High-count yarns with many single filaments and qualities with low single filament titers (so-called "low dpf" yarns) make high-quality carpets. Demand is growing, but in terms of volume, it is still niche markets.
Therefore, Trützschler Man-Made Fibers developed the MO40-E, a 4-end flexible extrusion system on the OPTIMA platform. It is a convertible machine for efficiently manufacturing both sophisticated low dpf and standard yarns in the highest qualities.

No of ends / pos: 4
No of extruders / lines: 1
No of pos / line: 1-2
Capacity / line: up to 7.5 tons/day
Spin pack type: rectangular, top loading
Spinneret sizek: 401 x 109 mm
No of ends / pack: 1
Max. filaments: up to 1,200
Titer range: 750 – 3,600 (*7,000 plied) dtex

The extended version MO40-E has a longer spinning beam with larger spin packs. The maximum number of individual filaments has thus been increased by 40 % to up to 1,200.
Nevertheless, standard yarns with up to 700 filaments can also be produced by replacing the large spin pack by a conventional MO40-C spin package with adapters.
Extruder: the extruder screws are specially designed for the respective polymer and process requirement.
Spinning: large, rectangular and top-loading spin-packs.
Drawing: double shell rolls guarantee a uniform temperature profile.
HPc texturing: excellent and very stable cripm over time.
FW11 winder: the compact unit with high transfer efficiency is fully automatic and features optional step precision winding to ensure perfect bobbins for smooth downstream processinme.
CMU: easy to use and comfortable control system based on SIEMENS.
