Trützschler’s T-MOVE — The Completely Different Card Can Changer

MÖNCHENGLADBACH, Germany — July 5, 2016 —In recent years, card productions have increased rapidly. The can changers, however, have not adapted accordingly. To change a can, the delivery speed of the card must be significantly lowered and then increased again after the change. This reduces efficiency and impacts sliver quality.

The filling head changes position, not the can

T-MOVE performs can changes at delivery speeds up to 300 meters per minute. This is only possible due to the controlled movement of a machine element. The cans remain stationary.

The sliver, of course, is automatically separated at a precisely defined point. Simultaneously with the movement of the filling head, the full can comes to a stop and the empty can starts to turn.

All other can changers require reduced speed during the can change. The relatively unstable cans are not suited for the increased accelerations and decelerations.

Large cans result in more economic efficiency and less sliver piecings

The use of even larger cans at the card is only possible with T-MOVE. The new JUMBO CANS have a diameter of 1,200 millimeters (mm) and hold 43-percent more sliver than regular cans with 1,000 mm diameter. This increases economic efficiency and improves quality by eliminating unnecessary sliver piecings in the creel of the downstream draw frame.

Filtration Industry Growth To Be Celebrated at INDA’s 25th Annual Filtration International Conference & Exposition

CARY, N.C. — July 5, 2016 — INDA will celebrate the strength and growth of the filtration market at its 25th anniversary edition of the Filtration International Conference & Exposition in Philadelphia this fall.

Started as a small conference in a hotel setting in 1991 by INDA, then in collaboration with the American Filtration & Separations Society, the Filtration International Conference & Exposition has become the industry’s most important filtration event in North America.

Filtration 2016 will be held Nov. 8-10 at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia. Attendees will toast the 25th anniversary milestone at the industry reception Nov. 9, from 5 to 6 p.m., on the show floor. Business engagement will continue throughout the exposition where industry participants from around the world and across the supply chain will have the opportunity to connect with buyers and decision makers.

A special 25th anniversary seal and Filtration logos created by INDA to commemorate the occasion can be used by exhibitors in their marketing. They are available on INDA’s website: http://www.inda.org/events/filt16

The Filtration International Conference & Exposition has experienced dramatic growth from 200 delegates with 20 tabletop displays in its first year to 1500 attendees and more than 140 exhibitors last year.

“As INDA celebrates the 25th edition of Filtration, we reflect upon the incredible breadth of innovations, new technologies, and advancements that have taken place over the past few decades,” said Dave Rousse, INDA President. “This milestone is extremely important as it shows the vitality and health of the filtration industry to support this annual international business event for 25 years. INDA is excited to see what the future will bring as the Filtration sector of nonwovens continues to be a leader in the overall growth of nonwovens and engineered fabrics.”

Increased demand and regulations for cleaner air and water as well as for more sterile environments in healthcare markets has helped fuel the growth in this segment over the past two decades. North American end use sales of filter media products are forecast to reach $19.1 billion in 2018, a robust 4.4 percent annual growth rate from 2008.

The event has evolved with the industry’s needs. Originally planned as a biennial event, Filtration was changed early on to an annual conference starting in 1993 due to the market’s vitality. In 1996, it moved to a convention center setting with exhibitor booths replacing tabletop displays to give companies more room to showcase their offerings.

Filtration currently alternates between the East Coast and the Midwest to better serve the needs of the filter media industry. Last year’s event was held at Chicago’s Navy Pier.

Filtration 2016 Highlights

The 25th Anniversary edition of Filtration will feature conference presentations that address issues and developments that are changing the world of filtration. Attendees will hear presentations covering the latest industry intelligence, technical advances, and leading-edge products and applications. INDA expects a repeat of last year’s record- setting turnout. Highlights include:

  • Keynote speaker Alfred Weber, President and CEO of MANN + HUMMEL International GmbH & Co. KG, will speak on Filtration Meets Digitalization.

