Used Yarn Spinning Machines
Atkins Machinery buys and sells used yarn preparation/spinning machines from major names like Trutzschler Rieter, Schlafhorst, and Murata. Over the past 40 years we've helped spinning mills cut equipment costs while keeping output steady for everything from apparel and home textiles to technical fabrics.
Our inventory turns over regularly and usually includes both individual machines and complete spinning lines. You'll find ring spinning frames suited for finer counts and stronger yarns, as well as open-end rotor systems that work well for higher-volume, coarser production. Most units come ready for delivery and installation after inspection and any needed reconditioning.
Why mills turn to pre-owned spinning equipment
- Lower upfront investment compared with new machines, while still getting solid performance.
- Equipment that has been inspected and reconditioned as necessary, with sourcing from mills around the world.
- Options that match different fiber types — cotton, synthetics, blends — and the yarn counts your operation needs.
- Shorter lead times so you can get back into production faster.
Common types we handle
- Ring Spinning Machines (examples include Rieter G33 models): Good choice when you need even, strong yarn with low hairiness, especially for premium fabrics and finer counts.
- Open-End Rotor Spinning Machines (such as Schlafhorst ACO series): Known for high speeds on coarser yarns, along with lower energy use and simpler labor demands.
- Other systems appear from time to time, including air-jet or friction spinning, plus twisters and supporting preparation equipment.

What these machines deliver
Well-maintained spinning equipment helps produce consistent yarn with better tensile strength and productivity. Ring spinning continues to set the standard for many high-end applications, while rotor spinning offers strong efficiency for larger runs. Re-using quality machines also makes practical sense for keeping reliable assets in service longer.
How we work
We handle everything from single machines to full plant liquidations. That includes appraisals, refurbishment coordination, and shipping to locations worldwide. If you're interested in a particular model, we can usually provide detailed specs, photos, or arrange for you to inspect the equipment.
