Trützschler, a leading textile machinery manufacturer, specialising in machines, installations and accessories for spinning preparation, the nonwovens and man-made fibre industry, will exhibit at the upcoming ITMA ASIA 2016 trade fair that takes place from 21-25 October in Shanghai.

At the leading exhibition for textile machinery, all four company’s divisions will exhibit their innovations. Trützschler Nonwovens puts emphasis on machines and concepts that are particularly sought-after in the Chinese market. The division will provide information on new components, as well as progress in processes and products.

Trützschler Man-Made Fibers informs about two new developments in the area of carpet yarn systems. Many machines for spinning preparation will be exhibited for the first time in Asia. Finally, in the area of spinning, the company’s flats selection has been expanded by two products for special applications.

Nonwovens

The company will display its modular system for fibre preparation, available to customers to arrange their individual fibre preparation. For nonwoven installations, the joint development with Trützschler Spinning includes bale opening, high-precision and simultaneously high-productive weighing units, as well as the advanced conveyor belt with blending opener.

The company will also present its thermobonder for nonwovens production. A patent-pending, exchangeable structuring shell is said to allow the production of bulky webs with permanent 3D structures during bonding in the through-air thermobonder.

SkyWind, a master roll winder for spunlace systems, is going to be another highlight at the event. Trützschler Nonwovens developed SkyWind for the production of hydroentangled wipes. Equipped with surface drive, the master roll winder is characterised by robustness, simple operation and high availability, the company reports.

Man-made fibres

Trützschler Man-Made Fibers informs about two new developments. The first one is a high-performances, three-end machine concept and the second one an inline system for the production of BCF quality yarns from recycled polyester.

The M30 is the latest member of the symTTex system family. The 3-end machine completes the range of 2-end and 4-end BCF machines. Thus, the optimal machine configuration for every application can be custom-made, the company reports.

Trützschler Man-Made Fibers and EREMA Engineering Recycling Maschinen und Anlagen have entered into a cooperation in the area of recycled materials, particularly R-PET. For the new inline BCF solution, EREMA supplies a VACUREMA basic system and secondary components that produce a de-contaminated polymer melt. The downstream spinning positions from Trützschler Man-Made Fibers spin the material into high-quality carpet yarns.

Spinning

Many machines for spinning preparation will be exhibited for the first time in Asia, including the TC 15 new web doffer with significantly reduced tension drafts. Also on display will be the T-MOVE new can filling station; the TC 10 Made in China card in the traditional working width of one metre; the Integrated Draw Frame IDF 2; the TD 9T       TWIN draw frame; the TD 8 new can changer for the established autoleveller draw frame; the TD 8C single head technology; and the TCO 12A comber for automatic lap change and automatic piecing.

In addition, the company will exhibit its new JUMBO CANS with 1,200 mm diameter, which are said to hold 43% more sliver than regular cans with 1,000 mm diameter. Another highlight is the new Modular Fiber Blending System T-BLEND, which relies on accurate weighing instead of indirect volumetric measurement methods.

The company will also display the T-DATA sensor technology, which processes more than just the regular data. Trützschler sensors are used to determine neps in the card sliver, distances of carding elements or actual energy consumption of the machines. The web-based T-DATA is said to ensure mobile availability of all these data.

Card clothing

In the area of spinning, the company’s flats selection has been expanded by two products for special applications. NOVOTOP 58 is optimally suited for the application in the area of fine combed yarns at production speeds of up to 65 kg/h and machine width of one metre.

The flat clothing NOVOTOP 30 has been newly developed for the processing of coarse and/or dyed fibres and reclaimed fibres for rotor spinning. The flat types NT 30 and NT 58 are available as MAGNOTOP and CLASSICTOP.

The company’s new GX1 clothing has been specifically developed for use in the area of carded and combed cotton. Thanks to improved fibre guidance it is said to allow an optimal fibre transfer and thus significantly better nep separation.
