DTY Jet insert APe043 redefines low denier yarn processing

Heberlein Technology, a leader in air interlacing and texturing jets, is set to showcase its latest products at GTTES in Mumbai, India. Key highlights include the new housing generation HemaJet-LB06 and the DTY jet insert APe043, featuring a record-small 0.65 mm orifice for superior performance in extremely low denier yarns.

Record-small 0.65mm orifice launched during GTTES 2025

The Indian market drives demand for lightweight, premium fabrics using ultra-fine yarns, especially for activewear and luxury garments. The surge in synthetic fibre manufacturing positions Heberlein’s innovations as essential tools for meeting these needs. Visitors at GTTES 2025 receive first-hand information at Heberlein and are warmly invited to come and see the Swiss company at booth D17 in hall 3.

APe043 Jet insert improves productivity and profitability

The APe043 Jet insert minimizes yarn displacement, preventing undeveloped knots and ensuring smooth production for ultra-fine yarns down to 20 denier. This new technical development aligns with the increasing demand for high-quality fabrics in global markets and supports the rapid growth of polyamide filament production capacity. On top, the APe043 jet insert features energy-efficient technology resulting in a positive impact on the mill’s profit.

HemaJet-LB06 – the economic solution for ATY

Heberlein, known for the production of high-quality jets for air texturing, offers the complete solution from a single source. The brand new robust HemaJet-LB06 jet housing is compatible with all Heberlein jet core series (T, A, and S).

This compatibility makes it an ideal solution for various air texturing process requirements. The distance between the impact body and the jet core can be easily adjusted using various gauges, allowing for precise control and optimization of the texturing process.

Heberlein jet cores are the reliable solution for the ATY industry for decades. Suiting a wide range of requirements like compact and uniform yarns from 30dtex up to 3,000dtex or softer, textile yarns achieved through a higher overfeed potential. In a nutshell, Heberlein provides the ideal solution for every application. Customers can choose from the great jet core portfolio and whatever jet core fits the needs, it fits – guaranteed – the housing too.

The new generation of spinning jet

Worldwide recognition receives the PolyJet-SP3 for spinning textile yarn. Producers of demanding technical yarns highly appreciate the PolyJet-TG-3-HP405A/WO70 (TopAir) achieving yarn with unmatched even and uniform interlacing density. Furthermore, this jet impresses customers with strong, reliable knots for high-tenacity yarns (HT and HMLS). Heberlein’s PolyJet-TG-3 achieves more than 12 knots per meter with 1100f98dtex and 1670f98dtex. Additionally, yarn parameters of tensile strength, elongation, and elasticity show smaller variations, for ultimate quality benefits, as well as improved unwinding behaviour of the bobbins.

A typical Heberlein benefit comes with the PolyJet series SP-3 and TG-3. The high-performance air interlacing jets for textile and technical yarns offer a unique quick-release system, so jet packs can be exchanged within seconds, with just a single 180-degree turn. They also feature a compact, space-saving design and a roll bar to protect the ceramic surfaces.

Jets developed for filament perfection

Heberlein Technology AG, Wattwil, Switzerland, October 2, 2025 – Heberlein, the leading supplier of air interlacing and air texturing jets, aims to impress visitors at ITMA Asia + CITME 2025. Novel solutions will be presented, which will allow filament yarn producers to achieve special quality specifications and process optimization. As expected from Heberlein, these latest developments combine the most sophisticated technology with user convenience and savings potential.

It’s the know-how that counts

The Textile Technology Centre is the pride of Heberlein. State-of-the-art equipment and a team of top experts guarantee the highest standards of support for customers. Heberlein is the leading provider of air interlacing and air texturing jets for synthetic continuous filament yarns and its clients enjoy added value in the form of practical help and guidance on textile processes and economic issues, with a special focus on filament yarn applications.

A dynasty of innovators across 190 years

The art of reorientation runs through Heberlein's 190-year company history. Georg Philipp Heberlein and his descendants ran an exemplary family business with roots in yarn dyeing. It developed into a corporate group and ultimately became a highly specialised company that is regarded as the world’s leading provider of air interlacing and air texturing jets for synthetic continuous filament yarns.

ATY one-stop solution provider ready for China

Heberlein, the leading supplier of air interlacing and air texturing jets, aims to impress visitors at ITMA Asia + CITME 2024 with an amazing technical achievement in DTY and the latest components, including the brand new HemaJet-LB06. The jet housing shows great compatibility and makes the Swiss company a one-stop supplier for air-texturing processing.

Monitor, adjust, perfect

FiberGuard BCF is the name of the new system for real-time monitoring of yarn tension in all Neumag BCF production processes. Barmag, the innovation and technology leader for filament spinning systems, presented this innovation of its Neumag product line at ITMA Asia + CITME in Singapore last November. The new BCF yarn tension sensor is compatible with all current Neumag BCF machines and can be easily retrofitted to existing Neumag BCF S8 machines.

“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.

Pets in fashion: functional and sustainable textiles find new market at Intertextile Apparel

China’s pet economy is booming, especially amongst younger generations, and pet apparel – from designer outfits to functional garments – was a RMB 3.5 billion (over USD 500 million) market in 2024, growing more than 20% annually¹. To help exhibitors harness this trend, Intertextile Shanghai Apparel Fabrics – Spring Edition 2026 will launch the Pet Boutique, presenting a range of innovative, sustainable materials that prioritise both functionality and comfort for pets.

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.

Lenzing AG to become majority owner of TreeToTextile AB and accelerates industrialization of new fibers

The Lenzing Group is taking another strategic milestone by acquiring a controlling majority in the Swedish innovation company TreeToTextile AB. This step strengthens Lenzing’s position as a leading provider of sustainable, wood‑based specialty fibers and expands its innovation pipeline with a highly scalable, patent‑protected technology platform. The transaction is executed through the issuance of new shares.
