Maintenance budgets are tight and machine downtimes are costly. Rieter’s modular maintenance concept enables spinning mills to follow a structured and simple maintenance approach throughout the product lifecycle. It helps plan the maintenance budget and prevents machine downtime.
The draw frame maintenance kits consist of key spare parts with a high impact on machine performance and lifetime. Replacing those parts at the same time does not only improve machine performance but also reduces the overall conversion cost. New spare parts and components ensure that machines retain their key functionality. This also prevents costly repairs in the long term.
The draw frame mini kit consists of key components in the scanning and drafting zone with more fiber contact and a lifetime of approximately one year. The aim of the draw frame mini kit is to improve the quality of the sliver as well as the productivity. The key components like belts and grease support an efficient power transmission, while the top rollers, clearer lips and clearer plate play a key role in achieving consistent sliver quality. To maintain optimal machine performance, Rieter recommends replacing it every one to three years.
The performance kit is designed to ensure trouble-free performance of the machine over the next four to six years. This kit consists of support parts that are not in direct fiber contact but provide the support frame to ensure an uninterrupted working of all parts that are in contact with fiber and supply a high-quality sliver like bearings, pneumatic cylinder, gas pressure springs, tension springs and many more to ensure the proper functioning of the drive elements.
The draw frame overhaul kit includes key components to ensure high machine efficiency, components with long lifetime contributing to quality and production and allowing that the machine is ready for the next decade of operation. The kit extends the machine’s lifetime to several years while maintaining its original performance. Rieter recommends replacing it every seven to ten years.
Investing in regular maintenance is smart and helps prevent breakdowns. Rieter maintenance kits combine spare and wear parts with the corresponding service life to improve machine performance and reduce conversion costs.
