Increasing the output of Rieter E 7/5 and E 7/5A combers
Production bottlenecks in combing operations can be avoided – by the systematic conversion of existing machines. Find out more about the advantages of the conversion kit for the E 7/5 and E 7/5A combers. These conversion kits are quickly delivered and have an immediate impact on output.
The E 7/5 and E 7/5A generations of combers have reliably done their job day after day for many years. The production potential of these combers can be exploited to the full by this conversion, which enables nip rates to be increased from 250 nips/min. to a maximum of 350 nips/min. Numerous customers have made this conversion in recent years. They report positive results – higher production volumes and improved quality values of the combed sliver.
Original technology components make it possible
The conversion kit consists of several modules. Rieter technology components interact ideally – only in this way can increased output and enhanced quality be achieved. The high-performance nipper, the circular comb and the top comb – these are the 3 essential technology elements in this conversion kit. A new main motor enables nip rates to be increased.
The Rieter high-performance nipper enables output to be increased by up to 15%. The higher clamping force of the nipper ensures that the lap is grasped more firmly and enables batt weights of up to 80g/m to be processed. This results in fewer imperfections and in raw material savings with the same noil extraction rates.
The PRIMACOMB circular combs are very important for trouble-free running behaviour, the desired noil extraction rate and the required yarn quality. The circular combs are a core competence of Rieter. They can justifiably be described as the heart of every Rieter comber..
Rieter Award Week 2011 – a resounding success
At the end of September 2011, Rieter conferred the coveted Rieter Award for the 22nd time on students and young professionals in the field of textile engineering. Seven prospective textile professionals were presented with the Award and again this year, the winners were invited to visit the Company’s headquarters in Switzerland.
Special this year was that following the visit to Switzerland, the journey continued on to Barcelona (Spain) for the Textile Machinery Exhibition ITMA 2011. The Award ceremony was then held in Barcelona.
In close cooperation with universities and professors worldwide, the Rieter Award Jury sought and found the Award winners for this year. The seven prizewinners 2011 are: Mr. Md Almirany from Bangladesh, Ms. Qin Wang from China, Mr. Avinash Kesaraju from India, Mr. Kashif Nadeem from Pakistan, Ms. Nazan Erdumli from Turkey, Ms. Nguyen Bao Quyen Le from Vietnam and Mr. Pavel Murychau from Belarus. Regrettably, Mr. Md Almirany from Bangladesh was not granted a visa and could therefore not participate in the Rieter Award week 2011.
Highlight was the visit to the ITMA 2011
The varied program for the Award week gave the winners an insight into Rieter’s products and production. In addition, personal contacts could be established in the Sales and Management. The tightly packed program included sightseeing in Switzerland and also in Barcelona.
At the traditional Rieter Agents Day prior to the ITMA, presentation of the Award by the Business Unit CEO Peter Gnägi was carried out. Of course, the following two days with the visit to the ITMA were a highlight for the young textile professionals.
The Rieter Award encourages young professionals
Since 1989, the Rieter Award has been bestowed annually on students and young professionals. With this attractive prize, Rieter encourages skilled youngsters and thereby supports the universities and institutes in their efforts to win excellent students for a vocational training in the field of textiles.
Selection of the Rieter Award winners was carried out globally. Students and young professionals who have excelled themselves by well-founded work and great commitment in the field of textile engineering were selected.

Rieter sells two manufacturing facilities to Bühler
Uzwil-based technology group Bühler is to acquire two manufacturing facilities in the Czech Republic from Rieter, the textile machinery group based in Winterthur. These operate as suppliers to Rieter and other companies in various industrial sectors. This move gives both companies additional flexibility in manufacturing and in balancing capacity, and creates optimal preconditions for the long-term further development of these plants.
Additional manufacturing flexibility for Rieter
The manufacturing operations earmarked for sale (employing a workforce of 315 at the end of 2010) are located in Zamberk and Ústí nad Orlicí, and are part of Rieter CZ, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Rieter Group. As manufacturers of subassemblies, components and sheet metal parts they operate mainly as suppliers to Rieter. Business with third-party customers in different industrial sectors has been expanded progressively in recent years.
Rieter also intends to employ these plants in future as suppliers for its textile machinery manufacturing activities. However, in light of the further expansion of its business in the major Asian markets Rieter foresees changes in the volume of purchases from its Czech facility.
Through the transfer of this business to a new industrial owner (Bühler), Rieter will gain additional flexibility in manufacturing and at the same time create optimal development prospects for the plants being sold. Rieter’s remaining activities at the Ústí nad Orlicí and Boskovice sites are not affected by this transaction….Read More…..
