J 70, Rieter’s New Air Jet Spinning, at Low Yarn Conversion Cost
Rieter, one of the leading suppliers in the world market in the field of textile machinery and components used in short fiber yarn production, presented the J 70 air-jet spinning machine, the latest solution for low yarn conversion cost at ITMA 2023.
Rieter CEO Thomas Oetterli shared information about the J 70 air-jet spinning machine and the other products they introduced at the fair at the press conference. He said: “I J 70 air-jet spinning machine is a technology which is creating high productivity. With such a high-speed machine, the energy needed for a kilogram of yarn is very low. This helps in terms of sustainability too.”
Oetterli said Rieter machinery is mainly used in China but believes that the J 70 will become a technology that will also be used in the Western part of the world in the future. “Labour shortages become more and more of an issue. This technology requires less manpower, enabling spinning machine owners to run their spinning mills with less labour,” he added.
J 70 – air-jet spinning at low yarn conversion costs enables spinning mills to achieve an unprecedented low level of production costs per kilogram of yarn, coupled with high flexibility and reliability. In combination with high productivity, the unique yarn characteristics such as low hairiness and low pilling tendency will contribute to strong growth of this spinning segment in the coming years.
Rieter’s new technology portfolio advances its systems approach by incorporating intelligence and engineering performance. Customers can now capitalize on more market opportunities and produce more economically. Cost savings as well as improvements in quality and efficiency help spinning mills increase their competitiveness.
Innovations in digitization and automation enable greater performance alongside minimal expenditure of resources. Rieter’s After Sales services provide sustainable repair solutions, upgrades, and performance optimizations to help customers reduce their ecological footprint. Key components from Accotex, Bräcker, Graf, Novibra, Suessen and Temco are what make the difference in the economic efficiency of spinning mills.

Rieter’s other innovations unveiled at ITMA include the following products:
ESSENTIALoptimize – optimization across the entire system
The new ESSENTIALoptimize module of the Rieter Digital Spinning Suite brings the digital technologist into the spinning mill. It links data from the individual machines and increases efficiency in the entire spinning system.
For instance, the Ring-Winder-Connect module continuously optimizes the process between the ring spinning machine G 38 and the winding machine Autoconer X6. This module compares and analyzes data from both machines. ESSENTIALoptimize supplies this data in the context of other performance metrics. Ring-Winder-Connect saves valuable raw material and keeps yarn quality within defined parameters.
The industry’s first fully automated piecing robot: ROBOspin
Rieter has expanded its portfolio in terms of automation. ROBOspin, the industry’s first fully automated piecing robot, is now also available for compact-spinning machines.
Sewing thread finish winder Thread King III by SSM – maximum efficiency
SSM launched the third generation of the renowned sewing thread finish winder Thread King. The perfect combination of efficiency and sustainability offers considerable added value for customers. Contributing factors are the shorter production cycle, easier yarn thread-up, reduced machine footprint and lower power consumption.
It enables high-quality ring and compact yarns from challenging raw material.
Recycling – high proportion of recycled content, good yarn quality
Sustainable yarns made from recycled fibers are in high demand. Com4recycling is the Rieter system that enables customers to produce fine, high-quality ring and compact yarns from challenging raw material. This holds true even with a relatively high proportion of mechanically recycled cotton fibers.
High Production Rates and Excellent Sliver Quality, the New Card C 81
C 81 – outstanding carding quality thanks to intelligent sensors
With both high production rates and excellent sliver quality, the new card C 81 gives spinning mills a strong position in the market. Intelligent sensors make this possible by setting the carding gap to the ideal size and monitoring the contaminant content in real time.
Supergrinder pro from Bräcker – on the path to breaking records
The supergrinder pro, a fully automated single-axis grinding machine, can simultaneously load, check, grind, unload, and sort cots within less than seven seconds. This is made possible thanks to its unique design with an automated tool turret. With a production output of 520 rollers per hour, supergrinder pro is a must for any spinning mill.
New draw frames – maximum efficiency with recycled material Rieter launched a completely new generation of draw frames: the single-head autoleveler draw frame RSB-D 55 and the SB-D 55 without autoleveler as well as the doublehead autoleveler draw frame RSB-D 27 and the SB-D 27 without autoleveler. The machines enable spinning mills to achieve the highest quality, productivity, and efficiency, even when processing recycled fibers.
