DTY yarns – uncompromising quality and maximum flexibility

Clothing, home textiles, automotive - there are countless applications for textured yarns. Oerlikon Barmag offers a wide range of different DTY machine configurations for the efficient and sustainable production of high-quality textured yarns made of various polymers, from polyester and polyamide to polypropylene, PLA and PTT. With sophisticated components, know-how and proven technology, the modular DTY machines - whether manual or automatic - produce textured yarns for excellent further processing in downstream processes at optimum OPEX costs.

Recycling is the future

OBHE's homogenizing technology stands for the mechanical recycling of processed polyester waste such as post-industrial waste (popcorn), bottle flakes and film. The Oerlikon Barmag homogenizer ensures a homogeneous melt, influences the viscosity increase and thus makes it possible to produce defined rPET pre-products for further processing, such as melt, pellets or fiber material for direct spinning. The first plants have already been successfully commissioned worldwide.
