Groz-Beckert, of Albstadt, Germany, will present its portfolio for the nonwovens industry with the assistance of augmented reality displays at the forthcoming IDEA show in Miami from March 28-31.

For spunlace customers, HyTec P jet strips are characterised by a significantly higher hardness compared to conventional jet strips, offering excellent scratch resistance, while in the area of traditional needling, the patented Gebecon felting needle’s unique geometry provides optimised bending resistance with high flexibility.

Groz-Beckert has also developed a new range of metallic card clothing based on a patented environmentally-friendly and resource-saving production method which results in a controlled and very precise hardening of the teeth, a reduced rib height of 1.3 millimetres and completely scale-free surfaces without burrs This results in improved process reliability and increased up-time of the card production.

The SiroLock plus worker and doffer wire was meanwhile developed as the first special geometry of the Groz-Beckert InLine card clothing series to provide more effective fibre take-up, control and transfer.

In addition, visitors will be invited to take a virtual tour through the technology facility in the Groz-Beckert Technology and Development Center (TEZ) in Albstadt, Germany, to experience the staple fibre needlepunch line up close and discover how Groz-Beckert can assist in product development and process optimisation.
