Tires, safety belts, airbags, coated tarpaulin, MRG, conveyor belts – there are countless uses for the industrial yarns produced on Oerlikon Barmag machines. Correspondingly specific are the demands made on the used yarns. Decades of research and a constant dialog with customers ensure that our systems produce the perfect yarn for each and every application. Flexible With its highly-developed components, know-how and proven technology, our industrial yarn machines manufacture extremely fine yarns all the way through to top-quality coarse yarns (heavy denier) and – depending on the yarn fineness – up to twelve ends per winding position. Our industrial yarn systems are available in several machine configurations: - 4 heated godet duos for hightenacity and low-shrinkage yarns at conventional speeds - 5 heated godet duos for high-tenacity and super-low-shrinkage yarns at conventional speeds - 4 heated godet duos for heavy denier yarns of up to 16,000 den per position at conventional speeds - HMLS godet configuration for polyester tire cord yarn at high speed and - 5 heated godet duos with suitable equipment for high-tenacity and HMLS yarn at high speeds.
Efficient Depending on the process, titer and speed, yarn producers manufacture multiple threads per winding position. This is made quite simple by using Oerlikon Barmag’s industrial yarn systems: our flexible spinning plants are able to draw and wind two, three, four, six, eight or twelve threads simultaneously. Under control All process data – from the extruder through to the winder – are displayed via GUIDE, the Windows-based user interface. The GUIDE system permits total process control: product data management, production statistics, reporting – all this is just a fraction of what GUIDE provides to ensure continual optimization of the production process. In the event of more than one production line, we recommend using the Plant Operation Center (POC), which has an interface to all production lines. SSP, air conditioning and other systems (down-stream), for example can also be integrated.

e-save – energy saving and more Think e-save and reduce your production costs! Under this motto Oerlikon Barmag started promoting energy-conscious machines and components in 2005. The combination of high-performance machines and systems, high flexibility and low conversion costs is enabling manufacturers to be successful market players. The focus of e-save is on the reduction of the conversion costs. In 2005, Oerlikon Barmag developed and launched the e-save label, which is awarded to those components whose energy consumption has been significantly reduced compared to standard components available on the market. Demands and inquiries from our customers have encouraged us to systematically further research and develop the approaches we have already taken. Like a stone thrown into a lake, e-save is creating ever more positive repercussions. In addition to energy-efficient components, Oerlikon Barmag offers resource-minimizing solutions in many areas. Energy and environmental costs are also a not inconsiderable factor in IDY production systems. Today, they already cause up to a half of the conversion costs of a spinning plant. All savings in this area benefit the local environment, while energy and resource efficiency are becoming ever more important locational factors on a global level.

IDY solutions – Oerlikon Barmag
There are numerous possibilities for sustainably lowering the consumption of valuable resources. Firstly, there are energyoptimized components, for example Oerlikon Barmag’s SP8x spinning beam, which consumes more than 40% less energy than other more common designs. In an IDY spinning system with 8 positions, this generates an annual saving of approx. US$ 89,000. Reducing the consumption of controlled-processed air is an important objective of a radial quenching system. Such a system consumes 60-80% less air than cross-flow quenching – it is available for the production of HMLS yarns with a high number of filaments. Multi-end filament spinning saves energy However, the utilization of efficient components is only one step on the path to creating smart production processes. Restricting the examination to the spinning system alone does not take important factors into account. Within this context, the multi-end filament capability should definitely be considered as an energy-saving factor. Spinning 12-end IDY using one spinning beam with especially designed spin packs, one quenching unit and one draw panel on 2 winders is therefore considerably more efficient than two 6-end spinning positions. A decisive associated factor that influences the overall energy consumption is the air-conditioning system. Drives, heating systems, components that come into contact with the melt as well as the filaments radiate heat. If this heat radiation is reduced by means of excellent insulation, the air-conditioning system can be small, hence itself using less energy.
Saving potential by multi-end technology 12-end IDY spinning compared to 2 x 6-end spinning
Oerlikon Barmag – with its focus on innovation and technological leadership – provides a variety of machines, components and solutions that stand out through their excellent resource efficiency and thus easily fulfill the requirements defined by the e-save label.

Polyester IDY low denier (LDI), high tenacity (HT) and low shrinkage (LS)
High tenacity yarns are predominantly used in manufacturing sewing threads, billboards, sail cloth, luggage cloth and similar items. Low shrinkage (LS) is a particularly important feature in the processing of tarpaulins. The low shrinkage yarns manufactured using our systems have a shrinkage down to 4%, but nevertheless always remain even. It goes without saying that our system configurations come with low conversion costs and energy-efficient components.

