Saurer: Sustainable spinning with Autocoro and BD 7

Sustainable spinning with Autocoro and BD 7

Autocoro: Market leader with more than 1 million spinning units sold.

BD 7: Powered by market leading Autocoro technologies for first class yarn packages and perfect processing of sustainable fibres.

Spinning recycled and regenerated fibers into yarns for various applications is booming, from underwear and sportswear to outerwear fabrics such as denim. The ecologically valuable fibers offer opportunities and challenges for spinning mills at the same time. The spinning process is becoming more sustainable, and the challenges are high material throughput, higher dust loads and yarns that tend to be coarser.

The latest Autocoro generation, the Autocoro 10, makes it easy for fully automatic rotor spinning mills to spin sustainable yarns. 36 simultaneous, fully automatic piecing processes and a 25% higher package changing capacity guarantee high efficiency. The Intelligent Guidance System reduces the operating effort, the additional automatic cleaning with the Vacuum Trash Cleaner keeps the machines clean and new spinning components such as replaceable fibre beard supports in the spin box get the maximum yarn quality out of regenerated fibers.

The BD 7 offers high benefits for semi-automatic spinning mills. On the one hand, the digital piecing technology Digipiecing guarantees yarn-like piecings. On the other hand, Digipiecing paves the

way to higher productivity and to weaving-friendly large packages weighing up to 5 kg. The BD 7 is also robust, lifetimes of 10 years and longer are the rule.
