• April 01, 2026

In a spinning industry where productivity, space efficiency and energy optimisation define competitiveness, Pongalur Pioneer Textiles has commissioned fourteen LRJ 90 Series ring frames from LMW Limited, each configured with 2400 spindles with 65 mm gauge. The total addition of 33,600 spindles sets a new global benchmark in modern ring spinning.

A strategic expansion – Not just a machine installation

Pongalur Pioneer Textiles, with about 1.4 lakh spindles, is known for its focus on premium combed compact yarns and strong process discipline are aimed to:

ü  Increase output per machine

ü  Improve productivity per square meter

ü  Reduce infrastructure intensity

ü  Enhance energy efficiency and to

ü  Maintain uncompromised yarn quality

Ring Frame LRJ 90 – The Engineering Differentiator

What truly differentiates is the breakthrough engineering innovation in achieving the longest Ring frame that redefines mills economics mainly on OPEX, Higher productivity with lesser UKG and consistency in quality.

ü  2400 spindles, with 65 mm gauge

ü  Smart spinning geometry enabling better twist flow, increase in spindle speeds upto 1500 to 2000 rpm with lesser end breaks.

ü  Rugged design of spindle rail ensures higher speeds with less vibration

ü  8% higher productivity & 8% space savings.

ü  Up to 10% power savings with HLED spindles + HK RYC along with lower vibration and sound.

ü  Rugged design of Head stock, drafting drive with Quadro T flex and dual drive ensures torsion free drafting load and production of slub yarns.

ü  New Energy efficient suction system – stationary pneumafil suction system equipped with AWES group suction as an option & Compact suction.

ü  Auto doffer: Peg movement - 4 pegs / stroke & pegs / min in the range of 45 – 50

ü  Longer maintenance intervals due to design of gripper rail up & down movement (Similar technology used in Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machines)

ü  Savings in OPEX – Building cost, Humidification and Lightening & Operator fatigue.

ü  Least cost per kilogram of yarn produced

ü  With optimal design of drives & rigid construction, the 65 mm gauge Ring frame achieves an at par performance with regular Ring frame with respect to Ballon control, Fly generation and Heat loads.  30,000 rpm is practically possible due to the above features.

Performance from the Mill Floor - Innovative Engineering at an Unprecedented Scale

ü  Stable high-speed running

ü  Improved manpower utilization

ü  Reduced operator movement (two-side operation concept)

ü  Faster stabilization during commissioning

ü  Optimized auxiliary and winding investment

What truly differentiates is the breakthrough engineering innovation in achieving the longest Ring frame that redefines mills economics mainly on OPEX, Higher productivity with lesser UKG and consistency in quality.
