Spinning

n the best ring yarn ever spun

n with considerably reducedhairiness, hence numerousadvantages in the down-stream processes

n better fiber utilization, hencehigher yarn resistance andelongation resulting inhigher work capacity

n spinable at lower twist thanconventional ring yarn,hence softer

EliTe®Spinning System ...

n designed for both short andlong staple fibers

n incorporates the provenSUESSEN drafting assembly(short clamping distancewithin the main draft zone,minimized number of floatingfibers)

n suitable for all types of fibersused on conventional ringframes

n spins yarns in a count rangefrom Ne 5 to Ne 150

126

Condensing unitof EliTe

®Spinning System ...

n separate and self-contained assemblylocated just after thedrafting system

n easy fitting and remo-val, hence simple ins-pection and mainte-nance

n constant negativepressure in the con-densing zone at eachspinning position

127

Fiber transport withMini-Perforated Lattice Apron ...n lattice apron with mini-

perforations preventingfibers to be pulled through

n condensing right up to theclamping line of the deliveryroller

n lattice apron slightly fasterthan the fiber delivery, hencefibers remain straight tilltwist insertion takes place

128

Suction tube with inclined slots ...

n air drawn through inclined slots in the suction tube generatesa rotation of the fibers around their own axis

n hence, better incorporation of all fibers in the yarn. That isparticularly favorable when spinning short fibers

Comparison of Knitting FabricsConventional Yarn versus EliTe®Yarn...

Conventional Knitting Fabric EliTe® Knitting Fabric

n much clearer loop structure with less loop cross-infringingfibers in the EliTe

® knitting fabric

133

Comparison of Weaving FabricsConventional Yarn versus EliTe®Yarn...

Conventional Weaving Fabric EliTe® Weaving Fabric

n clearer weaving structure with well-defined contoursn higher breaking and tearing strengthn lower pilling tendency and better abrasion resistance

134

Advantages of EliTe®Yarns ...

n spinable with short or long staplefibers

n higher strength and elongationn single EliTe

®yarns compare with

conventional two-ply yarnsn carded EliTe

®yarns match conven-

tional combed yarns in strengthn extremely reduced hairinessn significantly reduced IPI and ends-

downn substantial savings in sizing and

singeingn no waxing while knittingn fabrics made of EliTe

®yarns have a

softer hand
