Every
spinning mill around the world faces the twin challenges of high energy
consumption and a shortage of skilled labor. The only way to stay competitive
is automation. This is where Novibra’s clamping and cutting crown CROCOdoff
comes in, that enables underwinding-free doffing. It reduces cleaning and
maintenance time and contributes to reduction of energy consumption and number
of after-doff ends down. It is no surprise that six million spindles equipped
with CROCOdoffs are in use globally, in different machines, for different yarns
and raw materials.
Spindles
with traditional underwinding system demand a lot of time to clean the yarn
catching area and fix the high ends down rate after doffing. But rising wages
and labor shortages are increasingly putting spinning mills under pressure as
fewer people are available for cleaning and maintenance of spinning machines.
The shortage in labor can mean that the yarn catching area is not cleaned for
hours and yarn production cannot resume, resulting in significant production
loss and lower yarn quality. That is why spinning mills opt for more
automation, upgrading their machines with auto-doffers and spindles with
underwinding free crowns that require fewer operators and less maintenance.
