Exhibitors at the Techtextil are presenting their new products under the slogan “Connecting the Futureâ€Â. Groz-Beckert will be at the Techtextil presenting its comprehensive product portfolio and service offering in the areas of knitting, weaving, felting, carding and sewing in Hall 3.0 at Booth F03.
In knitting, Groz-Beckert is presenting its product portfolio for the technologies circular knitting, warp knitting and flat knitting, as well as customer-specific solutions. With system solutions from a single source, the company is responding to more stringent requirements for wear, load capacity of key components and the workability of different materials. Increased market penetration in warp knitting and the processing of materials such as metal and glass-fiber in flat-knitting mills call for custom-tailored solutions. The weaving department is presenting its comprehensive range of products for weaving preparation and weaving accessories at the Techtextil. A highlight of the portfolio is the PosiLeno® leno system, which boosts efficiency by up to 100 per cent. Moreover, an acrylic weaving machine mock-up, the WeavingLoom, will provide insight into the operation of heald frames, healds, warp stop motions and drop wires. The jacquard heald is also demonstrated using the WeavingLoom. Made of mono wire, this product facilitates not only high densities but also a particularly gentle workmanship. In combination with the innovative thread eye, which is glued into the mono wire instead of welded, Groz-Beckert provides for uniform fabric quality and high machine efficiency. The weaving product portfolio is complemented by a comprehensive and worldwide service offering distinguished by expert knowledge and intensive application advice. Scores of affiliated companies in all major textile centres and a far-reaching network of representatives warrant all-round technical service. With its product area Felting the company puts its contribution to the nonwovens industry on display. The service life of felting and structuring needles have been, and are, important issues in nonwoven manufacturing. Now, Groz-Beckert is presenting its latest innovation: Groz-Beckert® dur. The patented manufacturing process of the needles in combination with a new base material improves resistance to corrosion with up to 30 per cent longer service life.
