Energy efficiency

Highest energy saving with improved drive technologyThe drives on the BD 6 convert energy into power especially efficiently. This is because Schlafhorst engineers prefer to use top-quality, frugal motors of the latest generation for the BD 6. To your ad-vantage: you achieve a higher efficiency level and save energy in production in the long term.

Optimised aerodynamics for the most efficient productionThe improved design of air-guiding elements and an innovative surface structure provide the perfect configuration of the air flow. No valuable energy is wasted on the BD 6, which produces more profit-ably than ever before.

Energy MonitoringThe new Energy Monitoring system monitors the energy consumption online. You see the current energy consumption per lot or per kilogram of yarn. Or you can analyse the stored consumption data and organise your production to save even more energy.

Cylindrical packages, angle of wind: 33-34°

Patented digital technology for the highest efficiency ratingsDigital piecing technologies with high piecing reli-ability and the high-precision winding technology from the Autocoro offer a performance guarantee on the BD 6. Together they break through the productivity ceiling of semi-automatic machines. The BD 6 thus excels with the top performance in its class.

With a machine that is suitably configured up to a customised machine length, you make the best use of your production area, giving you a strong competitive advantage in the market.

High-speed winding of Autocoro qualityProduce quality packages of the utmost preci-sion. Only DigiPiecing offers you a take-up speed of up to 230 m/min for all machine lengths. This makes it faster than any other semi-automatic ro-tor spinning machine. More profit from maximum productivity!

PATENTED BY SCHLAFHORST

New sales marketsThe new BD packages achieve almost Autocoro quality in terms of size, homogeneity and unwind-ing behaviour. The BD 6 therefore opens up com-pletely new sales markets for you.

Fastest run-up with Joint Spinning InFull efficiency achieved in max. 10 minutes: no other rotor spinning machine of this class runs up faster than the BD 6. With the Joint Spinning In option, you can resume production extremely swiftly following a power outage or machine cleaning. This is a great advantage on long ma-chines in particular.

Improved NSB 6 spinbox, ideal for 42-inch spinning cansThe best spinbox in the semi-automatic segment has now become even better. Ensure perfect yarn values and optimum spinning stability for every raw material.

The new design is optimally suited to 42-inch spinning cans on account of the new gauge.

Flexibility

MultiLot for efficient lot managementHighly versatile in operation with optimum ma-chine utilisation: with MultiLot you can spin two lots simultaneously on the two sides of the ma-chine. Adapt your working sequences even better to current market demand – give your spinning mill the utlimate flexibility.

Innovation PilotGroup: spinning trials in ongoing operationOnly the BD offers you technology for flexibility: with the PilotGroup option you can use a group of spinning positions on either machine side for the production of test packages parallel to regular production. The 3-colour LEDs at the spinning positions show the operator precisely which spin-ning positions are producing in PilotGroup mode. Your high productivity level is thus assured even during your spinning trials. You can optimise spin-ning and winding parameters at any time to your advantage.

PATENTED BY SCHLAFHORST

Produce the best fancy yarns with Fancynation Transform yarn ideas quickly and reliably into fin-ished product! The Fancynation option creates the production data from your concept at the touch of a button. With the BD 6 you spin high-quality fancy yarns at high take-up speeds on long machines.

Benchmark for quality

Piecing technologies that lead the field Even the basic model of the BD 6 offers a piecing technology with digital key components in Mas-terPiecing. Premium quality and record-breaking efficiency are guaranteed by the Autocoro tech-nology DigiPiecing: maximum precision through entirely digital control, from sliver intake to yarn take-off.

PATENTED BY SCHLAFHORST

Digital yarn clearing with patented quality monitoringCorolab technology ensures perfect yarn and piecings on the BD. Corolab Q2 guarantees relia-ble clearing of thick and thin places and unsuita-ble piecings. Corolab F2 additionally eliminates foreign fibres from the yarn. A new digital quality monitoring feature with 3-colour LED on the wind-ing head signals exactly how much yarn the op - erator must remove from the package to ensure that only perfect yarn is wound on.
