Volkmann, the leader in the twisting and cabling technology, will present the innovations in glass twisting machines VGT and VGT11-P at the JEC World exhibition for composite materials that takes place from 8-10 March 2016 in Paris.

At the joint Saurer stand visitors will be informed about all the latest developments in the glass fibre production range, the company reports.

Largest VGT installation

The major order from Taishan Fiberglass for 93 VGT twisting machines in various specifications could be put into operation in mid-December 2015, the company reports.

The plant for textile glass filament yarns in the Shandong Province with a maximum capacity of 50,000 tons per year is one of the largest production site for textile twisted glass filament yarns. Thanks to the Volkmann-typical sectional design, all machines were started up to the full satisfaction of the customer within the shortest possible time, according to the manufacturer.

VGT11-P4 Combi glass ring twisting machine

The newly developed VGT11-P4 Combi glass ring twisting machine, which was presented at the JEC 2015, successfully started production at the end of 2015.

The multiply yarn constructions for the filtration technology produced on this machine type are said to meet the highest requirements of the glass filament market. With its wide field of applications and high machine efficiency the VGT11-P series is said to enjoy a great demand, according to the company.

New service network for Verdol machines

The original parts and service business taken over from the Verdol Reyes Group in France in September 2015 strengthens and complements the service and original parts activities of Allma Volkmann in the areas of glass, carpet, staple, tire cord and technical yarns.

The new office in France, with former employees from the Verdol group, offers an expansion of Allma Volkmann customer services worldwide.
