DIENES sails with the possibilities offered by the Internet of Things for further innovations. Industry 4.0 maybe mocked as a marketing hype, but for the company allows the progressive integration of bus systems to meet interesting solutions to customer requirements by the engineers.

The path taken in 2006 to undertake engineering tasks for research institutes has resulted in highly flexible and modular spinning systems that are able to cover a wide variety of techniques for fiber formation through an open-loop control system.

The focus of recent years has been on processes for the production of high-performance fibers in the aramid, carbon and ceramic sectors, here especially the solvent spinning processes.

The wet and dry spinning systems are made up of modular components and are intelligently networked via the MultiMode® control system. Research facilities, pilot plants and small production facilities for special tasks are the focus.

The proximity to research institutes has led beyond the normal customer-supplier relationship to joint research projects, which have provided interesting developments and findings in the production of special fibers in recent years.

An example of this is a compact steam duct, developed in collaboration with a genius inventor, which has resulted in uniform heating of a high number of multifilaments, which had not been possible in this way before.

Furthermore, together with the ITA Aachen, a system was designed that accelerates the wet spinning process by controlled, multistage coagulation. For technical implementation, partners in the industry are currently being sought.



In addition, extraordinary processes to carry out reactions under the most difficult conditions, together with the DITF Denkendorf, have taken on a technological challenge in an EU project, which uses a PE precursor with the help of elemental sulfur to produce the preliminary stage to a carbon fiber. As a result, significant savings in the production of carbon fibers can be achieved.

In the field of high performance godets, DIENES focuses on the special applications in the high temperature range. Godets of over 500 ° C have been used successfully for years. Together with ITM Dresden, a joint development of new processes for the production of high-melting polymers is currently taking place.

In addition, DIENES, with ingenious employees in electrical engineering and control technology, is constantly realizing new developments that are redefining Industrie 4.0 in the area of research and development. The systems are now equipped with high-performance processors that realize the necessary control speeds and fastest communication between the modules. So, the equipment, not only documented everything, but it can also be operated from a mobile phone or tablet.

If you are looking for a partner for special solutions in the field of synthetic fiber spinning for high - end products with a unique control performance, then you can’t pass on DIENES!

Visitors at ITMA 2019 will find DIENES at Hall 7 Booth B115.

DIENES at Techtextil 2026: Flexible pilot lines for bio-based fiber development

The growing relevance of bio-based materials in technical textiles is accompanied by increasing demands for reproducibility, high-quality data, and scalable process routes. Especially when working with cellulose and its derivatives, chitosan, lignin-based approaches, or bio-based PAN as a carbon-fiber precursor, R&D teams face variable feedstock quality, tighter process windows, and the need for reliable comparability across trials. This calls for flexible, data-driven experimental setups that can be reconfigured efficiently when recipes, solvents, and raw-material batches change.

DIENES showcases MultiMode®: Pioneering solutions for the development of sustainable carbon fibres at JEC World 2025

DIENES Apparatebau GmbH, a global leader in innovative fibre processing technologies, is delighted to announce its participation at JEC World 2025 in Paris. The company will present its state-of-the-art MultiMode® modular platform, a revolutionary approach to developing sustainable carbon fibres. Visitors can explore DIENES’s advanced solutions at the Baden-Württemberg International stand in hall 6 stand N82.4.

#Techtextil 2024

DIENES at Techtextil 2024

The current accelerated growing demand for technical textile demands a more proactive approach which includes implementing frameworks and technologies for recycling and a broad use of biobased materials as an alternative to conventional polymers. Research work in this field is characterised by a high degree of adaptation needs, hence demanding an efficient, systematic and, in part, self-optimising experimental working system, which must be intelligent in gathering data from the process and flexible in enabling its rearrangement.

GenuTrace client advisory: Is your cotton supply chain UFLPA ready?

U.S. Customs and Border Protection has released updated operational guidance (CBP Publication No. 5560-0526) expanding its forced labor enforcement framework. The guidance supersedes the original 2022 UFLPA Operational Guidance and now covers all forced labor enforcement authorities — UFLPA, CAATSA, and WROs/Findings — in a single unified document. For cotton importers, the enforcement posture has not softened. It has become more structured, more documented, and more demanding. Learn more about UFLPA.
