Unveiling of the fabulous energy-saving Allma CC4 at the Tire Technology Expo 2011 Kempten, 12 January 2011 – The very latest generation of the globally successful Allma CableCorder family has arrived. The Allma CC4 is targeted to customers’ requirements for today and tomorrow, and sets new benchmarks with regard to energy saving and quality. At the Tire Technology Expo 2011 in Cologne, the Allma exhibition team from Oerlikon Saurer will introduce the Allma CC4 to the specialist public. Visitors can expect a machine with a completely new approach to tire cord cabling production.
Energy is becoming more and more expensive Energy costs are by far the greatest cost pool in the entire tire cord cabling process. And this percentage will increase even further in view of the expected worldwide increase in the cost of energy. Current figures with practical examples clearly confirm this. Energy costs amount to 30 to 50% for plants with write-down requirements, and 40 to 80% for amortised plants. So it’s not surprising that the market is demanding cutting-edge solutions.
The Allma CC4 is the answer to increasing energy costs The Allma Product Line accepted the challenge to provide an intelligent solution to constantly increasing energy prices. After an intensive development period, we can now present the result to the market: the Allma CC4. The new Allma CC4 offers tire cord manufacturers enormous, even revolutionary production cost savings together with further quality improvement. Depending on the yarn count and the spindle type, energy costs can be reduced by up to 50% compared to the current models. And at the same time, the heat load in the production area is reduced accordingly.

Production covers cabling of balanced 2-ply tire cord, twisting of single yarns and of unbalanced 2-ply constructions as well as balanced and unbalanced 3-ply constructions. And now the Allma CC4 is continuing this tradition with new technological features to give customers new production advantages. The number of thread breakages is already low today, but can be reduced by another 50%, and with the innovative thread guide and online monitoring of the thread tension, maximum quality and processing reliability are ensured. Moreover, operators will benefit from very easy machine handling with maximum production flexibility together with a pleasant work environment. All the machine parameters can be set electronically, the package handling is state-of-the-art with regard to efficiency and ergonomics, and the noise level is at a new, massively reduced level.
