is often used to enhance strength, durability, performance and other high-value

properties of an end product.

4 Applications

5

Raw materials and applications

Each of the polymers suited for extruding and spinning industrial yarns –

Polypropylene (PP), Polyamide (PA6 and PA66) and Polyester (PET) –

deliver specific properties which define the application area of the yarns.

OPTIMA for IDY 6

There are reasons to make good things even

better – you and your success in the market.

A single platform for both IDY and BCF

OPTIMA is the basis for several 4-end and

8-end industrial yarn and 4- or 6-end BCF

extrusion systems. It lays the foundation for

a top-quality bobbin by minimizing stress on

the yarn.

Layout features: • A symmetric, straight yarn path. • Perfect heat distribution in both the spin

beam and in the drawing zone allow for

equal filament properties.

• Gentle yarn treatment by proven

components.

Overall advantages are less filament breaks

and associated low vonversion costs.

Characteristics:

• A concept as powerful as its predecessor

• Multi-end machines to suit exactly your needs

• A productivity and flexibility unreached in the market

The ultimate goal of our TEC-Ox systems is to ensure

infinite flexibility for you. Our OPTIMA solution provides

you with a wide range of yarn counts and applications

that can be produced on the same system. Moreover,

multiple possibilities for component arrangement gives

you the opportunity to make efficient use of the available

space in your production hall.

Extrusion, spinning and quenching

At Trützschler there is no compromise on quality –

all parts and processes are designed for highest yarn

qualities, efficiency and smooth running behaviour.

Homogeneous melt

OPTIMA’s extruders ensure optimal

mixing conditions. The special barrier

screw processes all common polymers

such as PP, PA6, PA66, or PET. All

systems feature short melt pipes to

minimize melt cooling and polymer

degradation. Additionally, waste is kept

low due to quick product or colour

changes. The direct polymer flow also

ensures low maintenance needs.

Excellent filament formation

The OPTIMA spinning system allows for small (4-ends) and large (up to 16-ends) production units. Excellent filtration,

high throughput and ideal flow properties – the OPTIMA spin packs deliver absolutely identical heating conditions and

mechanical treatment of the polymer melt. Thus, the variation of the single filament diameter is minimized. Top loading of

the rectangular packs ensures easy and secure handling. The annealer between the spinnerets and the quench cabinet

allows for a high drawing potential.

Perfect cooling

The cross-flow quenching units are pulsation-free. The cooling air temperature, relative humidity, air velocity and profile

are adjusted according to product requirements. The sturdy design eases assembly and disassembly and ensures optimal

service and maintenance conditions.

Drawing – Modularity as a premiere design principle

Each member of the TEC system family features a modular built draw frame with several

duos of heated godets. The end product’s requirements on yarn tenacity determine the

number of duos implemented.

Semi-industrial yarns are

produced on a 3-duo

system. They are used in

end products that require

durability but not the

highest tenacity.

The system concept with

4 duos per position delivers

high and super high tenacity

yarns for belts, nets and

ropes.

5 duos are needed when

producing low and superlow shrinkage yarns. Typical

applications are coated

broad woven fabrics or tire

cords.

1+3 duos for manufacturing

semi-industrial yarns

1+4 duos for a broad range of

high-tenacity and low-shrinkage

yarns

1+5 duos deliver super lowshrinkage yarns

11

Accurate drawing to the point

The robust and reliable double shell rolls (DSR)

implement the heat pipe technology which delivers

the most accurate heating profile. More than 28,000

DSR have been delivered worldwide up to now. They

are evidence of the high performance standard.

Moreover, it is not necessary to disassemble the whole

DSR for maintenance. For this reason the downtime

and waste of the machine are minimized, while the

efficiency and, therefore, output are increased.

Fast and reliable

Absolute even roll heating by heat pipe technology –

even when not placed into an insulated box.

Winding the perfect bobbin

There is one characteristic marking a perfect bobbin: it can be smoothly

processed by the downstream equipment. OPTIMA relies on the proven FW51

2-end and the newly innovated FW81 4- or 8-end winders to fulfil this task.

Winding perfect bobbins: the proven FW51

Trützschler Man-Made Fibers’ fully automatic, compact FW51 2-end winder

ensures perfect bobbins and uncomplicated downstream processes. A special

advantage is the high transfer efficiency when using plastic or paper tubes –

even when paper tubes are used multiple times.

Flexibility at its finest: the new FW81

In cooperation with a renowned technology partner

Trützschler Man-Made Fibers offers a second winder

option to cover the lower-to-medium yarn counts. With

its 1,200 mm chuck, the FW81 fully automatic winder

is able to operate both in 4-end and/or in 8-end mode,

winding bobbins with diameters up to 420 mm.

Furthermore, the FW81 offers the possibility to turn the

4-end winder into an 8-end winder and vice versa with

an easy to apply conversion kit.

TEC-O40 and TEC-O80

configurations

Our extrusion and spinning systems are tailor-made according

to your application and local requirements. TEC-Ox systems

can be bulding-integrated or with steel frame, with or without

operator platform, winder placement beside or below the draw

frame.

Free-standing systems

The most compact system locates both the draw panel and

the winder side-by-side on the ground floor. Just one operator

is needed for threading-up and handling.

FW81 winders.

15

Separating drawing and winding

When the installation is biuldingintergrated, often the godet section has

to be separated from the winders to

reduce the gauge width. Yarn intrance

and godet duos are placed on the

platform while the winders are on the

ground floor. Such solutions require two

operators for threading up.

Technical Center and yarn laboratory

For trials the Technical Center of Trützschler Man-Made Fibers

in Winterthur is at your service. It hosts both a full scale extrusion

system for IDY and a line for BCF (PP, PA6, PA66, PET as well as

PTT for BCF only) .The entire chain of processes from polymer to

bobbin can be validated at production scale. Our experts will be

pleased to assist you with their profound knowledge and expertise.

Yarn and polymer laboratory

Yarn samples are conditioned in our laboratory for at least 8 hours

at 23 ± 2°C and 65 ± 5% of relative humidity. Properties determined

later on are yarn count, number of broken filaments and loops,

tenacity and elongation at break, thermal fatigue, hot air shrinkage,

crimp in boiling water, spin finish pick up and filament cross section.

In respect to polymer quality assessments our facility is quipped

with a Karl-Fisher-Titrator to measure the polymer’s exact moisture

content at the extruder inlet. With our partners it is also possible

to conduct more sophisticated analyses.
