Truetzschler TD 10 – The quality filter in the spinning mill

In the spinning mill, the draw frame has an important task: Preventing errors in the sliver which inevitably lead to yarn defects. Yarn quality is determined by the sliver quality that the draw frame delivers. For this reason, Truetzschler has further optimized levelling in the new draw frame model TD 10 and thus once again set a benchmark in draw frame technology.

Success of new draw frame generation

In 2015, Truetzschler introduced a new generation of drawing machines with the launch of TD 8. Since then it has been widely recognized and received a lot of appreciation from customers. Customers see great benefits in:

Simple setting and easy operation
Low failure rate and simple maintenance
Even in high-speed production, good evenness can be achieved

Next generation: The TD10

Based on TD 8, Truetzschler launched the next generation model TD 10. The new draw frame does not only set a benchmark for compactness, it also offers more comfort for the operator and spinning mill manager.

TD 10 main advantages:

The structure is more compact and occupies less space. Its length is shortened by 14.2%.
The suction system is extremely energy-saving. Its suction negative pressure is - 450Pa, that is, the suction capacity of 800 m3/h. It saves 53% of the air suction capacity compared with the same equipment.
The new individual sliver sensors in SMART CREEL, which is equipped with a single servo drive, reliably detect sliver breaks. The optical sensor can make a distinction between motionless sliver, no sliver and running sliver. Thus, a 100% accuracy of broken slicer detection can be ensured.
Thanks to the newly modified drive concept, the TD 10 has the smallest number of belts in the market. Maintenance free, only the bottom roll bearings in the drafting system require relubrication.

Vortex Spinning with TD 10

In recent years, the vortex spinning market has been developing rapidly. Mr. Lu Jian, Senior Sales Manager of Truetzschler Textile Machinery Shanghai, recalled: "In 2009, the first batch of China's vortex spinning was put into operation. Back then, many spinning mills believed that as long as the best vortex spinning machine was equipped, the spinning preparation equipments were not important. However, after several years of production practice, it has been proofed wrong. Compared with ring spinning, vortex spinning has a higher requirement on the quality of the sliver, because it affects the efficiency of the vortex spinning machine and the spinning speed.”

Truetzschler’s solution

For a high parallelization in airjet spinning, three draw frame passages have been the only way to achieve good quality until now. Today, the combination of the card with the Integrated Draw Frame IDF 2 allows a significant process reduction. This process shortening by two complete process steps opens up an enormous savings potential.

Mrs. Zhenzhen, Marketing Manager at Truetzschler in China says: “We are very proud that we could present a complete new step in airjet spinning preparation with the process shorting of the IDF VORTEX SPINNING process. It’s an answer to the increasingly tense market situation due to permanent cost pressure and with regards to the availability of well-trained employees at the mills. The introduction of the IDF VORTEX SPINNING process was only possible because of state-of-the-art technologies of Truetzschler draw frames.”

Perfect quality through collaboration: Machinery from Trützschler, Toyota and Murata at Zirve Tekstil

In today’s textile industry, excellence is not achieved by chance – it’s the result of deliberate decisions, technical expertise, and the courage to go beyond conventional paths. The Turkish company Zirve Tekstil has done just that: by combining the best technologies from Trützschler, Toyota and Murata, they’ve created a production setup that delivers outstanding yarn quality – recognized worldwide.

Details matter: How Trützschler cylinder wires boost efficiency in Pakistan’s spinning sector

Pakistan’s textile industry, especially its spinning sector, is the backbone of the national economy and a vibrant hub of innovation. Today’s spinning mills face growing demands for efficiency, quality, and sustainability. From the serene northern valleys to the vibrant port city of Karachi in the south, mills like Suraj Cotton Mills, Liberty, and Nishat Chunian are turning to advanced solutions.

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.

Pre-Cleaner CL-X: The future of cotton cleaning

What if the future of cotton cleaning was already here – setting a new standard for cleaning efficiency, productivity and energy savings? That future has a name: CL-X. Since its market launch in 2022, the Pre-Cleaner CL-X has become a true bestseller, proving its value in several hundred customer applications worldwide. Now, new results from Türkiye demonstrate again how the Pre-Cleaner CL-X outperforms the competition.

DIENES at Techtextil 2026: Flexible pilot lines for bio-based fiber development

The growing relevance of bio-based materials in technical textiles is accompanied by increasing demands for reproducibility, high-quality data, and scalable process routes. Especially when working with cellulose and its derivatives, chitosan, lignin-based approaches, or bio-based PAN as a carbon-fiber precursor, R&D teams face variable feedstock quality, tighter process windows, and the need for reliable comparability across trials. This calls for flexible, data-driven experimental setups that can be reconfigured efficiently when recipes, solvents, and raw-material batches change.
