VarioFil Plug and Profit
VarioFil – Plug and Profit
The concept of the Oerlikon Barmag VarioFil compact spinning line has been designed for the greatest level of flexibility.
VarioFil is a stand-alone system for which all auxiliary units required for operation are integrated within the system. Hence, VarioFil is the ideal production tool for those yarn manufacturers who – in addition to large orders – have to cope with a broad range of products in small lots and be able to react quickly to a dynamic market. With VarioFil, market changes do not automatically equate to investing in a new machine, but simply purchasing a customized retooling package. For this reason, you will always be able to utilize an optimal VarioFil concept for the latest products – and all at minimal cost. The entire facility and its key components meet the e-save standard: With an energy consumption at least 20% lower than that of common commercial equipment, VarioFil proves a sound investment in the future.

Flexibility The VarioFil modular system is structured in such a way as to allow each respective process-decisive component to be positioned to always ensure optimal machine configuration for the desired product. Hence, this system permits: - The production of various yarn types (POY, FDY, and FDY HT) through to DTY in conjunction with a Oerlikon Barmag texturing machine; - The processing of different polymers, such as PP, PET, PA, and similar; - The production of bi-component and microfilament yarns; - Fast product and dye change; - The simultaneous production of different products; - A broad overall and filament titer range.
Quality The – at all times – first-class yarn quality is achieved with optimal machine configuration and the utilization of top-quality Oerlikon Barmag components. Only Oerlikon Barmag standard components are used for the VarioFil compact spinning line, which have proven themselves over many years in conventional large-scale systems and whose designs have been uncompromisingly geared towards each respective process. Operating costs In addition to the yarn quality, achieving the lowest possible operating costs is decisive for successful yarn production. This fundamental principle was the guideline in the conception of this compact spinning line, for which the following objectives were achieved: - Simple 1-man operation; - High production speeds with large mechanical reserves (up to 6,000 m/min); - High production safety; - Simple retooling possibilities; - Lower maintenance costs; - Energy management; - Considerably lower energy costs; - Waste management. Downstream process The downstream process can be implemented using the entire range of Oerlikon Barmag texturing and air-texturing equipment. Whether MPS, COCOON, AFK, FK6 or CATY – yarns spun on VarioFil can be textured on any system. The textured yarns are twisted on appropriate Oerlikon Saurer machines.

Extruder The utilization of top-quality, low-wear materials – in particular for the extruder cylinders and the extruder screw – ensure long-term, error-free operation. The screw geometries with special mixing components have been determined to ensure short dwell times, in order to keep the thermal and mechanical load of the melt to a minimum. This ensures excellent melt and hence first-class yarn quality. Spinning VarioFil is equipped with SP70 series spinning heads, which also permit processing of critical materials. The melt-guiding parts of the spinning head can be cleaned with the utmost of ease. The spinning head steam heating ensures excellent temperature uniformity.

Spin Pack The spin packs are characterized by outstanding flow condition and excellent temperature distribution, reflected in the machine’s shortest possible dye change times. The proven “self-sealing” and “bottomloading” principle has been retained to ensure simple, fast and error-free installation. Spinning Pump VarioFil is equipped with the proven Oerlikon Barmag planetary gear pumps for precise metering of each individual thread. These pumps achieve very high titer uniformity from thread to thread.
Quenching Unit The quenching system – extremely easy to clean – supplies an even, turbulence-free airflow for achieving excellent uster values. The airflow speed can be set using an electric drive unit. Godet The induction-heated HF series godets have also been taken from the proven large-scale Oerlikon Barmag spinning systems. The electronics – especially developed for this system by Oerlikon Barmag – ensure the greatest degree of speed accuracy over the entire speed range. The high-frequency heaters permit even temperature characteristics across the entire working length for optimal yarn heat treatment.
ACW Winder With regards to winders, there are several models available from the fully automatic ACW series with low-wear and yarn-protecting bi-rotor traverse system, such as the layout for 6 threads with a stroke (package width) of 170 mm each or the layout for 3 threads with a stroke (package width) of 250 mm. Furthermore, ASW series take-up units with grooved roller and camshaft are used.
Control system VarioFil is – as standard – equipped with the Oerlikon Barmag computer control system “Guide”, which excels in terms of its particularly pleasant graphic interface. Entry and display of all process parameters is carried out on a central unit. All parameters are continually entered and displayed in the form of trend diagrams. Furthermore, a remote diagnosis system with a direct connection to the Oerlikon Barmag customer service unit has been integrated into the spinning line, and can be activated upon request.
