The machine
The new generation of Elvo machines builds upon an historical know-how and a legacy of proven mechanical expertise, while introducing new accessories and devices that focus on quality monitoring, set-up speed and the exchange of functional data, contributing to the comfort of interaction between operator and machine.
Elvo features a new electronic platform and significant advancements in set-up and quality research, a crucial factor across every field of the long fibre supply chain.
1X Sensor
Continuous uniformity and weight control of the sliver. The safety of monitoring the entire production online.
Coiler
The coiler is motorised and designed for easy access to the output section. The belt can be disassembled without interfering with the coiler. (External control).
Cleaning
The brushes in the head are easier to extract. An elastic joint contributes to facilitating disassembly and motor-cylinder separation. Maintenance is streamlined and intervention times are reduced.
Disassembly
The draft group has been redesigned for easy access to key components, ensuring greater efficiency and improved drafting capability. Twin cylinder units: 32[MC1] /66mm or 25/66 mm.
Draft group accessibility
The 80mm diameter draft pressing rollers are interchangeable with the feeding cylinder. Adjustable condensers.
Defelting unit
The 2 to 4-cylinder defelting unit is used on the material after the dyeing stage or as re-breaker in the acrylic process.
Versatility
A modular technology for managing fibre treatment across both supply chains. Rely on our expertise to find the ideal configuration.
Screw head
As a universal solution, the screw head processes all types of fibre. It is particularly well-suited for extra-fine wools and noble fibres, such as cashmere, silk, alpaca, and premium blends. The Elvo screw head comes with an independent motor and the faller stroke limit is controlled directly by the motor itself. The twin unit featuring a 25-66mm cylinder ensures minimal ratches, offering precise control over even the shortest fibres.
Chain head
The new TC2 head builds on the principle of the previous TC1 version for CSN, with 144 combs, but with a 270mm-wide working field. It can handle higher loadings and maintains fibre control thanks to its 9.25mm chain pitch. With an input speed up to 100m/min, it guarantees high productivity.
Quality control
Our drafting machine is engineered to effortlessly control and manage the end-product quality. Continuous monitoring at every stage guarantees excellence without interruptions.
The result of several years of development and a partnership with the control system specialist Bianco, the Elvo drafting machine can now be equipped with an output probe that detects and, when necessary, corrects any weight deviation. Combined with the autolevel feeler unit, the probe identifies even the slightest inconsistencies and reactivates the autolevel’s self-tuning function to ensure the weight set by the operator is consistently maintained.
The output weight deviations are minimised to reduce count deviations in the spinning phase.
The same probe continuously intercepts irregular deviations and displays them on the machine’s touchscreen, complete with a diagram and the corresponding CV% value.
The output sliver quality is completely monitored, ensuring the entire production is controlled.
The diagram is displayed on the touchscreen located at the machine edge, while average data can be calculated for external interfacing.
Applications throughout the supply chain
Elvo represents the most advanced evolution in textile machinery currently available on the market. Modular and versatile, it seamlessly adapts to the needs of different supply chains.
Wool and noble fibres
Applications
Thanks to its multiple configurations, the machine can be used at various stages of the preparation process, before the combing machines, up to the 3rd passage, with 2-sliver deliveries. By analysing the process, the fibres, and the treatments involved, we can identify the most suitable set-up to achieve the desired performance.

Synthetic fibres
Applications
ELVO R is designed for use in tow-to-top lines, after the stretch breaking machine. It is the first machine in the preparation process for acrylic lines (knitwear or carpet yarns). Thanks to its high loading capacity and its numerous couplings, it can function as a blender for simple blends, such as wool and acrylic. The defelting feature makes the R model particularly effective after dyeing or special treatments, helping to restore vigor to the tops.
