FDY spinning solutions Our customers’ productivity goals and market needs motivate our solutions. We provide the spinning machine that is just right for the specific market requirements for the production of high-quality FDY yarns made from PET, PA 6, PA 6.6, PP and others.

Low yarn deflection angles starting in spinning and further down at the take-up position result in a better yarn quality. Fewer yarn breaks mean a very efficient production, especially for multi-end spinning with more than 12 ends.

Highly efficient FDY production with i-QOON Efficiency for yarn manufacturers is decisive in securing profit margins, particularly in the case of commodity yarns. Daily outputs of up to 600 tons require mature solutions – which ensure that a high performance does not come at the cost of quality. Correspondingly in demand are systems with multi-filament spinning and take-up plants, particularly in polyester FDY production. You will be perfectly prepared for this with our FDY systems, which produce up to 24 thread lines on a single spinning position. The core of these systems is the i-QOON twin winder, which offers an operation speed of up to 5,500 m/minute.

Our machine layout ensures the lowest conversion cost per produced ton of yarn. The simple operation, low waste ratios and low energy costs underline the performance and efficiency of our FDY solutions.

Conventional spinning with ACW Different materials require different technologies. To this end, polyamide can currently only be manufactured using conventional spinning systems.

And the Oerlikon Barmag program offers proven components for this.

FDY solutions – Oerlikon Barmag

For the FDY process, the ACW is available as a 6, 8, 10 or 12-end winder. In addition to high winding speeds, the top-quality packages offer yarn manufacturers decisive profit margins.

High count yarn and microfilament yarn The production of high count (>100 filaments) yarn has special requirements for the spinning and take-up area. We support you with a wide range of spinning and quench systems applicable to different types of high count yarns. All components from spinning down to the winder are chosen to assure excellent yarn qualities.

Control concept Generally, the drive concept of our FDY lines consists of individual inverters, which increase the system’s flexibility.

The systematically applied “plug and work” design concept creates the ideal prerequisites for fast system installation and commissioning.

The kinetic buffering system perfectly protects the system against short-term power outages. Yarn cuts, and hence unnecessary yarn waste, are avoided.

The Profibus standard ensures that the FDY spinning system is universally expandable. The electrical design ensures electromagnetic compatibility.

Energy efficient components Future-oriented technologies are energy-efficient. Our systems have been designed in accordance with this. e-save-certified components – such as our HF-technology godets – help you to maximize profits. The Central DC bus ensures an improved energy balance within the system and hence helps save on electricity costs.

POC (Plant Operation Center) Simple, user-friendly operation via the graphic interface of a PC display screen makes formulation management and data input of line and production parameters easier. A log function significantly simplifies service to the machine. Appropriate automation concepts - from process control to full bobbin and data tracking are available within the complete FDY product program.

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 FDY production systems. Today, they already cause up to 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.

FDY 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 a FDY spinning system with 144 positions, this generates an annual saving of approx. U$ 90,000.

Reducing the consumption of process air is an important objective of the EvoQuench. Radial quenching consumes 60-80% less air than cross-flow quenching – and can be used for manufacturing microfilaments and commodity yarns of up to 1.5 dpf (FDY).

Multi-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-filament capability should definitely be considered an energy-saving factor. Spinning 24 end FDY using a spinning beam with DIO spin packs and a quenching unit serving 24 threadlines is therefore considerably more efficient than two 12-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.

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 10 to 12 ends

Flexible with a wide working window: this is the motto of our 10- to 12-thread lines systems for manufacturing polyester FDY. Microfilament yarns, trilobal products, spun-dyed filaments, high titers and particularly high package weights – the systems fulfill all these demands.

All process-influencing system components, such as the spin-finish system, the migration nozzle, godet surfaces and the tangling unit, are precisely geared to each other, hence guaranteeing the very best yarn quality.

The machines are equipped with the proven ACW winder.

Downstream processing companies favor ACW packages particularly because of their excellent take-off performance.

Many of the units used come with the e-save certificate.

This means that these components are characterized by particularly low energy consumption. The SP8x spinning head stands out here with its improved thermal insulation.

The HF godet heater focuses the heating energy on the godet jacket as this is the only part that needs to be heated.

Polyamide 6 and 6.6

Polyamide yarns and the fabrics manufactured using them stand out as a result of numerous excellent properties. Deep dyeing at low temperature, a soft and pleasant fabric handle and also elasticity (high elastic recovery) are just a few of these properties.

