Rings and Travellers

RINGS AND TR AVELLERS

Running Performance at its best

Rings and Travellers are the dominant elements in the ring spinning process. Key
to success is the reduction of the friction coefficient to the lowest level possible.
At this point you will get the perfect balanced spinning geometry that means
the spinning tension is on a constant balanced level.
The reduction of friction will be achieved if the rings and travellers
establish a symbiosis. Therefore the Saurer Components R&D
focused on the ideal combination of rings and travellers.
The aspired ideal friction stands for:
- Higher traveller speed
- Lower working temperature
- Extended ring and traveller life time
- Avoidance of yarn tension peaks
- Better yarn quality (reduction of hairiness)
- Reduction of end breaks

Furthermore the ideal friction strikes

the balance between:
- Traveller drive angle to ring
- Traveller weight
- Traveller and ring geometry
- Traveller and ring coating
- Ring positioning

In perfect balance
Several parameters have a direct influence on the spinning geometry, defined as the
spinning tension at constant balanced level. The table above shows practical data on
traveller speed, yarn count, ring diameter and flange type.
Traveller Driving Angle
The statement as wider the driving angle as
lower the friction has generality.
The symbiosis of Rings and Travellers ensure:
- A wide traveller driving angle for an increasing
traveller speed
- Less stress peaks
- Reduction of end breaks
- Higher yarn quality due to the reduced hairiness
These advantages are the direct effect of the perfect combination of Texparts Rings and Travellers.

Coatings
Ring Coating
The ring and traveller system in the short staple spinning process
operates dry. Fiber debris from the yarn along with natural fiber
waxes like cotton pectin or spinning oil from man-made fibers are
accumulated on the traveller / ring system. The degree and the
quality of accumulation depend on the ring coating, traveller shape
and coating, besides others.

The Texparts Ring Coating Mach 1 includes:

Ring Coating Mach 1 with deposit bags

Deposit function
The deposit function supports the lubrication.

Orange skin
The orange skin function reduces the contact area between ring
and traveller.
This ensures less friction and thus an extended serviceable life.

Ring Coating Mach 1 with orange

skin surfaces

Benefits
ff No running-in time
ff Longer serviceable life for ring and traveller
ff Consistent smooth running behavior

Traveller Coating
Compared to conventional travellers the Texparts Traveller Coating
enables reduced running-in time. During the running-in phase of
the traveller the system will be lubricated by the fiber.

There are two traveller types for different running speeds available:

Marathon
Chemical deposit plating for compact yarn and for all applications
in which longer lifetime is required. The optimum quality for a higher
performance.

Traveller Coating Marathon

Sprint
Nickel plated traveller for all standard applications. Excellent service
life time, smooth yarn path and good heat dissipation are the main
features.

Traveller Coating Sprint

Benefits
ff Extend ring and traveller life time
ff Increasing and stable yarn quality
ff End breaks at standard level

Texparts Travellers are suitable for all

kind of fiber material. The selection of
the best type for your yarn and application is accomplished through the
traveller number. If a required traveller
number is not listed please contact us.

According to the running speed all travellers are available as marathon or sprint type.

Ring holder
Texparts holders provide manufacturers with more advantages during the
spinning processes.
Every ring should be fixed into the ring rail horizontally and in line with the spindle. To fix the ring you need
either an aluminum holder or a metal holder with traveller cleaner.

Benefits
ff Centering the rings can contribute to an increase in production of up to 5 %
ff The cost of replacement rings is halved, because 8 mm high rings cost half
that of 18 mm high rings
ff The use of smaller rings with a dia of for example 38 mm inner dia is possible
without any further measures