Polyester IDY super low shrinkage (SLS)
For applications for which even shrinkage of approximately 4% is too high, fabric manufacturers draw on super-low shrinkage (SLS) yarns. A challenge for all yarn manufacturers – but there is no reason to be nervous with Oerlikon Barmag at your side. The shrinkage of SLS yarns produced on our systems is less than 2.5% (for X-SLS even less than 1.5%). However, those planning to manufacture SLS yarns need not dispense with the high tenacity properties. Our system configurations permit the flexibility to produce either SLS or high tenacity (HT) yarns with one machine layout. Furthermore, our 12,000 den systems are incredibly flexible: from 6-end to 12-end – with just a few adjustments.

Extrusion equipment
Oerlikon Barmag spinning extruders excel in gentle and homogeneous melt production and are noted for cost effectiveness, reliability, and long service life. 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 homogenizing components have been determined to ensure short dwell times, in order to keep the thermal and mechanical loads of the melt to a minimum – the basis for excellent melt and hence first-class yarn quality. Oerlikon Barmag extruders fulfill the energy saving requirements for e-save. The e-save label is given to systems and components that have energy consumptions significantly lower than standard equivalent systems and components available on the market.
Air-cooled extruder series These are the perfect choice for processing PETP, PA6, PA66, PP and other spinning polymers in all viscosity ranges for all manmade fiber requirements. The additional feature offered for this series is the control cabinet, which is integrated into the extruder frame. This version transforms our well-established model into a compact unit with significantly less wiring. All versions are available with or without a cooling system for the barrel. An injection system introducing master-batches or liquids into the polymer stream at various locations for customized fiber characteristics is also available.
Oerlikon Barmag extruders are characterized by a good barrel insulation resulting in energy savings and a low surface temperature on the barrel jacket. The two-step spur gear guarantees long service life and smooth running. The feed area for inert gas or vacuum is designed to prevent oxidation of the polymer, thus ensuring trouble free spinning. Specially matched screw and barrel materials result in good sliding properties and low wear.

Pumps in a spinning plant
Planetary melt spinning pumps The spinning pump is one of the key components of a spinning system. Even when used over many years of production, all Oerlikon Barmag spinning pumps guarantee consistent yarn quality, the most important factor in successful yarn production. The special advantages of Oerlikon Barmag’s planetary gear spinning pumps include: - optimal melt flow due to rheologically advantageous melt channels; - melt channels with optimised surfaces, ensuring superior flow conditions; - high-precision manufacturing methods, allowing for excellent running performance and stable melt exchange; - specially designed relief grooves in the melt outlet area of the gears, for minimized compression forces and operation with few fluctuations in the flow. Together, these advantages translate into the uniformity of the melt streams. Rectangular melt spinning pumps are available on request. Planetary spin-finish pumps The more even the application of the spin-finish liquid to the yarn, the better the yarn quality. A trailblazing design now sets considerably higher standards in terms of feeding accuracy, reliability and durability. The Oerlikon Barmag spin-finish pump concept is based on the old proven planetary gear pump principle with a centrally driven sun gear and four planetary gears. The balanced force ratio within the pump and the constructively influenced low bearing load guarantee low frictional wear. In addition to its small size with flow paths of equal length, one major benefit is the large number of possible outlets per pump, whereby the maximum number of outlets is 40. Hence, for a spinning plant with a take-up unit for 20 threads, a spin finish pump would suffice for a double spin finish system (oiling system).
30
IDY solutions – Oerlikon Barmag
PROFIN Feed accuracy, operating stability, and service life of the equipment are the fundamental properties of our spin-finish pumps. As far as the PROFIN series is concerned, excellent feeding accuracy, optimum internal flow conditions and the self-venting effect which prevents the agglomeration of airbubbles represents preconditions for a precise and uniform oil-application on a high quality standard. Mixing and metering in polymer processing Extremely high metering accuracy and mixing performance ensure that your products are top quality. There is a series of systems available for the various feeding and mixing tasks, optimally designed to fulfill the requirements of flexible production. Colour and additive injection is primarily used with textile filaments. Nevertheless, for producers interested in mixing and metering injection systems are available on request.

