Retech introduces latest textile components
Switzerland-based producer of textile machinery components Retech AG has unveiled new products that can be used for synthetic filament yarn production.
These include the ESM (energy saving motor) concept, which is an alternative to the conventional reluctance motor. The ESM consists of a permanent magnet excited synchronous motor with short-circuited cage for asynchronous self starting. It can be connected to the mains supply as a drive with constant revolutions or to an inverter as a variable speed single or group drive. It can offer significant cost reductions as well as cutting down energy usage.
The ESM is currently available in two sizes, BG90 and BG112. The BG90 is used for a godet size up to 160 mm by 210 mm. The BG112 is used for a godet size from 180 mm by 270 mm up to 225 by 420 mm.
Meanwhile, Retech’s new LCR (liquid cooled roll) can offer advantages in terms of yarn properties, particularly for technical yarns.
