Switzerland-based company with a long history, Oerlikon Barmag serves the textile sector with about 17 thousand employees in more than 150 countries in 38 countries. Manufacturing innovative industrial solutions and high level nano-technologies in the fields of textile machinery, propulsion systems, vacuum, laminated coating and advanced nano-technology, Oerlikon constituted a new reference for effective production of polyester fibres with the new winder, Wings Poy 1800.
With Wings Poy 1800 which enhances the efficiency by 20 % with the new winding unit using the same production area as the previous models, Oerlikon proved once more its technology leadership in the filament yarn field. Standing out with its remarkable technologies, Oerlikon Barmag ensures the production of 40 % of all synthetic fibres throughout the worlds owing to its equipment.
Wings Poy 1800
While yarns manufactured with Wings Poy 1800 are used in manufacturing clothes, tyres, safety belts, pillows and geotextiles, Winding Integrated Godet Solutions include equipment which requires 30 % less area, is easy to use and ground breaking.
In comparison to Wings models presented to the textile sector in 2007, Wings Poy 1800 was introduced to the market with 12 bobbins, with the addition of 2 more bobbins. In this way, synthetic fibre manufacturers obtain more efficient results with the application allowing an increase of 20 % in the yarn production.
CEO of Synthetic Fibre Segment of Oerlikon, Stephan Kross said that: “We will use this system in order to support the sustainability of a market share reaching to 40 % in the industry of synthetic fibre machinery. We have got ahead of our rivals with Wings Poy 1800. Unlike the other spinning products in the market, Wings ensures efficient and robust filament production and offers high yarn quality.”
Oerlikon is at JEC Fair
Oerlikon Barmag will display its latest innovations at JEC Fair which is the biggest composite industry organisation of the Europe and World and will be held on 11-13 March. Composite base materials and polyacrylnitril and aramide yarns will be exhibited.
Stating that the use of textile composites which have been in use since 1960s has recently increased, the authorities of Oerlikon added that these materials have high resistance and hardness at low densities, high energy storing behaviours as well as perfect fatigue performance. Stating that the first generation textile composites obtained with layers consisting of single-way fibres and the matrix had lower levels of hardness and resistance in vertical direction to the settlement of fibres, the authorities added that the firm prevented this problem in the newly developed products.
