ULTRAFEEDER - I.1 -
INTRODUCTION
Congratulations for choosing a BTSR product.
With our
ULTRAFEEDER yarn feeding devices, with or without the SMART
MATRIX FEEDER control unit or PFU/ 64 FS and SMART MATRIX PFU
integrated system , you got an innovative, unique solution able to offer you
multiple advantages concerning quality of your production.
The device that meets the current and future production needs
To meet the growing market requirements in terms of textile products which are
requested to be more and more technical and highly qualitative at a competitive
price, the textile industry must obviously use valuable yarns, i.e. bare or covered
elastomers.
The high cost of these raw materials and their intrinsic difficulty of use during the
production process push the textile industry to demand devices, instruments and
control systems able to guarantee a high quality level of products as well as to
strictly keep under control
(and optimize) the amount of yarn used.
The BTSR ULTRAFEEDER control devices offer the possibility to control and
adjust with extreme accuracy the yarn feeding tension, which is the main
requirement to reach the quality and saving goals stated above.
The ULTRAFEEDER devices are in fact high precision measurement and control
instruments providing a real time display of the exact yarn tension and
guaranteeing, through an accurate adjustment, a constant yarn tension in every
working condition. This occurs independently of the speed at which the textile
machine is running
(either high or low speed) and the tension is kept constant even
when the yarn package tension is subject to change due to environment conditions
such as humidity, temperature, etc., or when the yarn packages are gradually
emptying during the normal working process.
It is known that the yarn tension variation, due to the progressive yarn package
emptying, considerably affect the amount of yarn used by the machine.
This decreases the quality level of the product, increases the actual yarn
consumption
(thus affecting the manufacturing costs), and reduces the efficiency of
the textile machine (yarn breakage).
The ULTRAFEEDER devices are fully programmable and can easily be adapted
to any kind of yarn or tension adjustment. Furthermore these devices are
manufactured using very high quality and precision electronic components which
guarantee an exact display of the yarn tension as well as an accurate real-time
control of the tension itself, all features which are unique to this device.
