ALBSTADT - - Groz Beckert is presenting a range of new developments for nonwoven fabric manufacturers at this week’s ITMA Asia + CITME exhibition including new systems for the felting and carding sectors.
On show at in Hall H4, Booth C04, from 14 to 18 November, the felting segment will present products for classic needling and hydroentanglement.
In the felting sector, visitors will be able to see two innovations: a new barb design for felting needles and the Groz-Beckert felting needle module.
The new barb design of the felting needles was specially developed for needling highly abrasive fibres to achieve delayed wear. The barb shape also reduces clogging of the barbs, for example when needling bentonite mats.
The new Groz-Beckert felting needle module was developed in cooperation with the Dilo Group for their innovative MicroPunch intensive needling technology.
Groz-Beckert felting needles are embedded as a module in a plastic mold. The felting needle modules are characterised by very high deformation resistance and offer new dimensions in needle density.
This is made possible by the new intensive needling technology, which was specially developed for light grammages. The assembly and replacement of the modules are also particularly economical.
The division also presents its extensive range of trials on the staple fibre needling line at the Technology and Development Center (TEZ) in Albstadt, Germany, with a virtual tour.
In the field of hydroentanglement, Groz-Beckert is showing its HyTec P jet strip, which features significantly improved wear resistance and handling properties.
Various new and further developments are also being presented in the field of card clothing for the nonwovens industry. These include, for example, the world's finest interlocked card clothing for a reduced risk of crash.
In addition, new SiroLock plus types from the Groz-Beckert InLine card clothing series are being presented, which enable higher plant availability and a more uniform carding result thanks to special geometries.
Numerous products, services and the latest innovations from Groz-Beckert are designed to focus on reducing the company's carbon footprint.
“That Groz-Beckert's commitment also goes beyond this is shown by the sustainability theme corner,” the company said. “Here, examples from the company are presented to show which measures have already been implemented and what role the topic plays in everyday life.”
