Groz-Beckert, a leading provider of industrial machine needles, precision parts and fine tools, will present innovative products and services at the upcoming ITMA international textile machinery exhibition that takes place from 12-19 November in Milan (Hall 7, booth D124).

The company will also demonstrate its new booth concept with machines made of acrylic glass. For the first time, Groz-Beckert's new product sector Carding will be represented.

Knitting

By means of transparent knitting and warp knitting machines, the product sector Knitting will visualize the precision of its products and their interaction in the relevant processes. The individual elements can be removed and eyed in detail. At the exhibition the visitors will experience how this interaction can contribute to an increase in productivity and profitability, the company reports.

In addition, Groz-Beckert will present its expanded warp knitting range. With the new warp knitting parts, also for the warp knitting process, matching tools are offered for the production of flawless fabrics and for highest productivity. The special highlight will be an innovation in terms of knitting needles used in large diameter circular knitting machines.

Felting

The product sector Felting will highlight special needle solutions for filtration felts and will also feature a needling machine made of acrylic glass.

If a high surface quality is desired, Groz-Beckert recommends a combination of GEBECON and EcoStar felting needles. The stability of the GEBECON needle is said to provide a high surface quality in the preneedling process, while in intermediate and finish needling the EcoStar needle is designed to give a high surface quality to the finished product.

Tufting

In a transparent machine model, the product sector Tufting will present the advanced gauge part system, consisting of tufting needle, looper, reed finger and tufting knife. With its range of products Groz-Beckert meets the requirements of carpet producers in terms of functional and reliable tufting tools, according to the company.

Groz-Beckert offers system solutions for all applications and machine types, from monofilament to soft fibre yarns, from artificial turf to high-class carpet.

Carding

For the first time present at the Groz-Beckert booth is its new product sector Carding. The sector will exhibit metallic card clothing characterized by minimizing fibre consumption and, therefore, guaranteeing an economic production of nonwovens, the manufacturer reports.

SiroLock and EvoStep wire designs for doffer and worker wires are displayed on a nonwovens card made of acrylic glass. SiroLock and EvoStep are characterized by a distinctive step under the tip of the tooth front. These geometries are said to allow a better fibre taking and holding, while reducing flying fibre and improving the fibre blending.

Sewing

The product sector Sewing will present its comprehensive service concept. In addition to that, the exhibition visitors will gain insights into the new Customer Portal Sewing, offering a lot of useful online information about sewing, as well as the product catalogue and exclusive animations of different stitch formation types.
