in the world. The Zinser ring spin-
ning machines 351 and 451 prom-
ise unique process reliability with
the Impact FX compact spinning
technology and the CoWeMat dof-
fer. And the quality package of the
Autoconer X5 sets the benchmark
for individually and flexibly adapt-
able package quality with maximum
productivity.
Oerlikon Neumag, with a mar-
ket share of nearly 70 per cent, is
a leading supplier of highly ad-
vanced BCF carpet yarn machines.
The BCF best seller in 2011, the S+
with three yarns per position, is now
available for the up-and-coming
carpet material polyester BCF. This
is a perfect substitute for polyester
spinning yarn on account of its cost
efficiency in production.
Production systems for polyester
staple fibrespermit maximum ca-
pacities of up to 300 tonnes per day
and cut operating costs at the same
time. For manufacturers of nonwo-
vens such as geotextiles, compact
inline systems with capacities of
up to 80 tonnes per day offer suit-
able solutions as they permit small
production batches and require few
operators. Also on the agenda are
machines or turnkey systems for
the production of nonwovens from
spunbond and meltblown to airlaid.
Visitors to the exhibition can also
navigate through the innovations in
3D on a virtual tour of the installa-
tion.
Oerlikon Saurer, the market lead-
er in embroidery and twisting, is
putting the emphasis on energy sav-
ing with the new Volkmann CT: the
eco-drive concept and spindles are
the perfect complement to the e-save
spindle family and help to save up to
40 per cent of energy costs, even for
the finest yarn counts.
The next new process, Volkmann
Heat-SET, integrates cabling, ther-
mofixing and winding in one proc-
ess sequence, thus reducing process
costs and speeding up order comple-
tion. The new Allma TC2 two-for-
one twisting machine can process
every conceivable material in the
titre range from 235 to 60,000 dtex.
It thus satisfies the demand for top
quality, application variety and pro-
duction flexibility in the market for
technical plied yarns. Its sister ma-
chine Allma CC4 is revolutionizing
the tyre cord cabling market with
energy savings of up to 50 per cent.
And the Epoca 6 with its new drive
system, optimal adjustment options
and perfect thread cutting delivers
the product up to 30 per cent faster
with maximum reliability and em-
broidery quality.
Oerlikon Textile Components is a
byword for quality and know-how
in the production of premium com-
ponents for the filament and staple
fibre spinning mill. It is exhibiting
all ITMA innovations.
In staple fibre spinning, the
world’s most versatile Texparts PK
2630 SE weighting arms can also
be used for machines from Rieter
and LMW. Spindles with the Tex-
parts Zero underwinding system
prevent underwind threads and of-
fer maximum reliability, efficiency
and operator-friendliness in use.
The novel curved edge of the Day-
tex Shrinkage Belt is completely de-
void of sharp edges, preventing tears
from forming and thus extending the
belt’s service life. The established
product lines Accotex, Fibrevision,
Heberlein and Temco complete this
selection.
