Cleaning, drawing-in, knotting, weaving: For Weaving, Groz-Beckert is full-range supplier for high quality weaving accessories and machines for weaving preparation. At the exhibition, among other things, Groz-Beckert shows its warp-tying machine KnotMaster. This modular system sets new standards in service and maintenance friendliness. Despite the numerous functions – four tying methods, single and double knots, short knot ends, or the yarn break detector – the handling of the machine is especially simple due to its modern touch-screen control.

Thanks to its broad range of application, especially the standard version AS/3 has established itself as a best-seller. It is a warp-tying machine for all fine and medium yarns made from cotton, wool, and synthetic materials as well as for blended and elastic yarns. Furthermore the portfolio of heald frames and healds is partially on view at the booth – from the heald frame for versatile rapier weaving machines to the carbon heald frame for high speeds. The carbon reinforced heald frame ALtop Hybrid increases and stabilizes the picks per minute performance, allows the production of high-quality fabric and is easy to use.

In the field of Felting (Nonwovens) Groz-Beckert presents the new EcoStar needle as the first result of the Innovations Initiative Nonwovens. The universal felting needle for almost all requirements is a special highlight: In comparison with standard needles it offers users an improved surface quality of the end product, longer service life combined with reduced energy consumption and lower penetration force, but the same efficiency. Also on show will be the GEBECON needle, which provides the combination of good surface quality of the end product plus the best possible bending resistance.

Due to its high stability and elasticity this felting needle with patented technology is particularly suitable for extreme challenges such as high production speeds. Moreover the newly-developed HyTec D Jet Strip for hydroentangled products is presented. It is adapted for the application in spunlace systems, in terms of both hardness and durability, and provides numerous advantages. Examples are the nozzle edges with improved wear resistance and reduced energy consumption due to optimized nozzle edges.

Groz-Beckert is the world’s leading provider of industrial machine needles, precision parts and fine tools as well as systems and services for the production and joining of textile fabrics. The products and services support the fields of knitting, weaving, felting, tufting and sewing. Founded in 1852 the company today employs nearly 8,000 people and has a turnover of around €570 Mio. Groz-Beckert operates with agencies, production and distribution subsidiaries in more than 150 countries around the world.
