The India International Textile Machinery Exhibition, INDIA ITME 2012, which is being held for the 9th time at Bombay Convention & Exhibition Centre in Mumbai from December 2nd – 7^th, is an excellent opportunity for the DiloGroup to present its portfolio of equipment to the Indian market, especially as the exhibition is also an important platform for the Asian market in general.

DiloGroup will provide extensive information about its made in Germany production lines as well as recent machine concepts from the DiloGroup companies DiloTemafa, DiloSpinnbau and DiloMachines.

“A major focus of the new equipment is to improve operational efficiency, web quality and uniformity with positive effects on all staple fibre bonding processes. All these elements belong to the ‘Dilo-Isomation’ process and aim at an even web mass for reduced fibre consumption as raw material is the biggest cost factor in textile production,” DiloGroup said in a press communication.

One machine contributing to this process is the DON dosing opener, which is manufactured by DiloTemafa and provides an intense opening of the fibre material. It delivers the fibrous material continuously and homogeneously to the card feeder.

Another effort to increase productivity is the MultiFeed card feeder designed by DiloSpinnbau which is available in working widths up to 5 metres. The machine uses a ‘twinflow’ infeed to increase homogeneity offers a capacity of over 400 kg/hour/m of working width when processing 1.7 dtex fibres. The use of a twinflow infeed is said to result in a more homogeneous flock mass flow.

According to DiloGroup, the MultiCard, also designed by DiloSpinnbau, enjoys high production availability due to its easy and fast accessibility for cleaning and maintenance work. It handles the full range of fibre fineness and length with a web speed potential of up to 200 m/min and thus, DiloGroup says, represents an economic solution for cross laid nonwoven production.

In addition, Dilo crosslappers providing infeed speeds up to 160 m/min (DL series) may be equipped with the redesigned Webguide from DiloMachines which also improves felt homogeneity and therefore results in significant fibre savings. DiloMachines offers a wide range of vertical and horizontal crosslappers which ensure high layering precision based on excellent web control

The portfolio of DiloMachines includes the complete range of needlelooms, from a single board needling on one side up to two boards from each side, plus structuring and patterning options.

“Endless felt tubes can be needled and also wide working width belts for paper machine clothing applications. The development of needlelooms continues. Elliptical and circular needlebeam movements are used to control drafts in the needling zone and to provide high speed felt production especially in the low weight range,” the company says.

DiloGroup is a leading supplier of complete nonwovens lines made in Germany for staple fibre nonwoven production. Each line is specifically designed to customer needs. The company looks forward to discussing your requirements at its India ITME.
