Oerlikon Neumag and Oerlikon Barmag will be presenting their solutions for efficient carpet production at this year’s Domotex Asia that will take place from 25-27 March at the Shanghai New International Exhibition Center.

The focus of the information will be on the three end BCF plant S+ from Oerlikon Neumag, as well as on the new tape yarn solution for carpet backings, EvoTape with WinTape, from Oerlikon Barmag.

Asian market

The Asian market is still regarded as a small market with development potential due to its classical consumer behavior in the carpet sector, especially for export, Oerlikon reports.

The market is said to be focused on the production of contractual goods, although there seems to be a change coming, according to Alfred Czaplinski, Sales Manager BCF. “Our customers are always looking for innovations and new products. Due to the high flexibility of our S+, we can practically cover every application,” he believes.

Oerlikon Neumag S+

The three end S+ covers a wide spectrum of producible total counts of 600 – 4000 dtex. Furthermore, all polymers from polyester, via polypropylene up to polyamide 6, can be processed on the multipolymer plants without conversions.

 Since its introduction to the market in 2011, the S+ is the most-sold BCF plant and produces economical, high-quality BCF yarns, the company reports.

EvoTape and WinTape

Focusing on the new developments for tape yarn production for carpet backing, introduced at last year’s Plastics Trade Fair, Oerlikon Barmag saw a significant increase in profitability – the company has achieved a quantum leap with up to 50% more output in comparison with usual market standard plants.

The revolutionised process of the new EvoTape tape plant, in connection with the also newly developed automatic winding system WinTape is said to enable this increase in efficiency.

Domotex Hanover

Oerlikon Neumag was satisfied during the four fair days in Hanover in January. After two very successful years in the BCF business, the company says it has concluded a satisfactory number of transactions. Three contracts were successfully concluded during the Domotex.

 The BCF plants S+ und Sytec One are in high demand, according to the manufacturer. Whereas the S+ convinces for commercial applications, the Sytec One is especially suitable for demanding production processes.

“With the S+ and Sytec One, we have an excellent position on the BCF market. We can practically cover all customer requests with these two plants,” commented Martin Rademacher, Sales Director BCF.
