French textile machinery manufacturers are leaders in long fiber spinning, yarn twisting and control, space dyeing, heat setting for carpet yarns, carpet systems, dyeing and finishing, felts and belts for finishing processes, nonwovens, air conditioning of textile plants and recycling processes of textile materials. These technologies will be on display at ITMA Asia + CITME 18.
Among the exhibitors will be Laroche a major player in the textile waste recycling and airlaid nonwoven fields and is now involved in new technologies for turning post-consumer goods into valuable products. NSC Fibre To Yarn has made technological advances to its product range: a new GC40 family drawing machine, the GN8 intersecting drawing machine, an evolved ERA comber.

Superba TVP3 heat-setting line offers the highest pinpoint definition with a saturated steam process. Improvements have been made in Superba’s space-dyeing technology, like bicolor printing, or dyeing polyester yarn.

Fil Control has been developing and producing electronic devices for both machinery manufacturers and textile industrialists. The company stands as one of the market leaders for yarn cutters, which can satisfy all kinds of bespoke demands, yarn sensors, utilizing capacitive, optical, reflective and piezoelectric technology, and quality control devices, such as the tension sensor and the digital length meter. The new tension sensor MYT-T is a load cell sensor devoted to assembling, winding and texturing operations. The sensor delivers an analog signal proportional to yarn tension. This information can be used by the machine controller to keep yarn tension constant or stop the spindle if the tension is out of the normal operation range.
