Oerlikon Polymer Processing Solutions At The Domotex Middle East In Dubai

NEUMÜNSTER/REMSCHEID, Germany— March 21, 2024 — DOMOTEX Middle East is the leading event for the carpet and flooring industry in the Middle East. It focuses on machine-made carpets, textile carpets and handmade carpets. Oerlikon’s Polymer Processing Solutions division and its joint venture partner BB Engineering will also be on hand to provide information about their sustainable machines and plant technologies at the ATAG Export & Import stand E10.

The company will be presenting trade fair visitors with complete solutions ranging from melt to yarn, fibers and nonwovens. “Our customers are showing great interest in factory projects that cover everything from our in-house polycondensation plant or extrusion to textured yarn and the corresponding digital solutions. This holistic approach enables us to supply all process steps from a single source and to guarantee coordinated technology that ensures the high quality of the yarn produced,” explained Sales Director Jilali Lakraa.

New bicomponent BCF yarn for the carpet market

The BCF S8 system offers high productivity and expands the product portfolio to a level that can hold its own in a constantly changing market.

Quality, efficiency and performance — with its latest development in bicomponent yarns for carpet production, Oerlikon Neumag meets the carpet market’s demand for new innovative BCF yarns. “The new BICO BCF yarn is characterized by a richer and higher volume while significantly reducing raw material consumption in carpet production,” explains Jilali Lakraa. At the exhibition stand, interested visitors will be able to see sample yarns and carpets, find out about the product range and have in-depth discussions with the experts about the advantages of BICO-BCF yarn in various applications.

WINGS HD and eAFK Big V: Efficient production of high-titer products in the POY and DTY process

Part of Oerlikon Barmag’s efficient solution for the production of excellent quality high-titer yarns: the eAFK Big V multi-spindle texturing machine.

Oerlikon’s knowledge of all relevant technologies in manmade fiber spinning makes it the only manufacturer in the world to offer a comprehensive range of services for the production of carpet yarns. The plant concept based on a POY and texturing process is designed for a carpet and home textile product range that requires particularly soft and fluffy polyester yarns with BCF-like properties. The aim here is to produce yarns with a maximum count of 1200den and over 1000 filaments. Typical products are, for example, a 1200den f1152 or 600den f1152 as well as 900den f864. The machine concept consists of the well-known WINGS HD POY winder and the eAFK Big V texturing machine.

If DTY yarns of up to 1200den with up to 1152 filaments are standardly plied from four POY bobbins 300d/288f on a DTY machine, the process has a fundamental disadvantage: half of the available winding positions of the texturing machine remain unused. Here, Oerlikon Barmag offers the yarn producer a highly efficient solution: the spinning concept with WINGS HD take-up unit in combination with an automatic eAFK Big V multi-spindle texturing machine is currently the only solution on the market that produces excellent quality high-titer yarns with maximum machine efficiency.

VarioFil® – flexible compact spinning system for countless applications

Whether carpets and upholstery fabrics, fashion and sports or seat belts and airbags – a wide range of products is no challenge for the VarioFil® system from BB Engineering. The compact turnkey system is also ideal for producers who manufacture small batch sizes or specialized products. It is similarly flexible when processing different polymers, regardless of whether they are PET, PP, PA 6 and PA 6.6 or PBT. Customized conversion packages allow the system to be quickly adapted to constantly changing market requirements. In combination with Oerlikon texturing machines, a wide range of end products can be covered. This ranges from standard textile yarns to textured yarns with BCF-like properties.

Recycling is the future

BB Engineering’s VacuFil® system recycles post-consumer and post-production polyester waste.

Another rPET solution is the VacuFil® system from BB Engineering. VacuFil® is a unique and innovative PET recycling system that combines gentle large-scale filtration and targeted regulation of intrinsic viscosity (IV) for consistently excellent rPET melt quality. IV is the key quality feature in PET recycling and rPET processing. It determines the melting performance in the production process and the properties of the end products, such as BCF yarns, and is therefore essential for the recycling process.

Carbon Dioxide-Negative Construction Thanks To New Composite Material

DENKENDORF, Germany — March 20, 2024 — A new composite material is finding its way into the construction industry. Made from natural stone, carbon fibers and biochar, it is an alternative to reinforced concrete. It is characterized by a particularly good carbon dioxide (CO2) balance.

