The 3-in-1 Concept:

Spinning, cleaning and knitting with one machine

No ring spinning machines required

No winding machines required

 The 3-in-1 Concept
Open up new competitive potential with us!
spinitsystems® is the innovation from Mayer & Cie. that
combines the spinning and the knitting process. Knitwear is
manufactured not from yarn but straight from the fibre roving.
The three process steps spinning, cleaning and knitting are
combined in one machine. The rewinding process that was
previously required has been eliminated. The single jersey knit-
wear production process can thus be shortened significantly!
Shortening the process means that fewer machines are
needed and capital expenditure is reduced. Significant space
and energy savings become possible, yarn storage can be
reduced and less waste is produced. Production costs overall
can be reduced considerably and the reduction in CO2
emissions makes a valuable contribution towards sustainability.
spinitsystems® – spinning, cleaning and knitting with one machine
The operating principle
Start: The process starts with fibre roving* from the spinning mill,
so-called flyer roving. It is wound onto bobbins and fixed with bobbin
holders in the top creel of the machine. It is then taken to the drafting
system. With spinitsystems® conventional roving of the kind known
in spinning mills can be processed, and in many cases no special
adjustment is required.
*Roving does not come within the scope of delivery
Spinning: The roving is drawn to a fine fibre bundle in the drafting
system. The modular, electronically controlled 3-over-3 roller drafting
system was derived from proven drafting concepts known from
short-staple spinning. The components used in the drafting system are
well-known in current spinning practice.
A twin-jet false-twist spinning unit is connected directly to the drafting
system and transports the drawn fibre bundle to the knitting unit.
When the fibre bundle exits the yarn guide the false twist disintegrates
and a fibre composite without a twist is delivered to the needles.
Furthermore, with spinitsystems® entirely new types of
unplated knitwear qualities can be manufactured. The
unique quality, the so-called Spinit Look & Feel, is a result of
the false-twist spinning process in which the fibre roving is
processed directly into knitwear. The fibres are knitted directly
into loops gently and without twisting.
High-quality single jersey knitwear is produced with totally new
properties: fabulously soft, fluffy and even, with a luxurious
sheen and without spirality after washing.
Incidentally, spinitsystems® can do much more:
with the optional Fancy Module pattern effects are possible that
do not yet exist – for you to make the difference!
Cleaning: Prior to the knitting process the roving is automatically
cleared of irregularities such as thick or thin places.
These irregularities are identified by the roving sensor in a 100%
online process and reported to the machine control. In an automated
process irregularities are eliminated and flawless knitting is then
resumed. Cleaning takes place while the machine is running so that
the machine’s productivity is decreased only marginally.
Knitting: After exiting the yarn guide attached to the spinning unit
the drawn fibre composite reaches the knitting unit’s needle area.
There it is knitted and knitwear takes shape. The knitting unit is a
conventional single jersey circular knitting machine fitted out with
Mayer & Cie.’s tried and trusted Relative Technology, which ensures an
especially gentle loop formation process.
Almost done! The raw knitwear now needs only to be wound up.
This is carried out by the trusted Mayer & Cie. trapezoidal spreader.
It winds up the knitwear and does so both powerfully and gently.
In the next step the Spinit-wear can then be moved on to the
downstream finishing and refinement process.

Well-conceived design
Spinit 3.0 E is a compact machine with the
same dimensions as a conventional circular
knitting machine.

The machine’s technology was derived from

state-of-the-art technology in spinning mills
and knitting factories. The machine’s concept
is convincing with its maximum level of
operating reliability and productivity.

Like all Mayer & Cie. machines, it is easy to

use and easy to keep clean.

Unique quality for a large number of applications

In the high-quality sector the Spinit Look & Feel makes unique
single jersey qualities that are ideal for quality applications:
fabulously soft t-shirts, fluffy baby linen and high-quality nightwear
with a luxurious sheen. These can all be made of both pure raw
materials and quality blends!

In the cost-oriented sector the Spinit 3.0 E’s 3-in-1 Concept

delivers the goods at an incredibly low cost. High-volume articles
that until now could hardly be manufactured at a profit now become
interesting once more. It is worthwhile costing them again!

In the fashion sector totally new pattern possibilities make the

difference. With the optional Fancy Module pattern effects are
possible that did not previously exist and can be put to use in fashion
collections as a decisive differentiation potential!

Fabric weights

Wide range of uses Raw materials

With the Spinit 3.0 E a wide range of fabric weights can be manu-
factured. Weights from 80 g / m2 to 200 g / m2 are possible. Some of
which can even be made from the same roving count. That makes
elaborate and expensive yarn storage superfluous, which cuts costs
and is helpful for just-in-time production too.
Along with natural fibres like cotton, synthetic fibres from the short
staple area such as viscose, modal or polyester can also be used. The
raw materials can be processed pure, such as 100 % cotton combed
or carded. In addition, blends can be processed in all standard blend
ratios. A synthetic auxiliary yarn is not required.
