Groz-Beckert, the leading provider of industrial machine needles, will show its comprehensive range and service highlights at the Techtextil exhibition for technical textiles and nonwovens that takes place from 4-7 May 2015 in Frankfurt.

Groz-Beckert serves all central textile production and joining processes – from products and services through to an own training programme, the Groz-Beckert Academy.

Besides textile basics, advanced and special courses about tools for the production of textiles, held at the Technology and Development Center (TEZ) in Albstadt, the company also offers individual training courses at the customer's site.

Filtration with needle felts

In the Felting area, the focus is on filtration with needle felts. Owing to a variety of needle types with different barb sizes, barb styles, gauges and cross sections, Groz-Beckert can offer the right felting needles for differently needled filter media.

For a high surface quality, a combination of GEBECON and EcoStar felting needles can be recommended. The stability of the GEBECON in the preneedling process and the EcoStar in the intermediate and finish needling provide for an optimum surface of the finished product, according to the manufacturer. The Twisted needle has a twisted working part, for a more defined use of the barbs and a more efficient needling.

SEWING5 service concept

At the Sewing area, characterized by a comprehensive service concept, the company will present its SEWING5 concept that stands for the five S (Supply, Solutions, Service, Superiority, and Sustainability), representing the company’s integral customer orientation and service competence.

 As a good product quality has become a minimum requirement of the markets, factors like sustainable production and efficiency increases as well as the wish for new and more sophisticated designs are gaining importance. Groz-Beckert offers its SEWING5 concept as a response to this challenge.

Weaving area

The Weaving area will go into the variety of technical fabrics. Groz-Beckert offers all kinds of healds and heald frames, designed to meet the requirements of the relevant materials.

At the exhibition the company will present weaving accessories for different application fields, such as the high-performance heald frame ALtop Hybrid characterized by its outstanding bending resistance and simple handling as well as long service life and consequently reduced demand of spare parts.

In addition, Groz-Beckert will exhibit products for special applications like the TWINtec heald that can be used for weaving carbon fibre, aramid and glass fibre.
