Oerlikon Neumag having a strong position in the global market with its innovative technologies offered in yarn machineries is the biggest of textile machinery manufacturer and the company has recently introduced Staple FORCE S 1000, manufactured especially for polyester and polypropylene staple fiber manufacturers. S 1000 designed especially for the growing market about small scaled production with convenient costs achieves this with an exceptionally high production speed of 1 000 meters per minute along with simple and fast handling, which shortens changing times and significantly reduces surplus quantities. With a production capacity of 15 tons per day, the system appeals not only to manufacturers of manmade fibers as it enables them to deliver on demand and expand to markets for special applications. The highly capacitated line embodies Core Components developed by Oerlikon Neumag. 860 mm wide Baltic 860 bender and 700 mm Radius NMC 1400 cutter rigged machine’s PSF production capacity augments in a large scale.
Easy and Fast Use
S 1000 designed for easy and fast use provides shorter replacement times compared to conventional production lines. By omitting the steam and water-bath processes, the new procedure uses significantly less energy and water, which saves money and is better for the environment. The additional investment costs are also minimal. The extremely compact system, S 1000, only takes up 450 square meters of floor space and can be installed on a standard industrial floor.
The Nonwovens Production Market Increases
Stefan Kross, CEO of the Oerlikon Manmade Fibers Segment having spokent at S 1000 market launch; “ The global market for manmade fibers, such as polyester, polypropylene and bicomponents, used in the production of nonwovens grows around 5 % each year. In 2015, total demand is expected to amount to 3.2 million tons for carded nonwovens alone. They are primarily used in geotextiles for civil engineering, in filtration materials, for application in the automotive industry in insulation and interiors, and for numerous special applications. The market requires both smaller production quantities that can be delivered on short notice and cost-effective manufacturing processes. Up until now, these requirements were incompatible. While demand requires average daily production of 15 tons to 20 tons of fibers per production line, today's production lines are designed to produce significantly larger quantities, which makes them less flexible.
"With the Staple FORCE S 1000, we can close the gap between demand, which is focused more on daily production, and cost-efficient production. At the same time, by integrating fiber production into operations, we enable downstream manufacturers to better coordinate product development and also improve quality control," said.
