Spotlight
Sustainability.
Sustainability has been a focus at Saurer for decades.
Saving resources is enormously important to us when
developing new machines, technologies and upgrades.
Our machines are optimised for the processing of
sustainable fibre materials. Benefit from these features
in the future when you use sustainable fibres to give
textiles a second life.

E3: Our development philosophy

The needs of our customers are our top
priority. With every new or further
development, we pay attention to
reducing energy consumption, increas-
ing efficiency and improving ergonom-
ics. The E³ philosophy underlies all our
designs and our smart solutions provide
added value to customers.

With the transformation of the textile

industry for the Circular Economy, the
processing of sustainable fibres is
another important focus point in our
developments.

automation.

Ne 16 weaving
Use up to 10% less energy
The technology for the vacuum system and
vacuum distribution in the machine has been
completely redesigned to make rotor spinning Ne 6 weaving
with the Autocoro 11 even more energy-efficient.
There are also new energy-saving modules in the 110 000 120 000 130 000 140 000 150 000

Transparent energy information

for each yarn package
Energy monitoring provides a transparent carbon
footprint for each lot and each kilogram of yarn.
The energy demand data is stored in the
Informator of Autocoro 11, where it can be
retrieved at any time and is verifiable for
the yarn buyers.

Less fibre loss

The fibre beard supports of the new SE 21 spin
box can be lengthened or shortened by simply
clipping them on and off. The speeds of the
opening roller can be precisely matched to the
sustainable fibres. This ensures the desired
quality and keeps the fibres in the yarn.
12 Saurer Autocoro

Recycled fibres with a particularly

large number of short fibres and
an extremely high dust content
are the perfect playground for
the Autocoro 11 with the
Recycling Xtreme edition.

Better sorting – better reuse

The Autocoro 11 uses the new three-chamber
system to strictly sort all waste from the spinning
process into fibres, yarn remnants and dirt. This
ensures maximum recycling of waste.

More productivity with new rX yarn guide drive

A cleaner spinning environment can be achieved
with the new patented rX yarn guide drive unit
with new design and self-cleaning systems. In
combination with the new dust-repellent spinbox
design and special opening roller cap coating,
the result speaks for itself: Higher productivity, at
least 100 times longer manual cleaning intervals
and dust-free packages with straight flanks.
Autocoro 13

Better yarns
with new patented rotor cleaning system
With new patented rotor cleaning based on
digitally controlled linear motor technology, up to
eight new doffing cleaning units (DCUs) help to
achieve better yarn quality. A new movement
mode of the cleaning scraper is integrated, the
positioning of the scraper in the rotor groove is
more precise and much more efficient. This
removes even the most stubborn contamination
in the rotor, a clear plus when processing
sustainable fibres.

More efficiency with new dirt channel cleaning

The machine environment is increasingly polluted
by dust and fibre residue, especially when spinning
recycled yarns. The Autocoro 11 with the Recycling
Xtreme edition removes these fragments in a
targeted manner. The dirt channels are cleaned in
several places simultaneously. The spin boxes
remain clean and efficiency increases, while the
manual maintenance effort decreases.

Leading automation

Synchropiecing 60 for high productivity

60 parallel piecing processes speed up even long
Autocoro 11 machines with 816 spinning units from
a downtime to the highest efficiency in continu-
ous production in less than 5 minutes. Synchro-
piecing 60 decouples fibre quality and high
productivity. Yarn breaks due to variations in fibre
quality are reduced and an adjustment of the
production speed is no longer necessary. The
machine efficiency remains high for all spinning
constellations.

18 Saurer Autocoro

Digitally controlled quality

Digital tube control

The new Digitube digital, barcode-controlled
tube monitoring guarantees 100% identical lot
packages. Tube and package mix-ups are a thing
of the past. The barcode control is suitable for
plain as well as coloured and patterned tubes,
which means that operators benefit maximally
from digital security on the one hand and do not
need to renounce visual colour tube recognition
on the other hand.

Save on costs with digital winding

Autocoro 11 packages manufactured with
Digiwinding have straight flanks and are up to
10% heavier with the same diameter. They
increase the efficiency in weaving and knitting
and save logistics costs for the spinning mill. This
means freight costs are also reduced when they
are shipped in sea freight containers.
 Autocoro 19

More efficiency with digitalisation

Machine efficiency visualised digitally
The Autocoro 11 digitally visualises all tasks at a
glance simultaneously for all machines. The new
LED technology on all four sides of the machine
shows the operator whether there is potential for
optimisation and whether the packages need to
be cleared. This increases the machine's
efficiency without additional processes in a
convenient and targeted manner.
20 Saurer Autocoro

More flexibility with digitalisation

Flexible Multilot technology

With Multilot digital lot management, the
Autocoro 11 spins up to 5+1 lots simultaneously.
The integrated colour sensor in the Autocoro 11
ensures the desired tube colour for each lot. In
combination with Digitube digital barcode-con-
trolled tube identification, the tubes can also be
marked with a wide variety of patterns, an
additional convenience for operating personnel in
the spinning mill as well as in the downstream
processes of knitting and weaving.

Convenient tube feeding

Multigate makes tube insertion even easier and
faster. Operators are guided visually so every
sleeve is in the right place.