Particularly the high elasticity places huge demands on the system configuration: using a fifth godet positioned upstream to the winder achieves a considerably better package build vis-Ă -vis conventional systems. This is especially beneficial when manufacturing microfilament yarns and exceptionally fine titers.

Needless to say, the polyamide flat yarn systems also draw on units that have proven themselves in the polyester production process, such as HF6 godets and ACW winders.

Therefore, the system offers a broad titer range, simple handling, reliable components and excellent yarn quality.

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.

Oerlikon Barmag extruders are chracterised 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.

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. An output ranging from 3 kg/hr to 1,500 kg/hr is possible. This extruder version includes a fine-graduated program with screw diameters from 30 to 250 mm, and screw lengths of 30 L/D or 24 L/D. Further, the specifically-cooled barrel sections expand the production window.

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.

Pumps in a spinning plant

Booster pumps Booster pumps build up the pressure which is required by the system – with a high degree of flexibility and reliability.

Booster pumps in polymerization or polycondensation plants, also known as transfer pumps, receive the necessary supply pressure from the discharge pump. These are used to provide the necessary pressure for the downstream consumer units. These consumer units include spin pumps, flat nozzles, perforated plates for granulation, etc. Frequently, the conditions within the system can also change, for example, through standstill of the downstream units. These demand flexibility; depending on the application even negative differential pressures can occur. Oerlikon Barmag booster pumps solve these tasks thanks to the universally applicable design of the bearing lubrication system.

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.

22

FDY solutions – Oerlikon Barmag

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 planetary concept is based on the proven planetary gear pump principle with a centrally driven sun gear and four planetary gears in each level. With four outlets per level this design is very space saving.

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, only one spin finish pump would suffice for a double spin finish system. This series is designed for use with all commercially available types of spin-finish, from high down to low oil concentration.

PROFIN Feed accuracy, operating stability, and servics 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 systems

More than 90% of the world’s textile polyester and nylon filaments are spun in raw white. Dying the yarns or textiles takes place later in the form of package or piece dyeing despite the fact that these processes are in many respects inefficient.

The energy requirements for heating the dye bath and subsequent drying of the dye product – in the case of package dyeing, we must also consider the rewinding – are high. The high consumption of water and chemicals and the associated volume of contaminated waste water have a negative impact on the environment. Furthermore, the dyeing process is time-intensive. e-save with spin-dyeing An alternative is the spin-dyeing of textile and industrial yarns. As the masterbatch is directly added and mixed into to the polymer melt, no further process steps are required in the dye plant. The spin-dyeing requires only a fraction of the energy, the water, the processing time and the space needed for conventional dyeing processes.

Powered 3DD mixer One or more additive flows can be added to the main melt flow upstream to the mixer. The constant changing of the rotor/stator groove allocation creates a dynamic 3-dimensional flow that includes both a longitudinal, dispersive and distributive mixing result.

Additives and dyes for plastics are becoming an increasingly important part of the manufacturing process. The properties of the polymers can be extensively modified as a result of additives. The option of directly introducing these additives during the manufacturing process (e.g. fibers or films) provides a high degree of flexibility and increased efficiency.

The dynamic, three-dimensional mixing principle has proven to be an excellent choice when feeding additives, dyes, stabilizers and other polymers. Pumps for liquid additives or compact combination of injection extruders with gear pumps are used for feeding. The systems can be integrated in various areas of the melt system.

Feed options Additives can be fed into the polymer at various points. The appropriate point must be determined, taking flexibility and costs for each process individually into consideration.

Feed extruder with metering pumps These components are required whenever master batch melts need to be metered into the main melt flow under high pressure. Throughput volumes from 3 kg/h can be metered.

Inject AC - metering system for liquid additives This system was developed for feeding liquid dyes and additives into plastic granulate (unpressurized) or polymer melt (pressurized). One metering pump is used for unpressurized feeding.

3DD mixer as an extruder extension This mixing unit is attached to Oerlikon Barmag extruders as a screw and cylinder extension. The master batches to be added are either fed via the extruder hopper (granulate) or later into the mixing zone (melted up, liquid). The mixing zone can be separately heated or cooled.

When feeding under pressure, two metering pumps in series are used, whereby the first pump carries out the pressure build-up and the second the high-precision metering. The speeds of both pumps are set using an intelligent control system.

