EliTwist® Two-Ply Compact Yarn directly from your Ring Spinning Machine

The EliTwist®Spinning Method combines compact spinning and twisting of a yarn in one single operation.

The specific yarn structure provides for the typical characteristics of EliTwist®Yarns, which are responsible for the very good processing properties:

  • Superior yarn strength and maximum work capacity owing to excellent fibre substance utilization
  • Very good yarn evenness as a result of doubling
  • Circular, compact yarn cross-section
  • Extremely low hairiness values
  • Smooth yarn surface
  • High resistance to yarn slippage
  • Good abrasion resistance
  • Both yarn legs of the two-ply yarn with identical direction of twist

EliTwist®Yarns can be produced in a most cost-effective way:

  • Compact Spinning and twisting in one operation
  • Significant production increase on ring spinning and winding machine
  • Doubling and twisting are saved
  • Spindle speed and ends-down achieve the level of single compact yarns spun in the same yarn count

Areas of application developed until now:

  • Principally no restriction regarding raw materials; fibre blends are also possible
  • High-grade shirts and trouser fabrics
  • Light gabardine fabrics
  • Increasingly used for knitwear
  • Special two-ply yarns with high strength
  • Industrial fabrics

EliTwist® has successfully further improved the excellent textile and physical characteristics of compact yarn. The extremely cost-effective application of this spinning process on existing ring spinning frames with the EliTe®CompactSet further emphasises the high flexibility of the EliTe®Process.

EliTwist® can be retrofitted to all spindles of EliTe®CompactSet and
Fiomax E already installed. EliTe®CompactSet with EliTwist®CompactSet can be used on many types of ring spinning frames.

The structure of these EliTwist®Yarns provides new approaches for the production of core-yarns and other special yarns. The Core-Yarn Device developed by SUESSEN for this purpose allows to spin core-yarns with perfect covering effect by feeding the filament into the centre of the twisting triangle.

Depending on the fibre material, even the smallest yarn twist coefficients are possible. As a rule, the optimum twist coefficient of EliTwist®Yarns is between the twist coefficient of a single yarn and the ply-twist coefficient of a conventional S/Z two-ply yarn.

Splicing of EliTwist®Yarns is technically possible and has been solved by all manufacturers of winding machines.

Summary:
The EliTwist®Spinning Method is the most cost-effective method worldwide to produce two-ply compact yarns. The technological yarn parameters are unequalled. The EliTwist®System can be retrofitted to all EliTe®Spindles so far delivered. All ring spinning machines suitable for the EliTe®CompactSet can be equipped with EliTwist®.
