T-CAN – Revolutionizing can transport

In virtually all spinning mills, transporting sliver cans is still done manually. Rising labor costs, lack of operators and increasing quality requirements make this a growing challenge. With T-CAN, Trützschler introduces a practical solution: a fully automated can transport system that will be presented live at ITMA ASIA 2025 in Singapore.

Efficient and reliable automation

T-CAN automates the transport of sliver cans between cards, breaker draw frames, and finisher draw frames – quickly and precisely. The system combines sliver cans with automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and a smart software interface that tracks every movement and places each can exactly where it belongs.

What T-CAN delivers

T-CAN minimizes manual handling and transport, supports continuous production (also at lunch breaks and night shifts), and ensures consistent quality through reliable material allocation. Therefore, mills benefit from lower labor costs, higher machine efficiency, and improved sliver quality – all with a system that adapts to your mill, not the other way around.

“With T-CAN, we’re responding to our customers’ needs for intelligent automation. Our goal was to create a solution that not only reduces operational costs but also enhances quality and consistency in sliver handling. It’s a leap forward in making spinning mills smarter.” – Alexander Stampfer, CSO Trützschler Group.

Simple to use

Despite its advanced technology, T-CAN is easy to operate. The intuitive software interface requires only a few minutes of training and no prior expertise in robotics.

Scalable and future-ready

T-CAN is ideal for medium to large spinning mills with high output and automation goals. But thanks to its modular design, it’s also a smart choice for smaller mills looking to future-proof their processes. T-CAN is built to easily scale with your ambitions.

Proven performance

One of the first adopters of T-CAN was JINGYI, a spinning mill in Sheyang, China. After a successful pilot project, JINGYI placed an order to automate can transport for over 120 TC 26i cards and 240 draw frames. T-CAN has proven itself as a robust, reliable, and operator-friendly solution. “We were impressed by the performance and reliability of T-CAN during the pilot phase. It has significantly improved our efficiency and reduced our staffing needs. That’s why we decided to implement it across our entire carding and draw frame section.” – Mr. Peng Fujian, Deputy General Manager JINGYI Group.

STEELTOP®: A new benchmark in flat tops for spinning preparation

Modern carding generations achieve higher production performance, placing significantly greater stress on flat tops. Higher cylinder speeds and increased fiber density, combined with tighter carding gaps, create more demanding operating conditions. At the same time, poorer raw material quality and the increased use of recycled materials further intensify these challenges. With STEELTOP®, Trützschler introduces a new full steel flat top series developed for these demanding modern carding processes.