The Deutsche Institute für Textil- und Faserforschung (DITF) is the joint project “DACCUS-Pre*”. The basic idea of the project is to develop a new building material that stores carbon in the long term and removes more CO2 from the atmosphere than is emitted during its production.

In collaboration with the company TechnoCarbon Technologies, the project is now well advanced — a first demonstrator in the form of a house wall element has been realized. It consists of three materials: Natural stone, carbon fibers and biochar. Each component contributes in a different way to the negative CO2 balance of the material:

Two slabs of natural stone form the exposed walls of the wall element. The mechanical processing of the material, i.e. sawing in stone cutting machines, produces significant quantities of stone dust. This is very reactive due to its large specific surface area. Silicate weathering of the rock dust permanently binds a large amount of CO2 from the atmosphere.

Carbon fibers in the form of technical fabrics reinforce the side walls of the wall elements. They absorb tensile forces and are intended to stabilize the building material in the same way as reinforcing steel in concrete. The carbon fibers used are bio-based, produced from biomass. Lignin-based carbon fibers, which have long been technically optimized at DITF Denkendorf, are particularly suitable for this application: They are inexpensive due to low raw material costs and have a high carbon yield. In addition, unlike reinforcing steel, they are not susceptible to oxidation and therefore last much longer. Although carbon fibers are more energy-intensive to produce than steel, as used in reinforced concrete, only a small amount is needed for use in building materials. As a result, the energy and CO2 balance is much better than for reinforced concrete. By using solar heat and biomass to produce the carbon fibers and the weathering of the stone dust, the CO2 balance of the new building material is actually negative, making it possible to construct CO2-negative buildings.

The third component of the new building material is biochar. This is used as a filler between the two rock slabs. The char acts as an effective insulating material. It is also a permanent source of CO2 storage, which plays a significant role in the CO2balance of the entire wall element.

From a technical point of view, the already realized demonstrator, a wall element for structural engineering, is well developed. The natural stone used is a gabbro from India, which has a high-quality appearance and is suitable for high loads. This has been proven in load tests.  Bio-based carbon fibers serve as the top layer of the stone slabs. The biochar from Convoris GmbH is characterized by particularly good thermal insulation values.

The CO2 balance of a house wall made of the new material has been calculated and compared with that of conventional reinforced concrete. This results in a difference in the CO2 balance of 157 CO2 equivalents per square meter of house wall. A significant saving!

MÖNCHENGLADBACH, Germany — March 19, 2024 — Boosting productivity has never been easier! The new high-performance comber TCO 21XL makes it possible to increase productivity by 50 percent. Real-world results from spinning companies worldwide — including Bakan Tex in Uzbekistan — have confirmed the TCO 21XL’s high levels of performance and quality. Why is this new comber grabbing attention among top spinning companies? Find out here.

Great performance in Uzbekistan

Diagram 1

Our customer Bakan Tex, headquartered in Uzbekistan, has already enjoyed an exclusive sneak-peek at this machine. Bakan produces 14,500 tons of combed cotton yarn per year (ranging from Ne 20 to Ne 40) at its state-of-the-art spinning mill. The company has a high degree of automation and focuses on future- oriented technologies.

Diagram 2

“The production and quality data of the TCO 21XL are simply fantastic,” says Mr. Sekar, General Manager at Bakan Tex. “We’re incredibly excited about how the 12-head comber is going to benefit our business.” Bakan Tex was able to perform a comprehensive comparison between eight-head and twelve-head machines under identical production conditions because it already has TCO combers installed. You can see the results on Diagram 1 and Diagram 2.

Further results are promising

Diagram 3

The team at Bakan Tex was thrilled to see how one comber can meet its market needs so effectively. Further results in Turkey, for example, confirmed higher productivity at no compromise in quality, stable running performance and very satisfactory endurance test results. These trials were carried out for ring spinning with uzbek cotton as the raw material. The yarn count was Ne 30.

Lower cost of ownership

Diagram 4

Next to boosting productivity, the TCO 21XL requires 25 % less space to accommodate the same number of combing heads (see Diagram 4). This reduces initial construction costs and also results in lower ongoing operating costs, including costs associated with lighting, air conditioning and other overheads. Our new ONLINE NOIL MONITORING function also enables further cost savings by automatically detecting variations in the noil and giving a warning signal in case of significant changes. Of course, the TCO 21XL also features the proven drive technologies DUAL DRIVE and 2TWIN DRIVE for a completely synchronous running on all combing heads and a uniform combing result.

