The Truetzschler Group’s four business units Spinning, Nonwovens, Man-Made Fibre and Card Clothing, as well as the Chinese Truetzschler Textile Machinery Shanghai (TTMS), will be exhibiting at the forthcoming ITMA ASIA + CITME trade fair that will take place from 16-20 June 2014 in Shanghai.

TMS will exhibit the Truetzschler Card TC 8 that has the longest carding section for optimal fibre protection and high performance, according to the manufacturer. Developments such as Setting Optimiser T-Con and the flats system MAGNOTOP are some typical features of Truetzschler cards, like the exhibited TC 8.

The auto leveller Draw Frame TD 8 that will also be featured at the exhibition is equipped with the separately driven Servo Creel. The highlights of this machine are the new input sensor Disc Leveller and the quality monitoring system with sensor Disc Monitor.

Spinning

Truetzschler Spinning places emphasis on two machines that have not yet been introduced at a trade fair. The first one is Toyota SUPERLAP TSL 12. This machine for combing preparation is said to deliver laps of the highest quality. Due to the multi-drive system, the speeds of the individual elements can be optimised with utmost sensitivity and precision, the company reports.

The second introduction is the new Integrated Draw Frame IDF 2. Direct spinning of slivers from the machine combination Card TC11 and IDF 2 saves considerable costs and provides a higher yarn quality, according to Truetzschler.

Nonwovens

Truetzschler Nonwovens puts emphasis on the variety of products for nonwovens production. The company offers complete systems ranging from fibre opening to winding of the web for the four web bonding processes (hydroentangling, needling, thermobonding and chemical bonding).

A wet-in-wet process represents a brand new development for such end products as flushable wipes. The technology and design of the production plant was developed with the German company Voith Paper.

Information on various tailor made components will also be presented at the fair and includes  the new Streamliner dryer that is said to realise maximum evaporation rates for hydroentangled webs at minimum energy consumption.

Man-Made Fibres

Truetzschler Man-Made Fibres will exhibit its system competence in the field of staple fibres and filament. This ranges from texturing units for BCF yarns, compact systems, to highly productive two-stage staple fibre lines.

Card Clothing

Truetzschler Card Clothing provides all products and services regarding clothing for cards and roller cards. This also includes special clothing for openers or for opening rollers of rotor spinning machines. This year, TTMS has taken over the marketing and service for opening roller clothing in China. These wires can be used on all types of opening rollers and for a broad variety of applications, the company reports. They are available as Standard and Chemically polished versions.

The Novotop 58 flat top is an invention within the flats product range. It is used in the area of fine combed yarns. The product has been specifically designed for coloured fibres and regenerated fibres for rotor spinning.
