Twisting with 10 inches pot

Some years back , I wrote about TFO to have 8inches feed packages as one prime input to reduce the power and today after many years, the Industry  is switching to 8 inches.


Now, the smartest people in the Industry will go a step forward and change this to 10 inches feed packages and use only 90mm pot on the TFO.

With 90mm pot, one can go to speeds upto 18,000 rpm and with servo motors on the take up, now there is no issues of take up cam limitations.  As the dia of balloon drops from 145 mm Pot to 90mm pot, which is around 61`% lower, proportionately the power drops around 50%. Higher speeds will incrementally increase the power cost, but the higher productivity is anytime more profitable.

With Mantex tubes and 90mm pot, the package can be still around 1.2 kgs knotless. For sewing thread, this is like a killer technology. Where you now need only half the nos of machines to produce the same qty and yet the power cost is still the same as double the machines.

If you go down further to 75mm pot, than you reach speeds of around 19000 rpm and take around 950 gms package as input and 1. 89 kgs final package.

The design of the TFO substantially changes , but I will not give the design inputs here, Let the Industry learn from its own experiences.

All these are only for Technology oriented Specialist and not for everyone. Only the smartest companies, who make quick changes get the best advantage out of it.

10 inches precision Doubler winders from Peass and a new design of TFO and the world of twisting changes for ever.