Powered 3DD mixer as a separate unit This unit is a hot melt extruder with a dynamic mixing function. Here, the pressure differential required for mixing is extensively compensated by the pressure build-up in the screw section. The speed can be selected in accordance with the mixing task. The melt temperature can be influenced by the air-cooled mixing cylinder. The mixer is designed for integration into melt distribution systems for larger throughput volumes (> 100 kg/h). Both melt and liquid mass flows can be fed in.

The system can be completed with pressurized tanks with electrical filling height monitoring and valves. Valve technology enables fast dye changes using a rinse mode.

Promix AC For customized feeding of additives or dyes (liquid) at the spinning position, this planetary gear pump offers an injection function. To this end, the dynamic mixer works synchronous to the pump speed. Pumps with 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12 or 16 outlets are available.

Promix VS To be able to tend to the mixing and metering functions separately in terms of process, a unit with 2 separate drives for mixing and metering was developed. The unit can be integrated into spinning positions or upstream into the melt distribution system.

Spinning head series SP8x

First-class spinning heads make first-class yarns make first-class profits! The quality of the thread is determined during spinning.

The manifold in an Oerlikon Barmag spinning line is specially optimized regarding melt residence time, pressure drop 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 almost maintenance-free.

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. This system also enables the production of microfilaments without loss of quality and productivity and excellent productivity for standard titers.

Oerlikon Barmag’s spinning head series covers the processes for textile and industrial yarns as well as home textiles even for processing critical materials like PA6. In all cases the spinning head steam heating ensures excellent temperature uniformity.

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.

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 predecessor SP5x system. In trials, this has revealed, for example, energy savings of more than 200,000 kWh/year for a 36-position system.

Reduced spacing with zig zag In combination with the EvoQuench radial inflow quenching unit in zigzag layout, the SP8x is also available in a zigzag design. The reduced spacing in comparison to a standard EvoQuench and SP8x spinning head allows for a higher number of spin packs or bigger packs in the same position pitch. This option is available for 88 and 104mm spin packs.

26

FDY solutions – Oerlikon Barmag

Spin packs

Advanced spin pack Through continual further development of the spin packs, the spinneret surface has been increased by up to 25% while maintaining the same external dimensions. The throughput required for the spinning process can hence be achieved with a smaller spin pack diameter. The spinning head melt residence time reduces by 10%.

The new design offers the following process benefits: - increased filament distance on spinneret for better filament cooling and fewer yarn breaks, especially for microfiber and high count; - large filter surface for higher throughput, compared to other spin packs with the same outer spin pack diameter; - large filter surface for longer spin pack operation time; - increased filament count (microfiber) compared to other spin packs.

The advanced spin pack is available as the proven self sealing version, however, for the production of polyamide 6.6 we supply a forced sealing version.

Double-in-one When looking at throughput, FDY systems for small titers require a relatively high level of investment. The 24-fold Double-in-one (DIO) spinning plant concept has been able to considerably reduce the investment costs while maintaining yarn quality.

The DIO concept, with two completely-independent spinnerets in one base, allows manufacturers to use approx.

30% less space vis-Ă -vis single packages while retaining the titer evenness. Microfilaments with 24 ends can be efficiently manufactured if the DIO technology is combined with the EvoQuench system.

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. Oerlikon Barmag quenching systems supply a uniform, turbulence-free airflow for achieving excellent uster values.

During the quenching process, each filament is supplied with the same amount of cooling air, hence ensuring defined crystallization and orientation of the polymer molecules basis for optimal uster, 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, PA 6.6, PP and others.

Quenching systems: quality assurance also for microfiber yarns We provide different quenching systems especially designed for our customers’ needs: The standard cross-flow quench system is suited for standard yarns and microfiber yarns higher than 0.7 dpf (denier per filament). The cross-flow quench system with quench booster stabilizes the production of yarns in the 0.7 to 1 dpf range.

For the production of PET high-count yarns and microfiber yarns, we recommend the EvoQuench system, which allows for either a 10 to 12 end machine with up to 288 filaments (and filament counts down to 0.5 dpf) or a 20 to 24 end machine with up to 144 filaments.

The Windows-based GUIDE system controls the airflow.

Various quench air profiles, depending on the process requirements, are available.

