slub (VARIOspin), core, and twin yarn production.

Rieter offers a complete compact-spinning system that is designed to process recycled fibers in the best possible way. The MMF Q-package simplifies the processing of man-made fibers and blends, therefore improving the performance of the machine.

    High-Speed Package for ring and compact spinning

    Maximizing the productivity in ring and compact spinning is an enormous challenge for the spinning mills. The Rieter specialists have put together a High-Speed Package, in which the components are optimally matched to one another: LENA 28 spindle + smaller spinning ring with a 34 mm diameter + spinning tubes with smaller DUI of 16 mm. This unique combination is the key for high-speed spinning.

  • G 38 short-balloon setting

    Short-balloon setting for ring and compact spinning

    The limiting factors in ring yarn production are yarn tension peaks and the interaction with ring and traveler. One of the most important tasks is to balance the various balloon forces during cop build-up. The new short-balloon setting optimizes these ratios and brings clear advantages in terms of lower yarn breaks, or increased spindle speeds and longer traveler lifetime.

    Ring-Winder-Connect in ESSENTIALoptimize

    The Rieter ring and compact-spinning machines form an intelligent subsystem with the winding machine Autoconer X6. Proven monitoring systems are already integrated: ISM premium in the ring spinning machine, SPID online quality monitoring in the winding machine. The new Ring-Winder-Connect module compares and analyzes data from both machines. The integration into ESSENTIALoptimize creates a new level of process optimization.
