Oerlikon Neumag: greater performance, capacity and customer benefit
The leading supplier of sophisticated BCF carpet yarns is exhibiting its technological capacity with its generation S+ unit. This BCF machine combines all the advantages of earlier technologies like Sytec One or S5 and also delivers significantly higher process velocity and a productive capacity of up to 99 percent. In the manufacture of synthetic staple fibres Oerlikon Neumag supplies the system with the largest capacity of a single line anywhere in the world:
The system for manufacturing polyester staple fibres, having a capacity of 300 tons per day, substantially reduces operating and production costs per ton and is already positioned on the market. Other items on the trade fair programme include all the key processes in the manufacture of nonwovens: Here, the focus is on uses like filtration, geotextiles and other technical applications.
Oerlikon Saurer: perfection in embroidery and twisting
An ever wider variety of applications, top-quality yarns and production flexibility reign in the growing market for technical twisting. Oerlikon Saurer, the global market leader in embroidery and twisting, responds here with the new Allma TC2, a two-for-one twisting machine, featuring unparalleled flexibility and productivity. All materials in the titre spectrum from 235 to 60,000 dtex can be processed with production speeds of up to 450 m/min; the expanded numerical range opens up new markets for customers with creative products too.
Another theme is the award-winning Allma CC4 cabling machine which, depending on the titre and spindle type, makes energy savings of up to 50 percent possible. Similar benchmarks in staple fibre twisting are being set by the new Volkmann CT which will also be exhibited: With the eco-drive concept and an eco-spindle, up to 40 percent in energy costs can be saved. The Epoca 6 pro stands for perfection in embroidery, as well as highest productivity, and actually demonstrates this in industrial applications – among others with an innovative drive system and a higher production speed by up to 30 percent.
