International Organisation for Standardisation's (ISO) endeavour to formulate the specification on Rectangular Sliver Cans started earnestly since the beginning of 21st century. Spin Can Manufacturing Company (Formerly: Alcan Manufacturing Company) was represented on the committee of ISO/TC 72/SCI/WGII N 003 standard. Integrated Draw Frame Machine as developed by the renowned textile machinery maker Trutzschler GmbH & Co KG, Germany, specialist from bale to sliver processing method and machines is the result of immense R&D, with the intention to rescue the process time and speed up the production over the age-old method of filling the sliver in round cans.

The concept of reducing the cards radial diameter of slivers as designed by Trutzschler in their IDF-R machine has the following advantages towards cutting-down the units process:
1. It is compact in design, not larger than a Can-changer.
2.Rectangular Cans are filled with higher speed and more bulk weight and occupy volume capacity faster in comparison to a Round Can with same bulk density filling.
3. Three-over-three drafting system with sort-term leveling and top-roll loading.
4. Can changing without standstill of Card and collection in Can magazine.

Total drive system in digitally controlled and is maintenance-free, and many more CNC applied, such as speed adjustment to card. The introduction of this IDR_R machine of Trutzschler saves and effects:
a) Process Cuttin
b) Lower number of labour required
c) Reduces space requirement
d) Quality improvement.

Sliver Can for IDF-R need to be rectangular in shape and geometry to make it suitable for placement underneath the top-loading system. The upward and downward movements are digitally controlled.

Spin Can together with R&D Department of Trutzschler GmbH & Co KG, Germany developed the precision Rectangular Cans with many research on material construction, design for maintenance-free performance. These Rectangular Cans are in use as an integral component of IDF-R machines manufactured by Spin Can.
