Zinser 351 C3 for the best compact quality all the way
> Greatest application range - compact spinning for almost all fiber types and blends
> Reliable compacting with the self-cleaning compact unit
> Impressive compact quality with high strength and low hairiness
> Development of new textile products with yarn engineering
> Advantages and cost savings in the downstream process stages
Compact spinning throughout the entire raw material range
CompACT3 is a synonym for the three decisive factors in compact spinning: Flexibility, reliability and economic efficiency.
The flexibility factor is crucially important here. Other compact spinning technologies are generally restricted
by the process to a very narrow raw material range.
to all major ring spinning qualities and counts with the Zinser CompACT3.
Self-cleaning compact technology
This advantage is made possible by the innovative Zinser compact technology which is based on a classic 3-roller drafting system and the Zinser CompACT3 unit. This combination ensures the best operating safety. The Zinser CompACT3 unit, consisting of the guiding elements, perforated apron, fibre supports, top roller and negative pressure aggregate, provides high-quality compact yarn.
Self-cleaning CompACT3 technology by Zinser guarantees that compacting is reliable and perfect at all times. Continuous, personnel-intensive monitoring is not necessary.
Your advantage: The CompACT3 technology is self-cleaning. This significantly reduces your personnel outlay and ensures you always have reliable and perfectly compacted yarn, metre by metre.
Elegant yarn character
The special character of the yarn is discernible right up to the end product, e.g. due to its greater lustre or a more intensive colour contrast in coloured patterned fabrics. The unusual feel and the elegant appearance of the compact yarn increases the quality of the end product - palpably and visibly.
New textile products
In addition to the chance of achieving significant cost savings in downstreaming processing stages, there is also the opportunity to use yarn engineering with the Zinser 351 C3, i.e. to develop new textile products.
New application areas can be opened up. The wide range of carded compact yarns, as well as compact yarns from manmade fibres and blends of cotton/man-made fibres, can be easily produced with the Zinser 351 C3.
More efficient downstream processing
Compact spinning creates a new yarn structure with high strength and very low hairiness. The textile properties of the CompACT3 yarn provide significant advantages in the downstream process stages such as weaving preparation and weaving, as well as in knitting.
Powerful drive technology for peak productivity
> Yarn count and twist set precisely and easily at the EasySpin touchscreen
> Very short yarn lot changes, high flexibility > Precise, synchronous running of all spindles
> Higher speeds thanks to high-performance
spindles with optimum running behaviour
> Only at Zinser: SynchroDraft, the double drive for extra-long machines
> Economic technology for lower energy consumption and less wear
Fast lot changing with EasySpin
The controlled drafting system drive ServoDraft enables fast lot changing times and therefore utmost flexibility. Changing the yarn count and twist is made easily and quickly at the EasySpin touchscreen of the machine. Twist and draft can be infinitely set.
ServoDraft thinks with you and secures your quality The closed control circuit ensures that the pre-set draft is precisely maintained. ServoDraft checks the set values for plausibility and consistency before they are used by the machine control system. This prevents yarn breaks and faults. Production data can be stored and called up at any time.
Longer service life with OptiMove
Another technological highlight is the separate electric roving guide drive OptiMove. Aprons and top rollers are subject to uniform strain across the entire traversing width with OptiMove. Wear is reduced and service life is increased significantly. The roving guide drive is easily set using inductive proximity switches.
High speeds with Zinser high-performance spindles You can take full advantage of the productivity potential in your machine with Zinser spindles. The precise and highly stable bearing technology in particular ensures absolute running smoothness at top speeds. The spindles are economic thanks to their lower energy consumption, require little maintenance and have a long service life.
Double power in draft system for extra-long ring spinning machines
SynchroDraft is the name of the powerhouse for extra-long ring spinning machines with up to 1680 spindles. The middle bottom rollers are driven from both sides. The drafting system drive is optimally synchronised.
SynchroDrive – synchronous operation of all spindles, uniform twist in yarn
SynchroDrive ensures precise, synchronous operation of the spindles - a prerequisite for the lowest possible twist variations in the spun yarn. The unique Zinser multi-motor
drive system also is performance-optimised for lower energy consumption.
