Truetzschler Nonwovens, Truetzschler Card Clothing and Truetzschler Man-Made Fibers provided information on complete plants, machines for the production of nonwovens and technical textiles, card clothing, individual components and services at the Techtextil trade fair that took place in Frankfurt, from 11-13 June.

In partnership

Among the topics discussed at the show was the collaboration of Truetzschler Nonwovens & Man-Made Fibers and Norafin Indutries, the company’s partner in the field of hydroentanglement for 17 years. This spring, Truetzschler  delivered the 100th AquaJet to Norafin Industries, signifying growth for both companies.

According to Truetzschler,  Techtextil was also an important milestone in linking the Bastian brand with the name of Truetzschler Nonwovens, providing a platform to showcase the Bastian winding and slitting solutions, which makes Trützschler a provider that can offer complete nonwovens lines from a single source.  

Highlights

The exhibited material for flushable wipes was said to be very well received by nonwovens manufacturers and converters from a variety of industries. The complete solution for the production of wet-laid and hydroentangled nonwovens were showcased.

In cooperation with Voith Paper, the company that provides the equipment for web forming and water circuit, it has been possible to create a web that, according to Truetzschler, compares favourably with established end products in the market.

The production of staple fibres, industrial yarns and carbon fibres is at the beginning of the process chain leading to the finished technical textile and Truetzschler Man-Made Fibers  produced a solution presented for size and performance optimised, one-stage staple fibre installations, addressing the market requirements for smaller spinning capacities for special applications.

According to Truetzschler, visitors showed great technical interest in all areas, focusing on the process expertise provided by Truetzschler Card Clothing to discuss technical issues with regards to materials, end products and sustainable processes in detail.

Award for best dissertation

On the second day of the trade fair the Truetzschler Nonwovens site in Duelmen had a special reason to celebrate, as the Walter Reiners-Stiftung (Foundation) of the German Textile Machinery Industry awarded the Duelmen Director of Engineering, Dr Heiko Schenuit, the prize for best dissertation.

His work in the field of energy efficiency provides textile manufacturers and textile machinery manufacturers with a method for energy-specific process optimisation. In part, the results relating to air-jet weaving can be directly applied by weaving mills to save compressed air.
