VORTEX 861 vortex spinning machine, 16 spindles
Vortex fabric has attracted a lot of attention from all over the world. It is already widely acknowledged that textile products made with vortex yarn possess excellent functionalities including pilling resistance and crispness. Leading apparel manufacturers and spinning companies in Europe, Japan, Korea and Latin America are currently working together to use vortex yarn to develop differentiated products in order to open up new markets and improve their brand strength.

There is only one spinning machine in the world capable of producing vortex yarn, and that is the Muratec VORTEX 861 spinning machine. In addition to its unique spinning mechanism, it comes equipped with a clearer, splicer and AD, and is capable of spinning a wide variety of fibres, including cotton, polyester, blended cotton/polyester or regenerated cellulosic fibres, directly from sliver to packaging, thus creating high value-added vortex yarn. Three processes—roving, fine spinning and winding—are provided by a single unit, yet thanks to its unrivalled maximum spinning speed of 450 m/minute, the VORTEX 861 also provides superior productivity, energy and space savings, ease of quality assurance and production management.

Vortex products and spinning machinery meet the textile industry’s trend towards high added value. At this exhibition, we will be demonstrating the vortex spinning machine using regenerated cellulosic fibres, whose functionality has attracted particular interest in recent years. Muratec will also be demonstrating a polyester 65/cotton 35 yarn and displaying vortex products sold around the world.

2) Polyester 65%/cotton 35%, Ne40, 4 degrees, 20 minutes.

1) Vortex spinning: With a maximum spinning speed of 450 m/minute, the VORTEX 861 is 20 times faster than ring spinning machines and three times faster than OE spinning—an overwhelming speed advantage in spinning speed.

2) Quality assurance: Constant quality assurance is provided by a digital clearer (MSC) which monitors a wide range of data, combined with the large, easy-to-see liquid crystal display of the data management system (VOS).

Automatic winder No: 21C PROCESS CONER Magazine Type, 12 spindles

Since its debut in 2001, "No: 21C" has become the top brand of automatic winders, with a total shipment of over 4,00,000 units all over the world. This high support rate, above all, proves the high versatility of No: 21C. In this exhibition, it plans to demonstrate the winding of five types of yarn, from medium-count regular yarn to fine-count compact yarn, as well as soft-wound and Eli-Twist yarn. Muratec hopes that visitors will have a chance to see for themselves the flexibility and versatility of its No: 21C, which is in response to consumer tastes that are becoming increasingly varied and demanding increased added value.

--at the Lakshmi Machine Works booth, to be demonstrated in combination with the LR63/AXL (Hall-3 Booth A107)

Muratec’s link coner is a tray-to-tray system that eliminates the need to replace spinning bobbins, allowing the spinning machine to directly supply the winder. Within the field of directly-linked spinning frames and winders, Muratec’s link coner is particularly noted for its ability to improve product quality and productivity. In this exhibition, India’s number one spinning frame manufacturer, Lakshmi Machine Works, will display the link coner operating in combination with their latest spinning frame, the LR63/AXL.

1) Improved product quality: Muratec’s unique tray-to-tray system eliminates the danger of damaging the yarn supplied during transportation or handling. It also reduces the risk of mixed yarn counts.

2) Space and manpower savings: Compared to separate spinning frame and winding machine combinations, No: 21C provides a 30% savings in floor space. Manual transportation and handling is completely unnecessary, thereby requiring less manpower to operate.

3) Lower operating costs: No: 21C requires fewer peripheral accessories, such as plastic tubing, bobbin boxes and transporter vehicles.

4) Flexibility: It is a simple operation to change the yarn type on a single spinning frame, making it easier to create manufacturing schedules and manage processes.
