Oerlikon Neumag attracted great interest from many trade visitors with its Color Pop Compacting Unit displayed at Domotex 2020 organized on 10-13 January. The new Color Pop Compacting unit (CPC-T) for the BCF S8 carpet yarn plant provides more flexibility in color and pattern designs by offering more than 200,000 different color shades.
Following the trend for multicolored carpets, BCF S8 sets new standards in regard to color separation. The plant, launched as a tricolor solution at last year’s ITMA in Barcelona, makes anything possible – from mélange to strongly separated. It promises carpet yarn producers even more flexible color mixing variants for product differentiation. The core component in this process, the Color Pop Compacting unit (CPC-T), offers more than 200,000 different color shades from three colors. The innovation, which has been filed for patent, is available for polypropylene and polyester polymers as well as for the polyamide 6 process.
Polyester, recycling polyester and fine titers are on trend
Martin Rademacher, Head of Sales Oerlikon Neumag, “Our customers increasingly demand plants that can process recycled polyester,” he said.
The Manmade Fibers segment presented an additional solution by Oerlikon Barmag for polyester applications that need fine single filament titers from 0.5 dpf and high filament counts: Puffy, soft polyester filament yarns with BCF-similiar properties are produced on the basis of a POY and texturing process. Core components of the processes are the POY take-up unit WINGS HD as well as the new texturing machine eAFK Big-V.
“Our Customers are quality conscious”
Niels Herrmann, Director for Service Sales at Oerlikon Neumag, “All in all, we have been able to secure original parts, service and modernisation orders in the six-digit euro range,” says, with pleasure. “Our customers are very quality conscious. They know that high-quality yarn and an efficient production depend on the optimal condition of the system,” he said.
