India-based Rajashree Polyfil — a nylon and polyester filament yarn producer and a division of
Century Enka Ltd. — has commissioned C.A. Litzler Co. Inc. — a Cleveland-based manufacturer of
machinery including oven and drying equipment — to design and build a 80 mpm Tire Cord Dipping
Line.
Litzler reports the line offers benefits including multiple tension zones that provide
maximum flexibility for elongating or relaxing the material to meet specific processing criteria; a
line speed of 60 meters per minute (m/min) at maximum tension, with the ability to increase speed
to 80 m/min at reduced tension; speed and tension control accuracy of ±0.1 percent to achieve
control of critical material processes; and improved spreader design for better control of low
ends-per-inch fabric.
The line is the second Rajashree Polyfil has ordered from Litzler over the past three years.
