Swiss Review

Spoerry & Co AG: Swiss Tradition and innovation for over 130 years
 
Based in Flums, Switzerland, Spoerry is the world’s leading company in the field of fine and ultra-fine yarns and manufactures 200 different kinds of world class quality yarns. This article is based on Yarn humidification, twist relaxation, double conditioning and the benefits/and use of the XO-Steaming Process by Xorella AG.

 For the Spoerry Management team, innovation alone is not enough. The Company continuously searches for an intuitive understanding of the way the market develops and fashion trends. According to Spoerry “New innovative textile creations can only be developed in close co-operation with leading fashion houses and processors, a prerequisite for turning innovation into success. Striving for close partnership in the textile chain all the way to the final consumer is a logical consequence of the company’s philosophy. In fact, without these partnerships Spoerry would not exist today - Our co-operation with the Swiss company XORELLA is an example of our company’s philosophy!”

SPOERRY & Co AG, a privately owned Swiss company, has been spinning the finest cotton yarns since 1866. The company’s extraordinary innovative power is based on 130 years of accumulated know-how, state-of-the-art machinery and equipment as well as a highly skilled and motivated workforce. For the Spoerry Management team, innovation alone is not enough.

Word leader in ultra fine count spinning

Renowned for its unique production methods and products, Spoerry is the world’s leading company in the field of fine and ultra-fine yarns.Spoerry manufactures more than 200 different world-class quality yarn products. This requires a high degree of flexibility, both in the market and with regard to fashion trends.

Swiss quality, precision, and reliability secure SPOERRY a place under the world’s best manufacturers.

In co-operation with Rieter AG, Spoerry helped pioneer Compact spinning process fit for production, thus achieving a major breakthrough for the traditional ring spinning process.

Innovative power leads to success

The innovation power of the company is manifested in uniquely designed and engineered technical yarns such as Swiss Shield, a yarn with a metal core of .02 mm diameter, which is successfully used to provide a highly effective shield against low-frequency electrical fields and high-frequency electromagnetic rays (electro smog).

To accomplish extraordinary textile yarns, Spoerry selects ultimate quality raw materials such as Egypt’s very best Giza 45 ELS, and Sea Island Cotton wool. The company is also renowned for its capability in super fine Coreyarn manufacturing.

With “Sensual Nm 250”, the cotton yarn spinning mill produces the world’s finest elastic cotton yarn.

The NOBLETWIN brand is a new generation of unique yarns produced with the company’s own proprietary spinning technology, replacing conventional two-ply yarn without compromising the supreme quality of the product.

State-of-the-art machinery and talented work force

Spoerry operates 40,000 ring spindles with state-of-the-art technology to master the production of small lots within a yarn count range of Nm 50–500. The Swiss yarn producer with its 145 uniquely talented employees has carved out a market segment, where it successfully operates in.

Yarn conditioning, an important final step in yarn production

Correct yarn conditioning has an important impact on the quality improvement of cotton yarns. It has been established that the strength and elongation properties increase with moisture content of the yarn. This effect is explained by the fact that an increase in the moisture content results in increased swelling of the fiber and in addition of the increase in fiber strength and fiber elongation values, in a higher fiber-to-fiber friction in the yarn. This is well documented in an USTER Tensojet 4 scatter plot diagram of conditioned versus unconditioned yarn.

Conditioning at higher temperature also reduces the liveliness and torque in yarns, improving the process efficiency in any subsequent process.

Spoerry recognizes the quality improvements achieved through yarn conditioning. All yarns produced pass through a specially designed XORELLA conditioning process.

Due to the very fine yarn counts produced with extra fine cotton fiber, Spoerry has engineered a conditioning process especially geared to quality improvement and consistency of treatment for its products.

The final conditioning process is fully automatically handled, with yarns being treated on pallets.

The unique material-handling solution enables Spoerry to treat each pallet twice with a precise cool-down period in between the two cycles.

1.         Feeding station
2.         Scale with roller section
3.         Buffer zone
4.         XO SELECT
5.         Intermediate storage
8.         Cool-down storage
7.         Roller conveyors and pallet orienter
8.         Transfer conveyor section
9.         Labeler with auto glue station
10.       Stretch wrapper
11.       Final exit conveyor
 

 Extraordinary XORELLA conditioning treatment leads to unmatched quality improvement of the finished yarn cones.
