Loepfe Yarnmaster® Prisma offers innovative RGB full-color monitoring

RGB foreign matter detection is the new benchmark for spinners when managing contamination control precisely to individual requirements. The YarnMaster PRISMA F-sensor illuminates the yarn in the full spectrum of light using the additive RGB color model. This absolutely unique technology for yarn quality control which uses the three primary colors red, green and blue, adding wavelength for wavelength to enable world unique full-color monitoring.

This unparalleled full color functionality heralds in a new era of foreign matter detection. Enabling unprecedented reliability in the detection of foreign matter - in all colors – even delicate shades and whatever the glossiness differences, in any type of yarn, or indeed in any color and mixtures thereof!

Beyond that, the RGB technology allows a new color-based determination of organic materials within the yarn to separate them from regular disturbing foreign matter. These organic materials, in particular, do not necessarily have to be removed from the yarn during the winding process, as they are eliminated in subsequent processes anyway. Important factors such as these are taken into account by YarnMaster PRISMA and given the highest priority. This is because the precise detection and classification of a disturbing or non-disturbing defect leads directly to a lower cut rate, which immediately results in higher efficiency and waste reduction. This is an absolute MUST for the efficient and effective performance of a spinning mill.

The YarnMaster PRISMA yarn clearer system is the right choice for every spinning mill. Starting in basic yarn clearing where already a massive increase in efficiency - while keeping the chosen quality - can be achieved. Going further, through all quality levels up to the absolute super-yarn that is free from defects which could not even be seen by the human eye.

In summary, the YarnMaster PRISMA enables the spinner to reliably guide the yarn quality control completely according to his needs while balancing its efficiency and quality. This aligns fully to meet Loepfe’s ultimate goal - ‘we want YOU to perform’.

30 years ago, in 1991, Loepfe took a pioneering role in the introduction of foreign matter detection based on the SIRO yarn clearing principle. The degree of raw material contamination has not improved since then. The ability to control the contamination in yarns is therefore still of greatest importance to spinners. With YarnMaster PRISMA, Loepfe once again assumes the leading role and elevates yarn clearing to a new level - providing maximum reliability in foreign matter detection.

Rieter sees Barmag integration on track as orders and sales rise

The first half of 2026 was shaped by the successful completion of the largest acquisition in Rieter’s history. The Man-Made Fiber Division enables entry into the growth segment of man-made fibers and sustainably strengthens Rieter’s market position in the Asia region. The expanded Group is now the world’s leading system supplier for the processing of natural and man-made fibers. In the first half of the year, initial cost savings in material costs and operating expenses have already been realized. The targeted synergies are expected to amount to at least CHF 20 million by the end of the 2028 financial year. Due to the completion of the acquisition on February 2, 2026, the first half of the year for the Man-Made Fiber Division only amounts to five months.

Barmag Fuzhou Customer Day concludes successfully, boosting high-quality chemical fiber growth in Fujian & Guangdong

Barmag hosted its Customer Day themed “A New Era. Powered by Innovation.” in Fuzhou on June 28, welcoming nearly one hundred invited customers from Fujian and Guangdong provinces. Georg Stausberg, CEO of Barmag Group, attended along-side the sales and R&D expert China team to jointly present integrated solutions covering the entire man-made fiber value chain.

STEELTOP®: A new benchmark in flat tops for spinning preparation

Modern carding generations achieve higher production performance, placing significantly greater stress on flat tops. Higher cylinder speeds and increased fiber density, combined with tighter carding gaps, create more demanding operating conditions. At the same time, poorer raw material quality and the increased use of recycled materials further intensify these challenges. With STEELTOP®, Trützschler introduces a new full steel flat top series developed for these demanding modern carding processes.

Ibrahim Fibres and Trützschler: A strong partnership enters its next phase with the TC 30Si

For more than two decades, Ibrahim Fibres and Trützschler have grown side by side, driven by a shared ambition to continuously improve spinning performance, strengthen technology leadership and set new benchmarks in the textile industry. Today, Ibrahim Fibres is a leading yarn and polyester staple fiber manufacturer in Pakistan. The company operates the largest number of Trützschler cards in the country, with more than 200 machines running across its mills in Faisalabad, and plays an important role in one of Asia’s largest textile industries.
