Oerlikon Barmag WINGS POY HD is designed for the requirements of high yarn titers of up to 500den polyester POY. Oerlikon Barmag WINGS FDY family offers the perfect, commercially-attractive solution – the high-end model WINGS FDY PLUS is shown at an ITMA Asia + CITME for the first time. Oerlikon Neumag is premiering its new multifunctional forming table for its meltblown systems with a considerably reduced footprint and a shortened wire length that reduce maintenance costs.

Betting big on China

The primary focus is on the innovative Oerlikon Manmade Fibers Industrie 4.0 system control and customer services solutions. With new features and offerings for the intelligent ‘POC – Plant Operation Center 4.0’ system control software, producers can now maintain a constant overview of all processes – from the polycondensation, spinning and texturing all the way through to downstream further processing procedures. This helps clients increase the productivity of their systems, save energy and deploy resources efficiently. Oerlikon already shows manufacturers how they can optimise the production processes of the future – ‘The Future is Now’. 

Industrie 4.0 solutions blazing a trail 

Using virtual reality presentation, augmented reality solutions with the recently-launched Microsoft HoloLens IT development for ‘predictive maintenance’ concepts and virtual 360-degree tours through spinning plants, visitors to the trade fair will be offered everything that state-of-the-art technology makes possible today. Linked to future-oriented service and automation solutions, Oerlikon wants to prepare its customers for the future of manmade fiber production. The fact that this will ultimately result in improved yarn quality goes without saying for the market leader, along with offering environmentally-compatible and sustainable production processes. Here, the segment will be presenting its e-save initiative for the 12th year in succession and showcasing new recycling solutions – ‘From shredded PET to value add’. 

A new addition to the WINGS POY and FDY family 

The WINGS POY family now has a further new member, now also including the WINGS POY HD available for processing high titers. With its expanded godet system, the new winder has been designed especially for the requirements of high yarn titers of up to 500den polyester POY. In conjunction with the EvoQuench radial quenching system, microfilament yarns with high titer ranges can now also be manufactured with outstanding properties

Combined with the eAFK texturing machine – also designed for high titers – Oerlikon Barmag therefore offers a total ‘From Melt to Draw Textured Yarn’ concept that produces polyester DTY with up to 450den in accustomed Oerlikon Barmag DTY quality

eAFK HQ – texturing in a new dimension 

With the eAFK HQ, Oerlikon Barmag will be presenting the world’s most productive automatic texturing machine at the ITMA Asia + CITME. Furthermore, the new eAFK HQ simultaneously excels as a result of its extremely space-saving construction. With this, customers are able to texture their products in the tried-and-tested quality, assured by Oerlikon Barmag, on a machine with the smallest space requirements in the DTY market. At the same time, they benefit from the 50% increase in productivity offered by the eAFK HQ compared to other texturing machines supplied by competitors. 

The eAFK HQ is designed with 12 sections, each with 48 positions. Compared to the eAFK machine – with more than 1,000 successful installations worldwide – a fourth level in the winding unit of the eAFK HQ increases the capacity of the machine to 576 positions – a world record! And all this with simultaneously considerably reduced energy consumption. The newly-developed compact block heater lowers energy costs by reducing the radiated heat loss. With the highest level of precision, the new ATT traverse system ensures excellent package build. 

Industrial textiles becoming increasingly popular 

For the industrial textiles growth market, Oerlikon Barmag will be unveiling its latest developments for the production of yarns used in airbags, safety belts and tire cord. Here, the focus will, above all, be on polyamide 6 and polyamide 6.6 solutions. However, the very latest process and machine solutions will also be unveiled for polyester applications – for low shrinkage and high tenacity yarns, among others.
