WINGS winder to increase productivity by 20%
Oerlikon Barmag claims to have set a new benchmark for the efficient production of polyester fibres with its new yarn winder WINGS POY 1800. The new winding unit is said to boost productivity by a further 20 % using virtually the same amount of production space as the previous model. “With WINGS POY 1800, we are once again underscoring our technological leadership in the area of filament spinning. We will use this technology to sustainably bolster our market share of more than 40 % in the manmade fibre machinery industry,” explained Stefan Kross, CEO of Oerlikon's Manmade Fibers Segment.

Oerlikon Barmag claims to have set a new benchmark for the efficient production of polyester fibres with its new yarn winder WINGS POY 1800.
The new winding unit is said to boost productivity by a further 20 % using virtually the same amount of production space as the previous model. “With WINGS POY 1800, we are once again underscoring our technological leadership in the area of filament spinning. We will use this technology to sustainably bolster our market share of more than 40 % in the manmade fibre machinery industry,” explained Stefan Kross, CEO of Oerlikon's Manmade Fibers Segment.
Revolutionary
Oerlikon Barmag is aleading developer and manufacturer of complex spinning plants for the production of manmade fibres. About 40 % of the manmade fibres produced worldwide are processed on Oerlikon Barmag equipment, according to the manufacturer.
Many large manmade-fibre manufacturers already use the revolutionary WINGS products. The yarns are used in products such as clothing, tire cord, seat belts, cushions and technical textiles, like geotextiles.
User-friendly
The Winding Integrated Godet Solution, or WINGS, is said to be highly user-friendly, groundbreaking equipment. Oerlikon Barmag introduced WINGS to the market in 2007 ushering in a totally new generation in manmade fibre spinning, according to Oerlikon.
More than 14,000 WINGS POY units have been sold since 2007 for the yarn types pre-oriented yarn and fully-drawn yarn.
More productive
Compared to its predecessor model, WINGS POY 1800 can accommodate twelve bobbins instead of the previous ten bobbins, which required highly sophisticated technical developments.
This is said to enable producers of manmade fibres to increase yarn production by another 20 %. “With WINGS POY 1800, we are writing another chapter in our success story and moving even farther ahead of our competitors.”
“Unlike any other spinning products in the marketplace, WINGS delivers efficient and profitable filament production while supplying the highest level of yarn quality,” said Stefan Kross.