Automatically more productive
Doffing with Zinser CoWeMat –
precise, secure, reliable
The most productive doffing technology on the market
> Optimal doffing automation solutions for standalone and linked machines
> Peak efficiency thanks to maximised operating security
> Reduced personnel requirements with CoWeFeed – unsorted tube feeding – only from Zinser
> Fully automated doffing with monitoring – well under 2 minutes
> Top yarn quality thanks to yarn-protecting
transport with pneumatic outer grippers
> Optimised transport times in combination with the BobbinTray, reserves even for long machines
Secure automation for more productivity
The Zinser CoWeMat has proven itself around the world as the most reliable and economic doffing technology.
The doffing speed is clearly set up for operational safety. Because the most important thing in your spinning mill is how many kilos yarn is actually produced at the end of the shift: Day by day, machine by machine, lot by lot.
Precision from the centre
The frequency-controlled centre drive ensures absolute synchronous operation of the two doffing bars – for peak, proven operational safety. Efficiency is significantly increased.
Complete monitoring, reliable doffing
A light barrier monitors the smooth doffing processes. In the case of a malfunction, the machine stops automatically and signals the interruption.
Yarn-protecting bobbin transport
Pneumatic outer grippers with a wide catching radius grasp the bobbins and tubes securely and precisely at the tube tip. The three-point grip at the tip prevents damage to the yarn body. The outer grippers are also highly suitable for yarns with high tensile strengths in combination with the Zinser spindle cutting technology.
Even faster with CoWeMat 395 F and unsorted tube feeding
The Zinser CoWeMat 395 F takes over even more work in stand-alone machines. CoWeFeed can take the unsorted empty tubes and discharges them into the feed container of the ring spinning machine.
CoWeFeed takes the tubes automatically from the tube container with an ascending conveyor belt. The empty tubes are automatically aligned in the machine so that they can be placed reliably into the BobbinTrays. CoWeFeed significantly minimises machine operating outlay and eliminates manual tube sorting in boxes. The efficiency of the machine is increased by the reliability of the system.
CoWeFeed is particularly attractive for extra-long machines with 1680 spindles. Remove of bobbins and feeding of empty tubes is easily implemented between two doffings as the cycle times are very fast.
Zinser CoWeMat 395 V – the combined solution for more economic efficiency
The CoWeMat 395 V is a complete doffing and transport system, suitable for linked systems with all commercial winding machines. The Zinser BobbinTray system transports bobbins and empty tubes without contact, thus ensuring high Zinser yarn quality.
The individually guided, round BobbinTrays and the conveyor belt ensure precise positioning during doffing and a quick, safe material flow.
Intuitive operation for constant high yarn quality
> Easy operation thanks to uniform, transparent and intuitive menu structure
> Language-independent menu structure with images and symbols
> Article data archive for easy machine setting > Higher productivity with OptiStep
> Increased traveller service life with OptiStep
> Increased traveller service life and reduced operator input with OptiStart
The right settings – quickly and precisely for optimal spinning results
The Zinser Modular Concept 351 ring spinning machines are so safe and easy to operate that you can rely at all times on the best spinning results. The operator is guided step
by step through the setting process on the easy to use EasySpin touchscreen. The clearly structured interface is easy to understand.
The menu structure is uniform and designed to be language-independent with images and symbols – operation is self-explanatory. Your personnel will intuitively understand the system after a short learning phase.
Rapid return to production with easy troubleshooting
EasySpin also provides your personnel with intelligent assistance in troubleshooting so that the malfunction is rapidly resolved and production can continue.
Article data archive for rapid access
You gain in flexibility with the EasySpin article data archive – you can store up to 10 different yarn lots per machine and call them up at any time. This reduces set-up times to a minimum. You can, therefore, reproduce any yarn lot at any time with the identical quality.
Even more flexible with the Zinser Memory Card In addition, any amount of lots can be stored on Zinser
Memory Cards and transferred from one Zinser ring spinning machine to another.
Convenient and cost-saving: OptiStart, the automatic ring traveller running-in program
The automatic ring traveller running-in programme OptiStart (optional) reliably and precisely executes the individual running-in phases of the ring travellers up to production speed. This significantly increases traveller service lives and relieves your personnel.
Higher speeds with OptiStep
Ensure maximum productivity with OptiStep. The start-up, tip and main spinning speeds can be defined with a 10 point speed curve. This means you can operate far closer to the technological spinning limit across the entire bobbin build and achieve peak production. The traveller service life is also extended. Layer control is also available as an option.

