technology and global service support additionally ensure that owners
enjoy the maximum benefit from their EREMA systems.
The processing of flakes from e.g. used PET bottles is a demanding tech-
nology. Special care needs to be given to flakes preparation and filtration
of the molten PET to achieve high quality yarns with high IV values.
VACUREMA® technology
EREMA‘s flexible VACUREMA® technology consists of a vacuum reac-
tor, a directly linked single-screw extruder and a high-performance filter.
Washed PET flakes are dried and decontaminated under vacuum and
high temperature within the reactor before being fed into the extruder.
The melt is forced through a fine-meshed filter and then passed to the
BCF spinning section. An expensive, conventional predryer/crystallisa-
tion/extruder system is not required.

M20 / T20
The 2-end M20 is characterised by its compact de-
sign. Due to the low installation height and mirroring
of the spinning positions, string-up is easy and quick.
This increases efficiency and minimises downtimes
and waste.
M30
With 3 ends per winder, the M30 has been devel-
oped for the areas not optimally covered by M20 or
M40. With its compact design, the M30 is designed
for fast and easy operation – and offers a high pro-
ductivity.

Winders
Trützschler offers a variety of winder configurations

when paper tubes are used multiple times.
Texturing
It is the texturing process that gives multifilament
yarns their bulkiness. Crimp formation and fixation
is performed by the proven, lamellaless and easy-to-
handle HPc texturing unit with the adjacent cooling
drum.