Spinning head series
The quality of the thread is determined during spinning. The spinning components used provide your yarn with its ultimate qualities. Therefore, they are particularly close to the hearts of our engineers. The manifold in an Oerlikon Barmag spinning line is specially optimized regarding melt residence time, drop in viscosity and shear rate. It is characterized by: - flow-favorable melt distribution for excellent yarn uniformity along the spinning line; - high surface quality of the pipes ensures favorable melt flow behavior for superior quality right from the first day of production; - absolute dead-spot free design is a precondition for low break levels and high yields; - the overall distribution system is virtually maintenancefree. Oerlikon Barmag’s spinning head series covers the processes for textile and industrial yarns as well as home textiles. In all cases the spinning head steam heating ensures excellent temperature uniformity.
e-save with SP8x The Oerlikon Barmag SP8x spinning head concept unites the advantages of high-end melt quality. The design of the spinning head has considerably reduced the heat-radiating surface and simultaneously significantly improved the insulation. This has resulted in a more than 40% reduction in the heat-radiation in comparison to the SP5x system. In trials, this has revealed, for example, energy savings of more than 200,000 kWh/year for a 36-position system. The SP8x spinning head ensures economic spinning processes with high product quality through its very even melt guidance system with optimized residence time. Furthermore, the shroud – which can be specifically adapted to the respective product on request – ensures an extremely high level of flexibility. The shroud is part of the dowtherm-heated spinning head and guarantees extremely high temperature evenness without the additional energy requirements of an electrically-heated concept. Needless to say, the well-known self-sealing Oerlikon Barmag spin packs can also be used for this system. The rheologically-optimized melt distribution and uniform heating ensures that the good melt quality in the spinning head is also continued within the spin pack.

Spin packs
All polymers place different demands on spin packs. The broad Oerlikon Barmag portfolio contains the suitable type for each and every raw material, optimized in terms of their rheological features of the melt-liquid polymers. Our range of spin packs caters perfectly to the product diversity of industrial yarns. Quick and easy retooling makes them compatible amongst each other. The filter media are predominantly metal fabrics and filter sands (quartz sands, metal powders, ceramic powders). Oerlikon Barmag spin packs are available with diameters of 135, 145, 165, 172 or 260 mm. Filter fabrics made from metal 3LA The metal fabric, commonly known as 3LA filter and which has meanwhile established itself on a global scale, is one of the most important IDY spin pack innovations. Its excellent properties - up to 5 times larger filter area compared to standard sand pack; - reusable filter candles; - longer life time; - almost constant pack pressure over operation time;
- outstanding evenness of polymer flow without dead spots; - easy handling ensuring constant process behavior and avoiding improper assembly; - identical filtration conditions from position to position; - reduced operating costs and yarn breaks; - exchangability with standard sand packs; - ideal for the hydraulic split technology clearly underline the superiority of the 3LA spin pack. For this reason, the 3LA spin pack is also standard in polyester and polyamide 6 spinning systems in Oerlikon Barmag plants.
Filter sands An alternative is, of course, the well-established filter methods using sand-like aggregates. Catering to the special features of PA6.6 when subjected to heat requires the use of quartz sands, metal powders or ceramic powders. Needless to say, these filter media with the Oerlikon Barmag packaging system are also suitable for other materials such as polyester, polyamide 6 and polypropylene, to name but a few.

Quenching systems
The main task of the quenching system within the context of complex spinning processes is the even quenching of the liquid filaments at the exit of the spinneret. Our quenching systems supply a uniform, turbulence-free airflow for achieving excellent yarn uniformity. During the quenching process, each filament bundle is supplied with the same amount of cooling air, hence ensuring defined crystallization and orientation of the molecular polymer structure as the basis for the optimal physical properties, elongation and dyeability. For this reason, the quenching process has a decisive influence in achieving excellent yarn qualities in the synthetic filament manufacturing process. Moreover, all current processes are covered by this system, e.g. PET, PA 6, PA6.6 and others.

Crossflow quenching system The crossflow quenching system excels in terms of its extremely uniform flow profile for even filament quality and thus highest evenness and performance. User-friendliness, in addition to the quality, is a further important criterion in the design of our systems and is also guaranteed in the case of Oerlikon Barmag’s industrial yarn systems: the crossflow quenching is characterized by simple maintenance and remarkably easy access to the spinning heads.
Radial quenching system The efficiency of the system is high, even with large throughput volumes. Due to the uniform physical properties of the individual filaments, this is the quenching principle to achieve outstanding yarn quality. For HMLS processes with a high number of filaments the radial quenching system is an option. Its major advantage in terms of preserving natural resources is the extremely low air consumption.

