SOLUTION
The solution designed for Sia iCotton involved the installation of condenser cylinders on the 4 Marzoli C701NW cards of the plant, with the aim of increasing the standard weight of the web, that can reach up to 60 gsm.
Compared to the traditional card, in this case, in the web detaching unit, two cylinders placed after the doffer, give to the web the desired weight, thanks to special gaskets and their fully adjustable speed.
The cylinders, driven by independent motors, allow the drafting parameters to be managed individually.
With this layout, designed and built together with Marzoli, we can obtain a wide range of weights: this makes the plant highly versatile and adaptable to all our needs.
So, thanks to the versatility and modularity of the plant, we are able to independently manage each single machine, also changing its production if necessary.
RESULTS
“Thanks to this innovative solution applied to the cards in our plant, we have been able to double the weight of the final product we offer to our customers, reaching a weight of 280 gsm.”
This layout designed introduces an important new element: in addition to being able to work in a separately way different types of material (cotton wool, viscose, hemp, cotton linen), they can also be processed simultaneously in order to obtain a product made up of two different raw materials.
This responds perfectly to the ever growing need to create high quality and highly resistant products that, at the same time are hypoallergenic and soft when in contact with the skin.
“Marzoli, thanks to its skills and in-depth knowledge of a wide range of fibers, has been able to understand our needs, and translate them into a customized solution, versatile and optimized for our plant”
