Dilo Group presents the new Hyperlacing technology

At the forthcoming joint exhibition of ITMA Asia and CITME in Shanghai the DiloGroup will exhibit mechanical components and textile samples from the Dilo Textile Research Centres to provide information about complete line installations comprising machines for bale opening and blending from DiloTemafa, carding or aerodynamic web forming from DiloSpinnbau, crosslapping and needling from DiloMachines.

In addition to needling other bonding technologies such as water entangling, thermo and chemical bonding are available from DiloSystems in close co-operation with well-known leading partners. Therefore, the full range of web forming and consolidation technologies is offered for complete line installations worldwide.

At booth No. B05 in hall No. W4, Dilo Group will provide general information about all kind of nonwovens. Focus will be laid on the new Hyperlacing technology first presented at the ITMA 07 show in Munich and on geotextiles which enjoy a continuing demand worldwide.

Hyperlacing is realized by the newly developed Cyclopunch units with approx. 20,000 needles/m/board. The needle barb is adapted to the fibre fineness in order to transport only one single fibre per stroke. A new kinematics moves the needle on a circular path resulting in an increase of throughput speed to more than 100 m/min.

The Hyperlacing process allows production of light-weight felts made from fine fibres at an area weight as low as approx. 30 g/m² with high throughput speeds. These products are used in the fields of medicine, hygiene, synthetic leather, interlinings and filter media.

Geotextiles are used in order to improve the economics for large infrastructure projects, road and railroad construction, dams for waterways, erosion control for sea shores. Dilo plans and supplies complete production lines. As geotextiles require an isotropic strength characteristic of MD:CD=1, a sophisticated drafting system like the Dilo VE felt drafter is essential for their quality.

In addition, Dilo will provide information about the complete range of nonwoven products and their various fields of applications. The staff of their Shanghai representation as well as the sales personnel from DiloSpinnbau, DiloMachines and DiloTemafa will be available for technical and commercial discussions at hall W4, booth B05 .
