Oerlikon Neumag, a global market and technology leader for turnkey plants for the production of BCF carpet yarn, is showing RoTac3, the rotating tangle unit, at the ongoing ITMA 2015 expo at Milan, at booth A105, hall 4.
In comparison to conventional tangle units, the RoTac3 technology forms the tangle knots with a pulsating instead of a continuous air current. This means that compressed air is only consumed if a tangle knot is to be formed. This is achieved with a special tangle nozzle that rotates with the yarn. Several holes are incorporated around the nozzle cover, according to the number of desired knots and the distance between them. If a hole is now positioned over the compressed air opening, an air blast is released and tangles the yarn.Oerlikon Neumag, a global market and technology leader for turnkey plants for the production of BCF carpet yarn, is showing RoTac3, the rotating#
With this, tangle knots can be produced at defined distances and strengths. The discontinuous compressed air impulse also considerably reduces the required volume flow and compressed air consumption – by up to 50 per cent compared to conventional tangle units, depending on the yarn type. Since energy consumption is reduced as a result, RoTac3 bears the e-save label from Oerlikon Manmade Fibres for particularly energy efficient, environmentally friendly technologies.
The RoTac3 technology also eliminates tangle dropouts, which can occur repeatedly at a high process speed with conventional tangling. It ensures very gentle yarn guiding and reduced yarn tension as well as better process stability. This particularly supports future trends such as fine titer and sophisticated polymers, according to a press release.
Martin Rademacher, sales director at Oerlikon Neumag said, “Many of our customers also confirm that the yarn quality for the downstream processes has improved and the corresponding process steps have been made easier. At ITMA 2015, the company is thus expecting further encouragement for the successful product, which is available as a component with the three-end BCF plant S+ or can be retrofitted.” (GK)