Other topics of interest presented by industry leaders will include:

  • OSHA’s Final Rule on Silica Dust
  • UL 900 Flammability Standard
  • Indoor Air Quality and Workplace Productivity
  • Filtration Markets to Watch
  • Polycarbonate Spunbond Filter Media
  • Gradient Pre-media Filters
  • Hydraulic Contamination in Helicopters
  • The State of the Nonwoven Filtration Market

The Nonwoven Filter Media Training Course on Nov. 8-9 will once again be co-located with Filtration 2016. The one-and-a-half day training course will cover the principles of filtration to market and technology trends.

BASF’s Competence In Plastic Additives Helps Polymer Products Withstand Harsh Weather Conditions

LUDWIGSHAFEN , Germany — June 30, 2016 — BASF Plastic Additives’ core competence lies in light, thermal and process stabilization, allowing polymer producers and converters maximize plastics properties retention and extension. With Tinuvin® 880 and Tinuvin® XT 55, BASF launches the latest generation of light stabilizers at K 2016, the world’s leading trade fair for plastics and rubber.

Automotive plastic parts are increasingly contributing to lightweighting, aesthetic appeal, comfort as well as providing various functional and structural benefits. Plastic elements and surfaces are expected to maintain their original material appearance and properties over the entire lifetime which is why tailored light stabilization becomes increasingly important to OEMs and formulators.

Novel plastics stabilization for automotive applications: Tinuvin 880 – a new Hindered Amine Light Stabilizer (HALS) BASF offers a new generation of methylated HALS enabling formulators to optimize the long-lasting appearance and performance of various automotive interior parts. Tinuvin 880 provides unmatched intrinsic long-lasting UV resistance as well as a drastically improved thermal stability crucial for interior applications. It is also designed to improve secondary properties by eliminating defects such as mold deposit and surface stickiness, even in scratch-improved materials. As a unique 100% active substance, formulators are given entire freedom to accurately adjust parts performance properties as well as economics.

The main materials used in interior parts are polypropylene, other thermoplastic polyolefins and styrenics blends. They are used to produce instrument panels, door panels, consoles, glove boxes, trims and more. Plastics are gaining popularity in materials used to produce car parts due to their lightweighting advantage, design possibilities, and lower costs. Such plastics, however, are daily stressed by UV light and thermal aging, requiring tailor made stabilization and formulation flexibility.

With these intrinsic outstanding features to provide UV resistance in the long run, Tinuvin 880 is expected to become a leading candidate to improve the stabilization of exterior parts such as bumper, side cladding and rocker panel as well.

Novel plastics stabilization for artificial turfs: Tinuvin XT 55 – less impact of water carryover

Fibers and tapes used for numerous applications such as technical textiles for the construction industry like geo-textiles, roofing insulation, barrier structures as well as carpets, have to withstand harsh climate conditions, including prolonged exposure to UV light, fluctuating and elevated temperature, and environmental pollutants. Fibers and tapes often made of polyolefin obtain their resistance to aging by adding a Hindered Amine Light Stabilizer (HALS).

In addition to the mandatory light and thermal stability requirements, the converters are often faced with challenges of industrial manufacturing. The production of fibers and tapes with processing issues and production halts can lead to capacity reduction or potentially quality inconsistency.

An example is the manufacturing of polyethylene (PE) monofilaments for artificial turfs used to make sport floors or landscaping. The additives and colorants are usually added via a concentrated combi- batch and the filaments may be processed through a water bath. In the latter case, a phenomenon called water carryover is regularly experienced on the line leading to production disruption. To address this issue, BASF introduces Tinuvin XT 55, its latest generation of HALS for the film, fibers and tapes industry. Its primary application is polyethylene monofilaments and tapes. Tinuvin XT 55 is a high- performance light stabilizer that has very low contribution to water carryover enabling the production line to run without disruptions.

Tinuvin XT 55 also provides formulators with superior durability and excellent secondary properties such as color stability, gas fading and extraction resistance. In addition, excellent cost performance can be achieved with this new solution by adjusting dosage and other formulation components. Other applications can be considered, in particular, polyolefin monofilaments and tapes for shade nets, scaffolding, geo-textiles and big bags such as flexible intermediate bulk containers.

