Air Covering

Air covering machine

• Tubes

  or cops are the most flexible base for a wide range of package shapes (e.g.: cylindrical - no taper / biconical - double taper / single taper / bottle shape), depending on the winding unit (type of winding)

• FilamentYarnFilament Yarn

  Synthetic yarn composed of one or more filaments that run the whole length of the yarn. Yarns of one filament are referred to as mono-filament; yarns of several filaments as multi-filament.

• ELElastan

  Elastane or Spandex is a polyurethane-polyurea copolymer. This synthetic fibre can be stretched from four to seven times their length, reverting to their original length when the tension is relaxed. Used for all areas where a high degree of permanent elasticity is required: hosiery, underwear, sportswear, and in woven and knitted fabrics.

• DTYDrawn Textured Yarn

  Made from Polyester POY by simultaneously twisting & drawing. DTY yarn is mainly used in weaving and knitting.

• PET / PESPolyester

  Synthetic fiber made from a thermoplastic polymer that contain the ester functional group in their main chain. Most commonly refers to a type called polyethylene terephthalate (PET) or polyethylene succinate (PES) with a melting point from 103 – 106°C

• PAPolyamid

  Also known as Nylon. PA consists of chemical fibres and are obtained from synthetic polymers. Polyamid is very resistant and tear proof as well as elastic, stretchable and takes just a little moisture up. In addition it is extensively crease-resistant and drip-dry.

XENO-AC – the new SSM air covering machine – is a yarn processing machine for intermingling and precision winding of filament yarns and Elastan with or without lubrication. Infinitely adjustable process conditions as well as an up-todate yarn path enable the optimisation of the closeness and stability of the intermingling of yarns, according to the specific requirements of the downstream process.

The SSM XENO-AC TWIN air covering machine is the safe and proven way to produce elastic core yarns. Infinitely adjustable process conditions as well as an up-to-date yarn path enable the optimisation of the closeness and stability of the intermingling of yarns, according to the specific requirements of the down-stream process.