IDY solutions – Oerlikon Barmag
High productivity and competitiveness are ensured thanks to the following basic requirements: - robust design; - achievable process speeds; - low operating cost; - reduced maintenance times; - the suitable godets for all manmade fiber processes.
requirements for the e-save label. The energy savings are, independent of the increasing number of yarn ends per position, more than 1 kW per godet. Lower energy consumption also reduces investment in a large-scale A/C system, power distribution units, etc. The power management ensures that the individual take-up positions are not required to provide maximum output.
HF godets To fulfill the special demands made on godets in industrial yarn spinning processes – significant drawing and shrinkage forces plus utmost uniform temperature profiles – our godets have been optimized both for conventional industrial yarn processes and HMLS processes. The HF godet speeds range from 350 – 7,000 m/min. High-speed bearings with long service lives, using the Barolub lubrication system, and low power consumption tailored to the latest industrial yarn processes up to 16 ends with a denier range of up to 16,000 den per position, are further benefits.
Digital control for user-guided operation All godet families are integrated in an interconnected control and drive system. The asynchronous motors are individually speed controlled by digital frequency inverters with heated HF godets. The temperature control of the multi-zone heaters is also operated digitally. This guarantees an extremely easy, time-saving menu-controlled operation.
Our systems support the following industrial yarn processes: - HT (high tenacity); - SHT (super high tenacity); - LS (low shrinkage); - SLS and X-SLS (super-low shrinkage); - HMLS and Flex (high modulus, low shrinkage); - HT (heavy denier up to 16,000 den per position). Lower energy consumption Compared to other godet heating concepts, the HF principal has 20% less power consumption than, for example, 50Hz heat pipe systems. The HF godet family thus easily fulfills the
Economic maintenance Extended maintenance cycles result in higher machine efficiency and increased productivity for the customer. Of special benefit are the easy machine assembly/disassembly with the aid of flange mountings, plug-in connections, as well as a decrease of individual parts by 50%. This results in a significant reduction in maintenance costs. Dependable quality at high output rates Stable operation, even at highest process speeds, is guaranteed by a fail-safe design principle and components that are uncompromising with regard to safety. This includes solid steel shells with no built-in parts as well as the drive motor and speed monitoring.

ACW
Suitable for all fiber applications – whether POY, FDY, HOY or industrial yarn – our winders offer a high level of flexibility and profitability. Their wide operation window makes them a reasonable investment. The ACW winder makes it possible – with two winders – to wind up to 2 x 8 ends per position. Depending on the necessary package weight, the ACW winder series is suitable for manufacturing in the small, medium and high denier ranges, which are required for industrial yarns. To increase machine productivity, also for the small and medium denier ranges, the machine can be set up for simultaneous manufacturing of 16 ends. Yarn quality Packages wound using the ACW are of better quality. The full package protection feature ensures lint-free packages. An improved take-off in further processing is guaranteed as a result of the possibility of varying the contact pressure along the entire length of the package.

The hybrid bearing is designed for lifetime lubrication. Dispensing with oil mist lubrication ensures a more pleasant working environment for the operator: soiling of the machine, the yarn and the package are kept to a minimum. A sensor-controlled transfer tail device guarantees 100% uniformity for the transfer and the end locator bunch. As a result of the electrically driven bailor rolls, the shape of the packages can be influenced, hence enabling a qualitatively specified further processing.
Efficient operating The extended parking time allows more relaxed doffing, as the time window in which doffing has to be carried out has been considerably expanded. And the designers have also taken the operator into consideration in the development of the new ACW: the noise level has been significantly reduced with the BIROTOR / multi stroke traverse motion unit (MST). The service interface, positioned on the front of the winder, has noticeably increased the maintenance-friendliness for service staff. The semi-automatic string-up device simplifies the string-up process for the operator, hence improving efficiency.
Cost advantages Electrical chuck brakes offer yarn manufacturers various advantages: reduced energy consumption and non-wear – and hence maintenance-free – brakes. Soiling of the final products caused by brake dust is now a thing of the past.
Design Smooth surfaces and the carefully considered layout of the components ensure that the ACW is a maintenance-friendly, easy-to-clean unit. The positioning of the electronic control unit – conceived as a plug-in component – makes the ACW approx. 25% shorter than other standard winders. Furthermore, the position of the control unit means the ACW does not require air-conditioning behind the take-up head.

ASW
With the groove roller to the perfect package – the fully automatic ASW winder is an alternative for industrial yarn and tire cord. Especially for airbag yarn the ASW is the first choice. These winders are characterized, thanks to their groove roller traverse system, by an excellent package build. Yarn tensions arising between the spinning nozzle and the winder are well balanced by the groove roller. There is a total of three different chuck lengths of 600 mm, 920 mm and 1,200 mm available for the ASW. The maximum speed of the ASW winders is currently 5,000 m/min. The threads are treated very gently by means of a special chuck movement during the change process. This makes it possible to use the winder even for very sensitive yarns.