BASF works closely with customers on testing formulations prior to production scale-up to further improve the durability of plastic materials and develop innovative and sustainable solutions.

BASF’s light stabilization additives filter harmful UV light and act as free radical scavengers. This helps to avoid polymer degradation, maintain their appearance as well as their chemical and physical properties. For example, they are used in the interior and exterior of cars for protection against long-term exposure to sunlight and heat. In textiles, light stabilization additives are widely used to maintain the tenacity of synthetic fibers when exposed to thermal and UV aging while maintaining other secondary properties such as color retention. Agricultural plastics are another area where light stabilizers play an important role in protecting films from early degradation, due to simultaneous exposure to UV light, thermal stress and agricultural crop treatments.

BASF is a leading supplier of plastic additives with more than 50 years of experience. Its comprehensive and innovative product portfolio includes stabilizers which provide ease in processing, heat and light resistance to a variety of polymers and applications including molded articles, films, fibers, sheets and extruded profiles.

Power And intelligence: Now Total Testing Is A Reality With USTER® TESTER 6

USTER, Switzerland — June 30, 2016 — The new USTER® TESTER 6 has all the accuracy and power spinning mills have come to expect from this renowned laboratory instrument family. But its ability to integrate data from other quality measurement sources creates a true Total Testing Center, analyzing every spinning mill process with practical guidance on both quality and wider mill management issues.

What can be found in virtually every spinning mill laboratory? An evenness tester – most likely made by USTER. Since the launch of the original USTER® GGP in 1948, some 14,500 evenness testers of successive generations have been delivered worldwide. Accurate measurement of the essential yarn parameters has been the key factor putting the USTER® TESTER at the core of quality management over the decades.

At ITMA 2015 in Milan, the latest USTER® TESTER in this highly-successful range was presented for the first time. So, what has changed between the existing USTER® TESTER 5 and the new USTER® TESTER 6? Nothing… and everything!

It could be said that ‘nothing’ has changed, but only in the sense that the USTER® TESTER 6 remains the must-have instrument for testing evenness and imperfections in spinning mill laboratories. In reality, practically everything has changed, starting with the brand-new USTER® Capacitive Sensor (Sensor CS), as well as a new Sensor HL, for Hairiness Length Classification at up to 800 m/min.

And a real breakthrough, in terms of user-friendly protection against quality issues, is the Product Consistency Alert, which flags up potential defects before they arise.

Empowering management

Fundamentally, the new USTER® TESTER 6 makes the leap from traditional laboratory testing to ‘Total Testing’ of every stage in the mill’s yarn production sequence. That means the USTER® TESTER 6 is no longer described merely as an evenness tester – it now qualifies for the title of ‘The Total Testing Center’, giving managements the power to control both quality and productivity across the entire spinning mill.

USTER® QUALITY EXPERT is the key to this whole-mill approach. It is the essential platform for managing a spinning mill with quality in mind, with the intelligence to collate and integrate laboratory test data from the USTER® TESTER, USTER® fiber testing instruments and USTER® online monitoring systems.

To help mills understand and apply the data presented, USTER® TESTER 6 incorporates Assistant Q, a new ‘staff member’ with unrivalled process expertise. Assistant Q analyzes and immediately alerts management to quality issues, possible causes and best remedies. He also evaluates and advises on a yarn’s performance downstream, based on application experience.

USTER® QUALITY EXPERT is also ready for an expanded role, growing its capabilities as the mill extends its range of testing and monitoring equipment. The more USTER® instruments are connected to the USTER® TESTER 6 via USTER® QUALITY EXPERT, the more information can be provided. With each addition, quality risks are minimized towards zero. Today, USTER® AFIS PRO 2, USTER® TENSOJET and USTER® QUANTUM EXPERT 3 can already be connected. The USTER® HVI1000, USTER® TENSORAPID and USTER® SENTINEL will follow, affording mills totally centralized management of all aspects of yarn quality.

