  2. Save up to 1% of raw material
  3. 40% energy saving
Rieter blowroom technology: VARIOline

Introducing VARIOline

The blowroom line VARIOline is the variable concept for optimally opening and cleaning fibers. This guarantees the highest level of yarn quality. All blowroom machinery is designed to support an impressive line production performance of up to 2 400 kilograms per hour.

VARIOline consumes around 40% less energy than solutions from other providers. The optimum combination of microtufts, the VARIOset function and progressive cleaning delivers a 1% raw material saving compared with other systems available on the market.

Additionally, the optional intelligent software ECOrized, can further reduce energy consumption in fiber transport by 30%.

High performance and low energy consumption

All VARIOline blowroom machinery is designed to support an impressive line production performance of up to 2 400 kilograms per hour. The combination of microtufts, progressive cleaning and flexible setting options when using the VARIOset function achieves a high level of raw material use. The VARIOline blowroom line consumes around 40% less energy than solutions from other providers.

Gentle opening and cleaning of fibers

The gentle opening and cleaning of the fibers is the key to the highest yarn quality. It is essential that the raw material is opened into microtufts in order to ensure optimal cleaning and dedusting of the fibers in the downstream blowroom process. Thanks to the unique 3-point mixing process, fibers are evenly mixed. This ensures consistent yarn quality over a prolonged period.

Modular set-up according to customer requirements

Thanks to the VARIOset function, the blowroom machinery adapts to the properties of the raw material at the touch of a button. Using just a few standard machines and a range of cleaning and opening modules, any blowroom can be tailored to the customer’s requirements. Flexibility with small ranges: The mixing opener and mixing bale opener are the ideal choices where space is limited and where the assortment changes frequently.

What customers say about the VARIOline

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between VARIOline and VARIOline ECOrized?

Both systems share the same core concept of delivering high fiber quality, continuous material flow, and optimized cleaning. The key difference lies in energy efficiency:

VARIOline: The standard configuration already offers significant energy savings compared to conventional blowroom lines, thanks to intermittent waste extraction, energy-efficient drives and optimal blowroom line layout.

VARIOline ECOrized: This is the energy-optimized version of VARIOline. It focuses on reducing energy consumption for material transport by up to 30% through advanced air control, optimized ducting, and highly efficient fan systems. ECOrized maintains the same cleaning performance and production capacity while lowering operating costs and environmental impact.

How does VARIOline stand out compared to traditional blowroom systems?

Unlike traditional systems, VARIOline combines continuous material flow with intelligent air management and a streamlined machine layout. This reduces fiber stress and lowers energy consumption. In addition, the system’s advanced cleaning technology ensures maximum trash removal while preserving fiber length, resulting in improved yarn quality and reduced waste.

Which fibers can VARIOline process?

VARIOline is highly versatile and can process cotton, man-made fibers, and blends, including recycled materials. Its adaptable configuration makes it suitable for a wide range of fiber types and spinning applications, ensuring flexibility for mills producing diverse yarn qualities.

What production capacities can VARIOline achieve?

Depending on the chosen configuration and fiber type, VARIOline delivers production rates of up to 2 400 kg/h while maintaining consistent quality. Its high throughput capability supports large-scale operations without compromising cleaning efficiency or fiber integrity.

How flexible is the VARIOline system?

VARIOline features a modular design that allows mills to customize the line according to production goals, fiber types, and available space. Machines can be arranged to fit different layouts, and the system can be easily expanded or adapted to future requirements, making it a long-term investment for spinning mills.
