Bräcker, Graf, Novibra and Suessen – from fibre to yarn
The 4 companies Bräcker, Graf, Novibra and Suessen joined their sales forces, uniting the world's leading brands for the supply of technology components to the textile industry, forming the only global provider of components for all spinning technologies. At the ITM the latest development to improve fiber yield and productivity will be presented.

Bräcker AG

Founded in 1835 as a family business, Bräcker AG soon developed as a specialist for key products in the textile industry. With the expansion to France in 1951, the foundation was laid for successful international development. Thanks to steadfast development of new markets early on, in particular overseas, Bräcker AG became a global market leader. The take-over of Gretener Yarn Carriers in 2001 and of BERKOL in December 2007 completed and strengthened Bräcker AG's product range.

30 Million TITAN Spinning Rings

Bräcker has been able to maintain its leadership position in spinning rings with our TITAN ring, of which so far more than 30 Mio pieces have been sold to successful spinning mills around the world.
Our continuous efforts in developing new travellers, in response to new requirements, continue to be successful and we constantly introduce new travellers to optimize productivity and efficiency of the most modern ringspinning machines.

J-shaped Steel Traveller for long staple application

Years of experience in manufacturing a wide variety of travellers and benefiting from new insights in various manufacturing processes made it possible to introduce a J-shaped traveller, with an attractively improved price-performance ratio. This even for mills where frequent count changes require frequent traveller changes.

Bräcker will also exhibit the proven accessories such as

ORBIT spinning rings and the relevant travellers
PYRIT and ZIRKON travellers for especially demanding applications
Cost saving tools such as the Bräcker RAPID for easy and time saving insertion of travellers
The well known and appreciated range of BERKOL-Cots and Aprons

The leading BERKOL Cot grinding and -maintenance machines, including the BERKOLIZER unit.

Development in Cots

Bräcker is in the process of testing new BERKOL cots in various spinning mills around the world. So far the cots show promising results, offering long grinding cycles in compact spinning and very attractive yarn values when spinning medium to very fine yarn counts.


Graf + Cie AG

As a renowned partner supplying premium components for key processes in the short staple spinning industry and nonwoven applications, Graf is the leading manufacturer of metallic card clothing, stationary flats and flexible flat clothing, circular - and top combs for most major producers of carding and combing machines, roller cards as well as spinning mills. Graf provides added value to customers spotlighting convenience at work, superior performance and focusing on high quality yarn output.

Brandnew: Hipro metallic wire

Thanks to innovative geometry, excellent material and firstclass processing, Hipro metallic card clothings ensure top performance and precision together with an exceptionally long working life. Hipro metallic card clothings are suitable for all standard man-made fibres in the nonwoven sector and also for wool. They can be used on the following rollers: doffer, worker, stripper and condenser rollers. These excellent, robust clothings are available with normal profile and as interlinked clothings.

Resist-O-top flexible flat clothing

The resist-O-top generation of flexible flat clothings for processing of cotton, man-made -, and regenerated fibres as well as for blends and swing applications is another of Graf’s innovations with a noticeable impact in the market. The resist-O-top setting pattern
favours the extraction of short fibres and trash as well as the elimination of neps. This flat series is progressively set without straight gaps between the rows of teeth. The wire dimensions for all C and M-types are selected with a difference of 5 numbers. The whole range of flats is available for all different types of cards.

Circular Comb PRIMACOMB 9030

The Circular Comb PRIMACOMB 9030 was developed by Graf in close co-operation with Rieter. In this context, with its six segments, this product provides optimum results in the combing of medium and long staple cotton for very high yarn counts. The six sections in alternately slanted arrangement lead to a noticeable improvement of the IPI values. Close manufacturing tolerances and first class raw materials assure even quality parameters throughout the entire lifetime.  

Novibra Boskovice s.r.o.

Novibra is the leader in spindle technology and the only 100% in-house spindle maker.
In 1988 the revolutionary HPS design changed the classical ring spinning and opened new prospects for spinning in speed up to 25 000 RPM. Till now this design maintains unbeatable position and becomes synonym for high speed spindle design.

The high performance of spindles on modern automated ring frames requires state of the art clamping device for an effective and reliable doffing.
The new Novibra clamping crown uses centrifugal effect for opening and closing at defined spindle speed. Reliable clamping and yarn cutting brings considerable advantages, to the spinners, during doffing.


Spindelfabrik Suessen GmbH

Only recently Suessen celebrated its 90th anniversary. Since its foundation in 1920, the company has been of great value for the spinning industry by an immeasurable amount of innovations and developments with lasting effect and influence on the history of spinning. Suessen is a global supplier of technology components and conversions for the yarn manufacturing industry in ring, open-end and airjet spinning. Suessen EliTe®Compact Spinning System is the preferred compact spinning system for spinning mills the world over.

Leadership in Compact Ring Spinning and Rotor Spinning Technology

We make considerable investments in continuous R & D, combined with applied research that is directly carried out at our customers’ mills. This ensures that we are able to further develop our technical and technological components in both an uncompromising and resolute manner. In particular, we focus on universal applicability, improved yarn quality, increased service life, reduced maintenance and proven reliability in industrial application.  

In ITM Istanbul we focus the presention to our customers on the following products:

EliTe®CompactSet V5
Worldwide we have sold over 5.500.000 units EliTe®Compact Spindles.
A new feature is the EliVAC-CDS - Central Duct Solution. The central suction duct is located on top of the ring spinning machine, the vacuum is generated by one motor with filter box. The main advantages are:

  • Easy and fast installation
  • No rotating drive shafts, pulleys, belts, bearings…
  • No individual fans for groups of EliTubes
  • Less energy consumption by approx. 20%
  • Less maintenance required
  • Fewer spare parts required

The Active Cradle with the PINSpacer NT improves the drafting process by an enhanced interfiber friction in the main draft zone. The Active Cradle with flexible leading edge and optimised pin position

  • improves the values of the most important yarn parameters and
  • is suitable for all popular top weighting arms

CPS - Cot Protecting System
The new CPS - Cot Protecting System in man-made fibre ring spinning reduces the maintenance in the drafting unit by extending the top roller life time – an apron protects the delivery roller cot from wear:

  • No grinding of delivery cots
  • Constant and equal yarn quality over a long time

Premium Parts - Spinning Components and Spare
Parts for Autocoro Rotor Spinning Machines. We show the new type of
