World-wide news and novelties from technical textiles and
nonwovens industry
Groz-Beckert: Best nonwovens product line
|
For more than 150
years, Groz-Beckert has supported the machine builders to
the textile industry. During this period, Groz-Beckert has
developed from being purely a manufacturer of knitting and
hosiery machine needles into the most important system
supplier of precision components in the field of textiles
and beyond. Step by step, the company has branched out into
the business sectors of Sewing Machine Needles, Felting and
Structuring Needles and Gauge Parts Tufting – complemented
most recently by the important sector of Weaving Machine
Parts and Knitting Cylinders. |
Fine gauge fork needles: For production of random velour
products Random velour products are becoming increasingly
popular in the automotive industry. For a number of years,
Groz-Beckert has successfully met the needs of this market with
38, 40 and 42 gg fork needles. The latest development not only
satisfies current trends and the requirements of customers, but
also goes one step further. The 43 gg fork needle permits the
processing of ultra-fine fibres (e.g. in blends of 1.1-3.3 dtex)
for random velour products.
To achieve the utmost strength in conjunction with the
optimum fork size, it is now possible to combine working parts
in 40 gg and 42 gg with very fine fork openings (43 gg).
Depending on the desired surface characteristics, typical
crown needle applications can now also be covered by fine gauge
fork needles.
The characteristic attributes of fine gauge fork needles
are:
- High uniformity during structuring process.
- Pronounced loops (granular texture).
- Exceptionally dense surface quality, thanks to efficient
fibre processing capacity.
Product appearance can be influenced by DG or VG for setting.

HyTec GEBEDUR®
Groz-Beckert jet strips with long service life. |
The benefits of HyTec® GEBEDUR® jet strips are:
- Long service life due to reduced capillary edge wear.
- Improved resistance to damage and scratching during strip
changes.
- Homogenous product properties over a long period.
- Jet strips resistant to external influences, e.g. damage
from being hit, dropped or bent.
Groz-Beckert HyTec® GEBEDUR® jet strips have resistant
surfaces in the region of the capillaries. The long service life
resulting from this enables the manufacturer of spunlace
products to achieve homogenous product features over a long
period.
These products were also showcased the recent ITMA ASIA +CITME
exhibition held at Shanghai in China. Further information can
