Key Benefits of the EliTe®Technology

There are many benefits not only for the primary user of our product (that is: the spinning mills) but also in the following processing stages as well as in the final textile product:  

Benefits for spinning mills (our customer):  

Benefits in the fibre processing

  • Optimum utilisation of fibre substance
  • Substantially improved spinning stability
  • Possibility of reducing yarn twist by up to 10% with corresponding production increase
  • Ends-down rate reduced by up to 60%
  • Fewer fibres/inexpensive raw material
  • Fibre loss in pneumafil reduced by 50%
  • Fibre fly reduced by 50%, less contamination

Savings in raw material/processing are also possible

  • Use less expensive raw material for equal yarn parameters
  • Carded compact yarn instead of combed yarn
  • Standard PES instead of "low-pilling fibres"
  • Reduced combing in case of combed yarns
  • Spinning of coarser wool into finer counts

In the direct product – the ring yarn:

  • Tenacity increased by up to 25%
  • Zweigle hairiness S3 (fibres exceeding 3mm) reduced by up to 85%
  • Uster (H) hairiness reduced by up to 30%
  • Elongation increased by 15% (CO) to 20% (WO)
  • Work capacity increased by up to 50%
  • Yarn irregularity often improved
  • IPI imperfections frequently reduced significantly

In the following processing stages:  

In Winding

  • Increased efficiency, reduced contamination
  • Higher winding speeds possible
  • Fewer clearer cuts due to fewer ends-down in spinning  

In Twisting

  • EliTe®Yarn often replaces non-compact two-ply yarn
  • EliTwist®Yarns replace non-compact two-ply yarn
  • Two-ply yarn made of compact single yarns requiring up to 20% less twist  

In Weaving Preparation

  • Less fibre fly and reduced ends-down in beaming and warping increase efficiency
  • 30-50% less sizing agent required   Weaving
  • Better weaving machine efficiency, resulting in increases in production of up to 15% (For example: Ne 30 in air-jet weaving machine: weft insertion with non-compact ring-spun yarn 500-600 m/min, with EliTe®Yarn 700-800 m/min)
  • 33% less ends-down in weft insertion
  • Less fibre entanglement in the warp
  • Less contamination/accumulation of fly on the machine  

In Knitting

  • Increase in machine efficiency and production
  • Less contamination, less maintenance, less idle periods
  • Less waxing
  • Single thread can substitute for double threads
  • Reduced wear of needles  

In Finishing

  • Singeing is reduced or even eliminated
  • less loss of weight on the spun yarn (yarn is "burnt" during singeing)
  • Dye liquor absorption improved, less dye liquor required

In the final textile product

  • Increased strength in the fabric
  • Less pilling tendency
  • Improved lustre
  • Clear print
  • Better stitch definition
  • Clearer weaving structure and more defined contours
  • Better touch of fabric
  • Possibility of developing completely new products
  • Better stability of shape
