Loepfe will present YarnMaster® PRISMA in Shanghai

Loepfe showcases in Hall 8 – Booth C22 the market-leading YarnMaster® PRISMA along with its well-established counterpart YarnMaster® ZENIT+. With this dual offering, Loepfe uniquely leads both on technology and performance as well as on the proven reliability and price dimensions.

YarnMaster® PRISMA dazzles with its innovative use of four distinct sensor technologies – a unique blend that for the first time combines infrared optical, RGB optical, capacitive and triboelectric sensors and collaborating in perfect harmony, along with connectivity for the digital age. These elements not only allow the detection of previously invisible yarn faults and irregularities, but also the collection and analysis of data for effective online quality management through Loepfe’s MillMaster® TOP management cockpit.

Loepfe’s Head of Product & Solutions, Guido Wieland commented: “YarnMaster ZENIT+ is highly regarded as our workhorse and has been well-established over the years. And while our competitors are still using sensor technology that has been developed more than a decade ago, with YarnMaster® PRISMA we have clearly set the global benchmark for yarn clearing sensor technologies. Drawing on today’s smart technology, we have taken performance in its various applications to a whole new level. The whole team is excited to see the enthusiasm generated by the YarnMaster® PRISMA – and our motivation to deliver even more intelligent solutions is at an all-time high. Watch this space!”




Due to the prevailing Covid-19 travel restrictions, Loepfe will be represented at ITMA Asia 2021 by its partners C.N.T. - CIMACO Ltd. and Point Hope (Textile Machinery) Ltd., while Loepfe representatives will be available for ad-hoc conference calls at any time.

#Functional Fabrics

“Action helps us change what we do!”

DAY 0 takes place deliberately before PERFORMANCE DAYS begins. It is conceived as a space for reflection, dialogue and active engagement — a moment to pause before the fair, rethink established systems and address sustainability not as a trend, but as a fundamental transformation challenge. Under the guiding metaphor “Turn the Tap Off”, DAY 0 focuses on root causes rather than symptoms, systemic change rather than isolated solutions, and collective responsibility rather than individual silos.

VAUDE eliminates PFAS from all products

PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are now detectable worldwide – in drinking water, soil and the human body. These so-called “forever chemicals” are considered hazardous to health and potentially carcinogenic, as they do not break down and remain in the environment permanently. Despite these risks, PFAS are still used in a wide range of products. More than 15 years ago, VAUDE made a strategic decision to gradually eliminate PFAS from all product categories.
