At the forthcoming Dornbirn Global Fiber Conference (GFC) in Austria from September 11-13, Jean-Francois Gryspeert, sales and business developer for Valvan, based in Menen, Belgium, will outline the benefits of the new Trimclean system for textile recycling.

Trimclean has already received the 2024 Techtextil and Texprocess Innovation Award in the Digitalisation + AI category at the exhibitions held in Frankfurt this April.

A highly efficient system designed to extract trims like zippers, buttons and labels from fibre-sorted textile materials, Trimclean increases the purity of feedstock for textile-to-textile recyclers, leveraging AI and computer vision.

Valvan provides low-cost automated sorting solutions specifically designed to handle recycled post-consumer textiles and can also help customers to scale up manual sorting and separation processes into semi-automatic or automatic solutions with Fibersort.

Fibersort is crucial for efficiently processing large volumes of recycled post-consumer textiles and predicts the concentration of fibres in bales based on near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) scans. Fibersort can also sort textiles based on colour using an RGB camera. Once run through the Fibersort process, the textiles can then be fed into the Trimclean.

Jean-Francois Gryspeert will speak at 15.10 on Thursday September 12^th in conference room B at the Dornbirn connference.
