BERKOL multigrinder (c) 2018 Bräcker
Bräcker will show the latest applications at ITMA Asia. The Swiss based leading manufacturer of key components for ring spinning machines will exhibit the well-known, high quality products and present the latest innovations. Bräcker will welcome interested visitors in hall 1, booth D01.

Bräcker’s products enable spinning mills to increase their production output at an efficient price-performance ratio. The company will demonstrate the ability to generate additional customer value, by utilizing its expertise in ring spinning.

The surface treatment of the ONYX travellers facilitates a higher efficiency. The improved gliding characteristic allow for an increase of the spindle speed by up to +1000 rpm and prolongs the life of the traveller by up to +50%. On top of that the running-in period is considerably reduced. 

The large contact surface between SFB traveller and ORBIT ring allows for increased spindle speeds even with fibers like Viscose or with fibers, tending to thermal damage, e.g. Polyester.

Higher traveller speeds of 10 - 20% are achieved compared to the T-flange ring / C-shaped traveller system. To cover the new demands, the SFB traveller portfolio was substantially expanded in regards of traveller profiles and weights.
