Bräcker, Graf, Novibra, Suessen had enriching and fruitful discussions at Shanghaitex

Suessen presented the new compact spinning system EliTe®Advanced (c) 2015 Suessen

From June 15 – 18, 2015, Bräcker, Graf, Novibra and Suessen presented in Shanghai their newly developed Premium Components. Through the competent performance of the sales team and the comprehensive display of premium products, the visitors were able to see and experience the difference of the premium products from Bräcker, Graf, Novibra and Suessen.

Bräcker presented the latest two new spinning rings redORBIT und OPAL®. The redORBIT and the OPAL® rings are the answers to the demands of today’s fast paced spinning industry, where the spinning mills have to work with very tight cost control, whilst adapting quickly to the ever faster changing markets.

Graf as always set the quality standard in the field of card clothing and combing articles. The advanced clothing magnifier provided the opportunity to visually demonstrate the precision of the well-proven Graf card clothings. The numerous visitors could thus be convinced of the high-quality products first-hand.

Novibra, the leader in spindle technology and the only 100% in-house spindle maker presented their wide range of spindles. The high-speed spindle and modern clamping crown CROCOdoff attracted attention during the exhibition. As the quality demand for textile components is increasing faster than ever before, the products from Novibra presenting the highest quality of spindle are becoming more and more popular in China.

Suessen presented the new compact spinning system EliTe®Advanced for short staple fibres and the Top Weighting Arm HP-GX 4010plus for roving frames. The outstanding features impressed the visitors. They were extremely interested in the possible savings in energy, consumables and maintenance effort as well as in the increased yarn production, lower ends-down rates and improved yarn quality parameters provided by the new system.

Development of bio-based polyethylene fibers for textile applications – BB Engineering partici-pates in the bioPEtex research project

In the German research project bioPEtex, BB Engineering (BBE) is working with other partners to develop textiles made from 100% bio-based polyethylene (PE). The aim is to make use of this poly-mer, which has hardly been used in the chemical fiber industry to date. BBE is contributing its spinning and texturizing expertise and developing the texturing process on an industrial scale. The first promising results are already available – opening up new opportu-nities for sustainable and economically attractive applications in the textile industry.
