Oerlikon Textile: Showcased innovations for market driver India

Oerlikon Textile, the leading manufacturer of textile machinery and plant, exhibited technological innovations to open up the market further.

Oerlikon Barmag: Focus on industrial yarns

In response to the burgeoning interest in the production of industrial yarn in India, the leading manmade fibre specialist is exhibiting an innovative solution for yarns with low titres and applications in which the minimum of shrinkage is crucial.

The new 16-end technology of the godet system promises higher productivity with simultaneously low conversion costs. Another exhibit is the POY platform WINGS, which will soon be going into operation in India for the first time.

This plug-and-play machine unit integrates godets and tangling unit into the winder, guaranteeing consistently excellent yarn quality, greater productivity and efficiency due to lower air and space requirements and potential savings with regard to operating staff.

The focus in the DTY sector is on the new texturing machine eFK: it combines the energy-saving MPS and COCOON godet technology with the proven ergonomic handling of the FK6-1000.

The PROMIX VS spinning pump excels with its mixing and metering system, which ensures a supply of homogeneous melt to the individual component pumps and thus also a lower yarn break rate.

Oerlikon Neumag: technological expertise in carpet yarns, staple fibres and nonwovens

The company offered the most comprehensive range of turnkey solutions in the market for the production of nonwovens for the target markets of hygiene, medical and filters up to automotive and other industrial end uses.

This was based on all the major nonwoven technologies: airlaid, carding and spunlaid. The show highlights were improved FOR carding technologies, Fehrer needle punching and Autefa crosslapping techniques.

The spotlight was on the modular S5 system for manufacturing high-grade BCF carpet yarn, the turnkey plants S3 (for monocolour yarns) and Variomelt (for mono- and tricolour yarns) as well as the new Sytec One concept with only one end per position.

Also on show was the 2-step plant concept for the production of synthetic staple fibres, facilitating significant productivity increases with production capacities of up to 400 tonnes of PET
fibres a day.

Oerlikon Saurer: Innovations for twisting and embroidery systems

After ITMA Asia, the arrival of Volkmann FusionTwister brings the global innovation to India too. The new two-for-one twisting machine for staple fibre yarn delivers futureoriented answers to trends such as finer titres and higher energy prices.

It replaces its successful predecessor model FOCUS and considerably extends the production spectrum once more. Oerlikon Saurer was reinforcing its position as leading supplier of shuttle embroidery machines and additional facilities such as Sequins and Soutache device or laser cutting device.

Oerlikon Schlafhorst: top process expertise in staple fibre spinning

The market and innovation leader in staple fibre spinning exhibited many of its latest successful products. With 416 spinning units and take-up speeds of 200 m/min, the new BD 416 generation of rotor spinning machines occupies a top slot as the most productive machine in its class worldwide.

Some of the arguments in its favour include the electronic EVA control system, which permits the yarn quality to be controlled precisely and reproducibly, and convincing piecing reliability levels
 of 95 %.

In ring spinning, the Zinser 68i roving machine was on show, with interesting new features such as four independent drive shafts or its intelligent control system EasySpin, which ensures low roving break rates and permanently high speeds.

The successful Autoconer 5 was also at ITME with the Autoconer 5S model. A versatile all-rounder, the new rewinding machine with PreciFX came with everything required for rewinding precleared yarn onto process-optimized packages. It thus demonstrated its performance potential and flexibility in the production of dye packages and hard packages for knitting and weaving.
