Vardhman Modernizes Plant with Rieter Draw Frames and Combers
Neeraj Jain, Joint Managing Director Vardhman Textiles
In a move towards modernization, Vardhman has once again selected Rieter for a substantial investment and purchased 66 Rieter draw frames (R)SB-D 27/55 and 35 Rieter combers E 86. This decision was the result of a careful purchasing process, where Vardhman's technicians played a crucial role as decision-makers.
Rieter proved to be the ideal partner, offering advanced solutions that aligned perfectly with Vardhman's requirements for automation, flexibility, and quality. One key factor in this project was Rieter's ROBOlap system, the world's only automated lap change and batt piecing system. Additionally, Rieter's broad recycling expertise, coupled with their superior support, set their position as the optimal choice for Vardhman's modernization efforts.
Rieter's Technology Paves the Way for Modernization and Sustainability
With 66 Rieter draw frames (R)SB-D 27/55 and 35 Rieter combers E 86, Vardhman decided to invest in state-of-the-art technology to enhance efficiency, productivity, and sustainability. Automation was therefore a key requirement for Vardhman to achieve these goals. Moreover, the importance of recycling is growing, not only for Vardhman but for the entire industry. Recognizing this, Vardhman is investing significantly in their recycling processes and integrates 7 Rieter draw frames out of this modernization order into their recycling lines.
Vardhman has initiated a comprehensive purchasing process and integrated their technical team as key decision-makers. This process involved not only management perspectives but also the invaluable input of technicians working with the solutions daily.
Highly Automated Combing System
The comber E 86 offers a comprehensive range of benefits tailored to meet the demands of modern textile manufacturing. With a capacity to produce more than 1.5 tons of combed sliver per day, it ensures efficient and consistent production rates. The established, fully automated lap change and batt piecing system ROBOlap stands for modern combing operations. It ensures high sliver quality thanks to uniform piecing over all heads and reduces the need for manual intervention.
Highest Quality and Productivity with the Autoleveler Draw Frames RSB-D 27/55
With delivery speeds of up to 1 200 m/min, Rieter’s draw frames achieve unparalleled performance without compromising on quality – also when processing recycled fibers. Rieter's autoleveler draw frames, boast exceptional scanning precision and the highest leveling dynamics. A new, additional suction nozzle keeps the calendar roller area clean, even when processing recycled fibers, and the optimized web funnel gives the flexibility to easily adjust it to virgin or recycled fibers. Moreover, Rieter's latest generation of draw frames ensures lower maintenance, thanks to enhanced robustness and the intuitive handling.