Save resources, increase productivity
OptiSuction – the intelligent negative pressure
system saves energy wherever possible
Save energy with OptiSuction
> Intelligent control circuit – only produces the
exact amount of negative pressure required
> Optimal adaptation of negative pressure to the article
> Increased efficiency
> Easy set-up of negative pressure value
centrally at the EasySpin touchscreen
> Negative pressure aggregate for CompACT3, also with energy-optimised OptiSuction technology
Intelligent control circuit saves resources
The controlled single tube suction system of the Zinser 351 always produces the precise negative pressure that is required, saving valuable energy. A control circuit with negative pressure sensor and frequency-controlled motor continuously adapts the negative pressure to the pre-set value for the article.
The energy savings are highest with an empty filter box as the fan speed and negative pressure are the lowest at this time.
Precise setting with EasySpin
Settings can be implemented easily and comfortably at the EasySpin touchscreen. Production is not only more economic, it is also safer as the negative pressure is always optimally adjusted for the respective yarn properties. Constant negative pressure across the entire bobbin build is ensured with this closed control circuit.
OptiSuction also with Zinser CompACT3
The compact spinning machine Zinser 351 C3 also has a second negative pressure aggregate for compacting, also with the energy-optimised and controlled OptiSuction system.

System
Online production monitoring, increasing productivity
> Detecting and rectifying yarn breaks faster > Material savings with roving stop
> Avoidance of machine damage by preventing lapping
> Less personnel costs with higher spindle assignments
> Optimised productivity across the entire spinning mill
Detecting and rectifying yarn breaks faster
Increase the productivity of your spinning mill with an optional automated production monitoring system. So that yarn breaks cause the least possible damage.
The electronic eye: FilaGuard
The individual yarn monitor FilaGuard monitors the rotation of the steel ring travellers of each individual spindle and detects each yarn break immediately. Optical signals indicate the specific yarn break, effectively relieving operating personnel workloads. The problem can be rapidly rectified.
Roving stop RovingGuard prevents material losses and lapping
The automatic roving stop RovingGuard interrupts the roving feed in the area of the drafting system if there is a yarn break. The reaction occurs within milliseconds. Material loss is minimised and dangerous lapping is prevented.
Increase the productivity of your entire spinning mill – with DataGuard and RingPilot
The actual production situation of the ring spinning machine is constantly changing. Numerous influences determine the future quality of the yarn. The yarn breakage frequency is an indication of the actual production situation. Zinser offers the DataGuard system as an extended process data acquisition system for permanent monitoring of the production process.
DataGuard collects and summarises the information which is then visualised in EasySpin. The data from all the production machines in the spinning mill can be summarised and visualised with the Zinser RingPilot.

Success through know-how
To enjoy success, you need to keep the entire process in view. Oerlikon Schlafhorst is your strong partner with a process chain competence second to none. With us, you can find the right contact for your requirements: Whether technical, technological or process-wide, from the fibre via the yarn up to the premium-quality package.
High-tech from Germany
You obtain innovative Oerlikon Schlafhorst state-of-the-art technology with the Modular Concept 351 ring spinning machines. All components are manufactured with the highest possible precision. Technologically important components such as spindles and drafting system components are from our own production in Germany.
Decoupled construction ensures the best running conditions
Doffer forces do not affect the machine. The intermediate stands absorb the creel forces without negatively affecting the drafting system.
Precise manufacturing, precise yarn
The intermediate stands are made from cast iron and therefore form a stable foundation for the machine frame. The cast iron intermediate stands are produced at the same time as the mountings for the yarn guiding element guide units. These parts are therefore produced with excellent fit accuracy, also ensuring that the machine frames are perfectly aligned. This achieves utmost precision for the movement of the yarn guiding elements.
The spindle rails are also manufactured from solid cast iron like the intermediate stands. The vibration-damping properties of cast iron have a positive effect on the running behavior of the ring spinning machines and therefore on the yarn quality.
Precise spinning geometry for top yarn quality due to separate guidance of the yarn guide elements The yarn guiding element drive is provided by a programme-controlled motor. The bobbin build with winding length, traverse length and displacement can be centrally and precisely specified at the EasySpin touchscreen and can be quickly and easily optimised.
The precise guidance of the yarn guiding elements is supported by precision guides on all intermediate stands. These guide elements are low-maintenance and are characterised by a long service life. The precise position of each individual yarn guiding element is therefore ensured. The spinning tension is kept constant by precisely matched movements, which in turn has a positive effect on the running behaviour of the ring spinning machines.
