The J 70 easily masters a high level of yarn breaks at high speeds, while keeping productivity stable.
With the air-jet spinning machine J 70, production costs are significantly reduced thanks to lower energy consumption and up to 50% higher fiber yield compared to the competition.
With the J 70, spinning mills are ideally equipped to exploit the growth potential in standard and blended yarns. For example, fashionable high-quality soft yarns made from polyester-cotton or polyester-viscose blends can be produced economically and efficiently with the new air-jet spinning machine J70.
