Trutzschler introduces new T-Blend tuft blending system

Trutzschler, one of the world’s leading textile machinery manufacturer that specialises in installations and accessories for spinning preparation, the nonwovens, and man-made fibre industry from Germany, has launched new T-Blend tuft blending system. When it comes to tuft blending with T-BLEND, Trutzschler relies on blending accuracy and reproducibility.

The self-monitoring system is said to guarantee flexible application when blending natural and man-made fibres of different lengths, finenesses and colours, the company reports.

Compared with previous Trützschler tuft feeding installations, the performance of the pans of the new tuft blending system has doubled, according to the manufacturer. The filling process is automatically optimised and weighing is performed more quickly due to a vibration-free three-point suspension.

All of this is said to result in increased weighings per unit of time and more volume per discharge. Naturally, the evaluated information is also made available to the higher level Data Management System T-Data, the company said.

To ensure the observance of the blending ratio, the only technologies considered suitable are those that precisely weigh the individual components. For this reason, the new Trützschler tuft blending installations T-Blend are also based on the weighing principle.

T-Blend has been developed to allow exact dosing of the individual components and – during the second step – blending to a homogeneous material. Thus, precise adherence to the blending ratios over long periods of time and/or within a lot is ensured. The result is said to be a perfect dosing of the blending components.

This aims to rule out a gradual deviation, like, for instance, with volume measurement, that cannot be avoided due to deviations in degree of opening or ambient atmosphere. Blendcontrol monitors each individual discharge and automatically and permanently corrects any deviations.
