The machine records all events and interventions, including alerts, in a machine event report. The new software for the R 66 rotor spinning machine makes the daily work for the operators and the managers easier.

PLA staple fibres are a possible alternative as a substitution of existing synthetic fibre products. The replacement of oil-based polymers by bio-based alternatives is a topic that is regarded with high priority in textile innovation programmes, aver Vadim Tenner, Marie-Isabel Popzyk, Yves-Simon Gloy, Raf Van Olmen and Thomas Gries.

Rotor spinning has a great potential to reduce the twist factor, which is the basic prerequisite for the production of knitted fabric with a soft touch; by support of a new spin box generation and its components, explains Nitin T Patil, Prof Dr SP Borkar, Dr Stephan Weidner-Bohnenberger and Marc Schnell.

Splice Strength Tester is an instrument, which determines the splicing strength of the yarn at the time of spinning. Splice strength (single/double) yarn tester (Schlafhorst type)/(breaking strength tester) is mechanical type with maximum pointer with suitable carrying case and operating manual.

Most of the weavers today are aware of the factors influencing the breakage rate, although the relative importance contributing to these factors is not generally understood, opine PV Kadole, Manjunath Burji and MM Makandar. The grey yarn as obtained from the spinning process has to undergo various processes such as winding, warping, sizing and weaving before it is converted into fabric.

Filtration processes are usually categorised as dry filtration (air/gas filtration) and wet filtration (liquid filtration), say Dr Senthilkumar P and Punitha V. Filtration is the process of separating one material which is dispersed in other material using porous structure. The porous structure is obtained using textile fabric of woven, knitted or nonwoven. Among these various structure fabric, nonwoven fabric plays major role in filtration in spite of their wide range of thickness and porosity and pore size distribution.

obe Steel Ltd announces that it has established a subsidiary company in India called Kobelco Compressors India Pvt Ltd (KCIN). KCIN has begun full-scale marketing of standard air compressors very recently. Kobe Steel’s standard compressor business has large market shares in Japan and ASEAN countries.
