Precision increases production

How densely and accurately a yarn is wound up when manufacturing dye packages is crucial to the color quality and the productivity of the dyeing process.

Dye packages with optimal yarn density

SSM is setting new benchmarks in this area with the high-precision backpressure system preciforce. Dye packages with all kinds of yarns thus show a significantly better dyeing behavior. As such, in the production of cotton dye packages the effective package density can be increased and processed with a very low density tolerance of up to +/-1 g/l. The package build-up is extremely uniform, which gives the customer two advantages: more yarn per package and therefore increased production per dyeing process, as well as a consistent color quality.

The crucial factor – the yarn density – is now an independent value that can be entered and regulated on the operating unit of the precision winding machine. The backpressure system preciforce is offered as an option on new winding machines XENO-YW, YD, PB, TU and AC and can easily be retrofitted on older models of the specified machine types.

Driving circularity with Uster Recycled Fiber Matrix

The textile industry’s commitment to circularity continues to accelerate, and mechanical recycling is viewed as a targeted approach to cutting textile waste and its environmental impact. At the forefront of this drive, Uster has developed the Recycled Fiber Matrix, a two-dimensional assessment of mechanically recycled fibers to guide optimum processing and end-uses.

Greater efficiency for tomorrow’s textile industry

From September 24 to 27, 2026, Barmag, together with BB Engineering (BBE), will present innovative solutions for the efficient and sustainable production of synthetic yarns at the Egy Stitch & Tex Expo in Cairo, Egypt. Under the motto “A New Era. Powered by Innovation.,” experts from Barmag and BBE will present technologies spanning the entire textile value chain — from melt to yarn — at the ATAG Ltd. booth (Hall 1, Booth C1).

Archroma wins ICIS Innovation Award for sulfur dye breakthrough

Archroma, a global leader in specialty chemicals, has won a coveted 2026 ICIS Innovation Award for Best Product Innovation from a Large Company for FiberColors®. These high-performance sulfur dyes are synthesized from pre-consumer wool waste, reducing industry reliance on petroleum-based inputs while contributing to the circular economy by upcycling unwanted wool that farmers would otherwise pay to dispose of.
