The first fully automated rotor spinning machine R 70 was delivered to Nipas Tekstil in Turkey in 2020. This pioneer machine commenced operations at the company’s mill in Nipas’s hometown of Osmaniye and has helped strengthen the company’s reputation in the demanding rotor market. Today, the R 70 runs at many customers worldwide. Nipas Tekstil and Rieter celebrated the milestone delivery at this year’s ITM 2022 during a handover ceremony after two years of travel restrictions due to the pandemic.

The R 70 delivers high productivity, improved raw material utilization and low energy consumption. Furthermore, it offers automation at each spinning position and state-of-the-art spinning box technology. 

Nipas also benefits from high production efficiency and stable running performance. The high-quality yarn stands out for its good running properties in downstream processes.

DIENES at Techtextil 2026: Flexible pilot lines for bio-based fiber development

The growing relevance of bio-based materials in technical textiles is accompanied by increasing demands for reproducibility, high-quality data, and scalable process routes. Especially when working with cellulose and its derivatives, chitosan, lignin-based approaches, or bio-based PAN as a carbon-fiber precursor, R&D teams face variable feedstock quality, tighter process windows, and the need for reliable comparability across trials. This calls for flexible, data-driven experimental setups that can be reconfigured efficiently when recipes, solvents, and raw-material batches change.
