    ROTORCRAFT’s futuristic solution

    The Rotorcraft presented a revolutionary new ring spinning frame. Named Next Generation Spinning (NGS®), this frame meets all the requirements of a 21st century mill. In order to avoid any human and operating errors that are common with ring frames today, the NGS® frame has no setting screws whatsoever.

    The setting of the drafting systems is achieved by the use of exchangeable elements in different colours. The distance between the drafting system and the spinning ring remains constant during the entire operation. Bottom aprons are replaceable individually while the frame is running. A low-pressure channel is built in between the working elements of both sides of the frame, rather than above the frame. The channel is large enough to fit the suction tubes as well as the low-pressure elements for pneumatic compact spinning. The two sides of the frame can work completely independently, and all bearings of the working elements are sealed for life.

    A large international audience visited the Rotorcraft booth, the common overwhelming feedback from technical experts and mill owners sounds like: “We have seen the future of ring spinning”, “NGS is the game changer for the next decade.”

    The next generation of Compact Spinning Systems named Green Compact (pat.pend.) was also on display. The system attains the yarn quality improvements introduced by the first generation of compacting systems, while saving $6-8 in energy cost per spindle per year. It therefore performs considerably more economically and sustainably compared to old generation compacting systems.

    ROTORCRAFT launches Next Generation Spinning

    Rotorcraft stands for Swiss Innovations in spinning technology. At ITMA Asia 2016, Rotorocraft displayed new developments, which embody the operating principles of all of its products: efficiency, simplicity and sustainability. For the first time world wide, a revolutionary ring spinning frame was introduced: Next Generation Spinning (NGS®). This frame meets all the requirements of a 21st century mill. Its’ features and benefits are, among others:

    • To avoid setting errors of any kind, all setting screws are omitted
    • Setting of the drafting systems is achieved by the use of exchangeable elements in different colours
    • The distance between the drafting system and the spinning ring remains constant
    • Bottom aprons are replaceable individually while the frame is running
    • The two sides of the frame work independently
    • All bearings of the working elements are sealed for life
    • Ring frames with 2,000 spindles without the use of an additional drive for bottom rollers at the midpoint of the frame become possible

    The next generation of Compact Spinning Systems – Green Compact® – attains the yarn quality improvements introduced by the first generation of compacting systems, while saving 6-8 kWh of energy per spindle per year. It performs considerably more economically and sustainably compared to old generation compacting systems. The new top arm RT3® has been optimised in its design and performance. It offers spinning mills the benefit of eliminating all possible sources of operating errors. This is achieved by adjusting settings in defined steps using saddle inserts of different colour, literally in a few seconds.
