SKAAT® was founded in 2001 by Mr. Radhakrishnan. Since then it has become one of the largest privately owned company in fancy segments in India. A net work of subsidiaries and international sales and support around the world guarantees global know how at a local level.

Available solution and tailor made mechanism for individual spinning machine greatly contribute to many spinning mill’s success. Continual innovations guarantee SKAAT customers the competitive edge. Since the company’s founding, all innovations and investments have concentrated on one core area that is solutions for fancy spinning.

PERFECTION IN FANCY

We take various surveys in different occasion about people mentality in dressing sense. We know that more people are seeking changes in their fabric design and they prefer some fancy fabrics for their dress code. To fulfill their needs, we have started to manufacture some sophisticated fancy yarn attachments for spinning mills, thus SKAAT is setting a ‘Trend’ in the fancy world.

Our prime motto is “Every spinner must attain a benefit of value additions from fancy yarns without losing their production when our units are integrated”.

SKAAT DS2L

The term ‘SLUB’ is described as ‘Thick Place’ in a yarn. In slub yarn, ‘Slubs’ are deliberately created to produce a desired pattern in the yarn. By altering the slub yarn parameters such as slub diameter, slub length and yarn length or slub interval, one can produce more variety of slub yarn with different style.

Long ring frame is nothing but a ring frame having Duoflex drive at ‘OFF end’. For Duoflex drive ring frame, ‘DS2L’ model is designed for slub. In this model, middle and back bottom fluted roller of the ring frame must be splitted at the middle to provide separate drives for both the ends.

Instead of machine drive, Two Servo motors are used to drive the middle and back bottom fluted roller (one at ‘Gear end’ and another at ‘Off end’). Two sets of specially designed Servo drive, Servo motor and a sturdy SKAAT variator gear box are used to drive both ‘Gear end’ and ‘Off end’ of the ring frame independently without slippage. Drive transmission by means of ‘mechanical coupling’ at Gear end and “wheel

SKAAT DIGI 300 slub attachment is designed for any make of short ring frames up to 600 spindles. The entire drive unit and control panel is to be placed on gear end and a 15” touch industrial computer will be kept near by the machine for programming. One servomotor is used to drive the middle and back bottom roller through our specially designed SKAAT variator gear box. Drive transmission from servomotor to middle and back bottom fluted roller by means of gear to avoid slippage and unwanted jerks on machine.

SKAAT DIGI 300

In all models, two advanced digital encoders are used to monitor the speed of front roller and back roller separately which ensures that this speed ratio is always matching with servo speed to produce uniform quality of slub yarn, while the machine is running in variable spindle speed.

Back roller encoders are also act as ‘Slub missing stop motion’ which is used to stop the machine immediately whenever the slub action not taken place.

One can produce variety of fancy yarns from the above models.

• Multi Count – Different counts can occur in one yarn with the same TPI.

• Multi Twist – Different Twist can be applied with the same yarn count.

• Multi Effect – Combination of Multi Count, Multi Twist and slub effects in one yarn.

In addition to the Slub servo drive one more servomotor is introduced to drive the front fluted roller. So entire drafting

SKAAT MULTI EFFECT (TCS 4, TCS 2L & TCS 2)

drive is controlled and governed by our special software, which helps to produce variety of multi effect fancy yarn by accelerating or decelerating all three fluted rollers at a time. Count changes and count corrections can be done without wheel changes on ring frame.

Short Ring frame up to 600 spindles and medium ring frames up to 1008 spindles requires 2 Servo motors to run multi effect yarn.

Long Ring frames having Duoflex drive at ‘OFF end’ needs 3 Servo motors to run the above effect yarn.

SKAAT CORE – SOFT

In SKAAT Soft Core, advanced digital servomotor is used to drive the Lycra feed roller and the servomotor gets digitally synchronized signal from front fluted roller by a special electronic device. Feed rollers are made up of special material with antistatic coating to avoid static charges and over lapping. A display cum control unit is supplied along with soft core unit to alter the stretch and assist the yarn to get uniform Lycra content until the Lycra package exhaust. To maintain uniform Lycra content, feed roller speed is varying automatically which depends upon the Lycra package diameter so as to ensure uniform surface speed and making the constant elongation.

An effective stop motion with cutting device is provided to stop the roving wherever the Lycra material missing or exhaust. Whenever the rove is missing (or) exhausts, Lycra supply will stop by lifting the Lycra package from feed roller.

SKAAT CORE – RIGID

In SKAAT Rigid core, a special creel is supplied to hold rigid core material and its stretch is controlled by an external tensioning device. An effective stop motion with cutting device is to stop the roving whenever the core material cuts or exhausts. If the roving is missing (or) exhausts Lycra supply will stopped since both the stop motions are inter connected.

FEATURES

✓ Supervision of each filament by means of sensor control

✓ Lamp indication for missing of filament and roving

✓ Perfect and Precision insertion system always maintain the elastane fibre inside the yarn

✓ “Roving Stop motion” stops automatically the fibre flow in each spindle when a filament break detected.

✓ Touch screen interface allow to modify, regulate and store the variable data required for core yarn preparation

SKAAT CORE

✓ As core material draft is controlled by servo motor, Ring frame can be running with variable speed which results uniform core material in yarn.

Lift up device - pull and push system

SKAAT core system integrated fixed separators and flexible moving up and down carriage makes filament completely free when in Park- position. The filament cannot lap on the feed rollers and stays in waiting position, when not in use.

Pair of feed roller servo drive

The pair of feed rollers of 50mm dia are dark surface-hardened and driven by a SKAAT servo system for precision electronic draft regulation.

Roving Stop Motion

The effective roving stop motion stops automatically the fibre input when a filament break is detected. This guarantees automatic feed- in after re-start. The working principle is like turning a tongue around the input roller.

Individual filament supervision

On each spindle with integrated electronic for communication and roving stop activation. The special sensors integrated with filament gaiting rollers ensures the presence of filament.

Traversing Device

Complete new traversing rail-system activated by separate mechanical system on integrated stepper motor by processor. Co-ordinates all fibre and filament guiding elements in adjustable cycle time.

Skaat Navigator

A 5.5” industrial touch computer helps to create different draft and elongation depends upon the end use of yarn. Visualize more data’s like elongation, delivery speed, lot identification and many are in a single window.

SKAAT Core yarn system is designed on depth knowledge in converting ring frames for high quality special yarns. Soft core and Rigid core models are available for producing yarn for different application.
