Dilo Group to showcase Advanced Needling Technology at ITMA ASIA

Visitors will be introduced to recent accomplishments, updates on service, software, and emerging fields of expertise.

Dilo Group, together with Kansan Materials, Izmir, will be present at Booth No. H2 – D202 at ITMA ASIA, showcasing the latest developments in nonwoven machinery and products. The company will present its full range of machinery for complete nonwoven lines, as well as single specialty machines, alongside products developed at the Dilo Research and Application Centre. Visitors will also be introduced to recent accomplishments, updates on service, software, and emerging fields of expertise.

Specializing in complete needling lines, Dilo Group collaborates with Temafa, Spinnbau, DiloMachines, DiloSystems, and DG Engineering to provide state-of-the-art solutions. As a leader in needling technology for decades, the company continuously updates machinery and processes to enable cost-efficient nonwoven production with low energy consumption, particularly emphasizing lightweight products below 100 g/sqm for hygiene, cosmetic, and medical applications.

A wide array of advanced needling lines is available, combining high-throughput fibre preparation, precise card feeding, high-speed carding and crosslapping, and drafting frames to achieve an MD to CD ratio of 1:1. The MicroPunch model series allows product weights of approximately 30 g/sqm, mechanically consolidated by needling or light thermobonding, providing versatile product quality features.

At ITMA ASIA, Dilo Group will exhibit lightweight applications with physical samples, as well as products with very large area weights up to approximately 5,000 g/sqm, suitable for acoustic panels, sound dampening, and heat insulation. The product range also features 3D-Lofter patterning technology, which uses additive manufacturing by feeding additional fibre onto a needled substrate. Combined with the DILOUR structuring process, this allows coloured fibre patterns and “sliding colour” visual effects, offering modern design solutions for homes, offices, hotels, large buildings, and automotive interiors, reducing fibre consumption while forming lightweight moulded car parts.

The new card feeder IsoFeed VRS supports lower web weights with improved evenness. Advanced machinery such as the PowerPunch needle loom minimizes vibration, while the SuperPunch kinematic system, combining two HyperPunch needle beam drives, enables high throughput with low drafts and larger stroke ranges at lower costs.

Dilo Group’s focus remains on the modernization of needle punch technology, improving throughput, quality, productivity, patterning capabilities, and accommodating a wide range of weights. Needling technology offers energy-efficient production with no water consumption, supporting sustainable manufacturing practices.

The company’s services have also expanded, including the MODILOUS needle board system, designed to reduce costs associated with needle exchanges and maintenance.

Visitors can explore these advancements and the latest developments in Dilo’s needling technology at Booth H2 – D202, ITMA ASIA.
