Fibers, Spinning - Yarn, Technical Textiles, Textile

SASA Polyester Sanayi A.Ş. and Oerlikon Neumag reinforced their partnership at the ITMA 2023 trade fair in Milan. SASA placed a customer service order with Oerlikon Neumag for its staple fiber systems. The order comprises both original parts and two secure remote service agreements. Original parts are designed explicitly for the demanding deployment of the systems for which they are intended. Due to their superlative quality standards, they are considerably more durable than other spare parts, hence preventing unplanned production stoppages and saving money in the longer term. Mustafa Kemal Öz, Executive Board Member & General Manager of SASA confirms this: “Cutting costs when it comes to original parts makes no sense. Poor quality in wear parts used for staple fiber systems always h

Uster solution gives nonwovens producers total confidence in demanding applications

Fibers, Nonwoven

Zero-tolerance contamination control Drylaid nonwovens producers operate to the most stringent quality levels – with zero-tolerance standards for defects bigger than 1 mm.

Swiss Textile Machinery members drive filament yarn production for the expanding world of technical textiles

Associations, Fibers, Spinning - Yarn, Technical Textiles

What innovations are made of… Swiss Textile Machinery members drive filament yarn production for the expanding world of technical textiles High-performance yarns now offer almost unlimited possibilities for replacing traditional raw materials in a vast range of technical applications. Often tailor-made, these filament yarns go way beyond the conventional idea of ‘textiles’ – finding new uses in sectors such as automotive, aviation, maritime, medical and construction, among many others. Machines and technology from Switzerland are in the forefront of many such developments, producing the yarns which are the basis for these innovations. Technical textiles are everywhere in our daily lives today, even if we may not always realize it. Some are in more obviously textile products, from

Modernized AS H 32 and AS H 38 yarn suction devices

Fibers, Spinning - Yarn

Manual lever now even more ergonomic Finer adjustment of the yarn suction force, lower compressed air consumption for the same yarn tension, smooth, ergonomic compressed-air valve – all promises fulfilled by the modernized AS H 32 and AS H 38 yarn suction devices. Also known as hand injectors, these yarn suction devices are standard components of all spinning positions. The AS H 32- and AS H 38-series high-performance hand injectors are superior to those of other manufacturers, above all as a result of their lower compressed air consumption for the same yarn tension. This is made possible due to the higher yarn suction forces, particularly in the case of the AS H 38 series. In addition to this, string-up without ‘ramp-up’ is possible in certain applications. Also new is a smoother,

Tackling coronavirus with meltblown and spunbond technologies

Fibers, Nonwoven, Technical Textiles

Protective equipment demands high-end nonwoven products Since the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, the worldwide demand for protective masks and apparel has resulted in a record number of new orders in the high double-digit millions of euros at Oerlikon Nonwoven. The meltblown technology from Neumünster is recognized by the market as being one of the technically most efficient methods for producing highly-separating filter media made from plastic fibers. The rising demand for protective masks and other medical protective equipment since the start of the coronavirus pandemic and the associated global ramping up of production capacities has also resulted in an increase in the demand for nonwovens for the production thereof. Initially, this resulted in bottlenecks in the provision