Cross-flow quenching system – one unit for (almost) everything This quenching system is the number one choice for all commodity applications. Robust, easy to use, suitable for a broad range of titers and all standard polymers, the Oerlikon Barmag cross-flow quenching system feels at home in almost all FDY spinning processes. As a result of the specially constructed rectifier, which corresponds to all requirements in terms of even and laminar air, extremely high yarn qualities can be achieved.

EvoQuench – something innovative from the technology leader In contrast to the cross-flow, the air here is symmetrically guided from the outside of the thread bundle to the inside.

This ensures optimal cooling-air flow of the thread along the entire length of the yarn surface. The EvoQuench system

was developed for microfiber yarns with low filament count, but also covers a good range of commodity yarns. With more than 3500 installed positions the EvoQuench system is on its way to become a sales hit made by Oerlikon Barmag. e-save with EvoQuench In the quenching unit, it is the consumption of controlledprocessed compressed air that is the criterion that determines the resource consumption and hence the conversion costs. Depending on the titer and dpf, Oerlikon Barmag’s EvoQuench unit reduces the air requirements by between 70% and more than 80% compared to a cross-flow quenching unit. The air savings per spinning position add up to more than 20,000 m³ every year.

Godets

Oerlikon Barmag godets are custom-developed components for manmade fiber production. Continual innovations in the areas of design, process and safety fulfill the ever-increasing demands of ever faster processes. Our godet families are renowned for their countless productive details. Their process technological properties make it possible to achieve outstanding results in a huge variety of processes.

High productivity and competitiveness is ensured thanks to the following basic requirements: - Robust design; - Achievable process speeds; - Low operating cost; - Reduced maintenance times; - The suitable godets for all MMF processes.

Godets for the FDY process For years, the HF godet series has been well-established in production facilities throughout the world and offers proven advantages. High-precision setting and control of heater temperatures with large godet working width, due to: - Inductive high-frequency heaters, based on the multi-zone principle, ensuring high efficiency and, therefore, minimum heat loss; - Individually controlled heating zones, each monitored by a temperature sensor.

All HF godets have high godet shell wear-resistance. The shell and all other parts of our godets have a nickel surface, which is extremely corrosion-resistant, even in the case of aggressive media such as spin finishes and oligomers. The godet shell surface is available in ceramic or other coatings.

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.

The number of yarn ends per position have continuously increased from 8 to 12 to 24 ends. However, our godets achieve nearly the same yarn properties for all processes, regardless of the number of yarn ends.

Dependable quality at high output rates Stable operation, even at the 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.

Lower energy consumption Compared to other godet heating concepts, the HF principle has 20% less power consumption than, for example, 50Hz heat pipe systems. The HF godet family thus easily fulfills the requirements for the e-save label. The energy savings are, independent of the increasing number of yarn ends per position, more than 1 kWh 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.

ACW

The ACW – Advanced CRAFT Winder – represents the next generation of the successful CRAFT winder program. It incorporates many new features while retaining the essential characteristics and advantages of the preceding generation.

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 sensorcontrolled yarn catcher guarantees 100% unifor-mity for the transfer and the end locator. As a result of the electrically driven bale rolls, the form of the packages can be influenced, hence enabling a qualitatively specified further processing.

Efficient operating An extended parking time allows for 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 traverse motion unit.

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 simpli-

fies 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.

Production optimization To optimize the production processes, the ACW has a unique first yarn break detection system for determining the precise position of the yarn break. This feature is unique because the signaling of yarn breaks in the millisecond range enables accurate error and process analysis. The measured data is transferred to the plant operation center (POC) for statistical evaluation. Hence, the POC reliably supports the continual optimization of the plant.

Plant Operation Center POC – Plant Operation Center – is the all-embracing workflow management system from Oerlikon Textile.

It is designed to detect and optimize the production processes within a production stage, e.g. spinning, or over all production stages – starting with the raw material up to the end product.

Advanced features Job Disposition Production jobs are presented either as an ERP form or via the ERP interface. Production jobs are distributed as manufacturing jobs to fixed or specifically configured production units, i.e. they are planned.

At the same time, Oerlikon Textile is extending POC with a view to integrating all levels of internal order handling. Thanks to a high degree of modularity, scalability, and system openness with POC, Oerlikon Textile can offer customers a perfectly tailored solution enabling a simple start and including the possibility of continuous upgrading.

Manufacturing jobs or partial manufacturing jobs are defined by the number of packages (weight), the running length categories, and perhaps the qualities.

36