The world’s first 12-head comber: TCO 21XL

We are excited that this innovative comber has started fulfilling its most important role – delivering outstanding productivity and quality to customers worldwide.

From nature to performance fiber

Creating a more powerful sustainable story, Hyosung has expanded its offering of regen™ Bio-Based Elastane, replacing nearly all the fiber’s raw materials previously made with petroleum-based resources with 100-percent renewable resources. The company recently received an independent third party LCA for its expanded offering of regen Bio-Based Elastane.

Hyosung was the first company to commercially introduce USDA and SGS-certified regen Bio-Based Elastane made with 30-percent renewable resources in 2021, which has been successfully adopted by leading global brands. According to an independent third party LCA, the manufacture of 1 kilogram (kg) regen Bio-Based spandex reduces its carbon footprint by 20 percent as compared to the production 1 kg of conventional spandex.

“We are very excited about our expanded regen Bio-Based Elastane offering that further reduces our dependence on fossil fuels and carbon emissions,” said Claire O’Neill, Hyosung director of European Brand Marketing. “As a comprehensive provider of sustainable textile solutions, our goal is to provide textile options that meet the diverse needs of our mills, brands, and consumers. We take pride in achieving this objective.”

Ocean Protection Initiative

At Performance Days and Functional Fabric Fair, Hyosung will also present the latest innovations with its GRS-certified, 100 percent post-consumer recycled regen Ocean Nylon made from discarded fishing nets. Third party LCA data shows that the manufacture of 1 kg regen ocean post-consumer recycled nylon made with discarded fishing nets reduces CO2 emissions by 73 percent, fossil resource use by 76 percent, and water consumption by 98 percent compared to the manufacture of 1 kg of conventional nylon. Under its proprietary recycling process, Hyosung recently increased production and re-launched regen Ocean Nylon in early 2023, which has led to major outdoor brand adoptions that are launching new products made with the material this spring.

David Kwon, senior manager of Hyosung’s Nylon and Polyester marketing team, will join a panel discussion exploring what ocean-bound plastic is exactly and what can be done with plastics already at sea led by Technical editor of WSA magazine, Sophie Bramel, held on the second day of Performance Days, March 21 at 2pm.

Reuse. Recyle. Regen.

To meet consumer desire for sustainable apparel that offers comfort with performance benefits, Hyosung has uniquely added multi-function properties in the manufacture of its certified 100 percent recycled Elastane, Nylon and Polyester fibers. For instance, Hyosung’s regen Askin Polyester offers cool touch, UV protection and quick drying benefits. Its regen Xanadu is a mechanical stretch fiber made with a blend of recycled post-consumer PET and plant-based materials providing a performance fit.

At Kingpins Amsterdam

Innovation for denim you want to live in

At Kingpins Amsterdam, Hyosung will present new denim stretch innovations with its CREORA® 3D Max Elastane. Hyosung’s CREORA 3D Max elastane delivers high-performance stretch and recovery with a very small portion of elastane content uniquely allowing the garment to be recycled according to Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s The Jeans Redesign.

Anticipating denim brand needs, Hyosung has added sustainable and functional versions of the fibre that matches the same performance and recyclability benefits as conventional CREORA 3D Max Elastane, which include USDA and SGS-certified regen Bio-Based 3D Max Elastane, RCS certified, 100-percent recycled regen 3D Max Elastane made from industrial waste, and CREORA Easy 3D Max Eastane that provides soft power and excellent stretch.

“Hyosung is dedicated to developing various versions of denim spandex with added bio-functionality in the future, said Simon Hong, Hyosung Denim Lead.  “This initiative aims to provide consumers with options that prioritize not only eco-friendliness but also comfort and convenience. By incorporating special features into these products, Hyosung seeks to enhance the overall user experience while contributing to sustainable practices in the fashion industry.”

At Kingpins, Hyosung will sponsor and participate in a panel discussion with denim design professionals with varied prospectives on what fit might look like in 5 years’ time.

Hyosung can be found at Performance Days Munich March 20-21, stand 50x, Functional Fabric Fair Portland, April 17-18, booth 1608, and Kingpins Amsterdam April 24-25 taking place in the SugarFactory.
