German textile machinery manufacturer Oerlikon Neumag hosted a well-attended Virtual Reality Show in Dalton last month, where it invited interested BCF producers in order to inform them   about its latest technologies and the actual world market situation.

Virtual Reality Show

The presentation of the BCF plant S+ in a Virtual Reality Show was the focus of the event.

 Visitors found themselves in a 3-dimensional room in the middle of the BCF plant. The journey of the yarn from its creation right up to the complete bobbin, real time cutting planes and the animation of components like the wing traversing unit of the winder, enabled the visitors to experience the market-leading technology in detail.

“It is a challenge for us to realise our technology in small spaces. Virtual Reality is the ideal instrument for this and went down very well with our visitors,” Michael Rubenhagen, sales director at Oerlikon Neumag concluded with regards to the success of the event.

BCF plant S+

The three-end S+ combines the advantages of the S5 and Sytec One in a quick, efficient and user-friendly machine with proven components.

According to Oerlikon Neumag, in comparison to the S5, which is mainly used  in the USA, the S+ convinces with an efficiency of 99 per cent and thus cost savings for raw material. The S+ achieves highest yarn qualities with a productivity increase of up to 25 per cent with virtually the same utilized energy.

Since 2012, the S+ is also available for the polyester process. With Virtual Reality, Oerlikon Neumag has broken innovative ground in the German machine and plant engineering market to make production processes conceivable.