Customizable reports and automatic analysis are valuable advantages, but real Total Testing also needs an extra plus point: intelligence. This starts with a system of alerts. The Total Testing Center creates a map of the individual spinning mill processes, and its alert system flags up any issues at each process stage: bale opening, carding, combing, finisher drawing, roving, ring spinning and winding.

The system pinpoints any problem, and analyzes its cause. At this point, Assistant Q comes into play. Loaded with 65 years of USTER know-how, Assistant Q is on call 24-7 to analyze every measurement from offline and online monitoring. For each alert, he proposes practical solutions and advises where and how to fix the problem. Interaction with Assistant Q makes the system even more intelligent, as it learns to recognize the main issues and quickly find the most efficient solution.

Assistant Q: a typical task

During one of Assistant Q’s endless shifts, an alert pops up in the carding section, with a red dot indicating that immediate attention is recommended. A tap on the touchscreen of the USTER® QUALITY EXPERT brings up specific information about the alert. It identifies the product and machine affected in the cardroom, the date and time, and the source of data used in flagging up the irregularity. In this case, the source of the data is the USTER® AFIS PRO 2 and the problem – highlighted in red – is that nep removal efficiency is down to a critical level. Assistant Q is on the case – confirming in the column at the right of the screen that this alarm is quite severe – and offers proposals to eliminate the trouble. The nep removal efficiency report shows decreased efficiency at carding machine No. 20, while the other cards are constant. Following the onscreen proposals from Assistant Q, the customer is quickly able to rectify the fault by changing the damaged licker-in wire on the offending card.

Intelligent analysis makes all the difference

Returning to the original question about what has changed from USTER® TESTER 5 to USTER® TESTER 6, it’s clear that the more accurate answer would be ‘everything’. If the USTER® TESTER 6 was only a laboratory instrument, it would take a whole team of specialists – and a lot more time – to analyze and interpret the mass of data produced by the mill’s testing and monitoring instruments.

The Total Testing Center incorporated in USTER® TESTER 6 has the power to analyze all that data – and the intelligence to make practical use of it. Add in the user-friendly services of Assistant Q and it is clear that USTER® TESTER 6 provides everything needed for successfully managing a spinning mill with quality in mind.

English Fine Cottons Set To Spin

DUKINFIELD, England — June 30, 2016 —English Fine Cottons is set to start spinning and bring cotton yarn production back home to Britain.

The company has installed twenty-first century equipment at its Grade II listed Tower Mill, near Manchester, and is preparing its first batch of high-quality cotton for test production, due to start next month.

When fully operational later this year, English Fine Cottons will be the sole cotton spinner in Britain with the only plant in Europe producing superfine luxury cotton yarn using the very latest technology, from fibre preparation to spinning and winding.

The company is investing £6m in the venture. The first two containers of Supima – extra-long staple cotton from the US’s largest cotton farm in California — have already arrived on site.  And work on the construction of the state-of-the-art spinning equipment is nearing completion.

The 150 foot-long compact ring spinning machines occupy the whole of the third floor of four-storey Tower Mill, which has undergone an extensive programme of restoration and renovation to accommodate the plant.

In a renaissance of the trade that kick-started Britain’s industrial revolution more than 200 years ago, these ultra-modern machines will enable English Fine Cottons to produce 500 tonnes a year of fine combed cotton yarn.  With more spinning frames planned for next year, the ambition is to increase production to 1,000 tonnes by the end of 2017.

English Fine Cottons will source the world’s finest raw cotton – including Sea Island from Barbados, Suvin from India and Giza 45 from Egypt, as well as Supima.

General Manager, Andy Ogden, said: “There is a strong demand across the world for luxury goods with the ‘Made in Britain’ stamp, and our ‘raison d’etre’ is to produce the very finest luxury cotton yarn for UK designers and discerning garment manufacturers. To do so, we are creating a world-class facility that will enable us to deliver superior quality, efficiency and the highest process repeatability.

“Our priority is to give our customers an end-to-end service, by providing the best cotton yarns available and working with them throughout the supply chains, to deliver fabrics of the highest calibre that are steeped in history and provenance.”
