Trützschler Spinning

At this year's ITMA Asia, Trützschler Spinning will present the newest carding technology for China. Details about this innovation will be disclosed at the show. Visitors should not miss the opportunity to experience this new technology first hand. Experts from Trützschler’s Spinning business unit will also present the third generation of the Integrated Draw Frame, the IDF 3. And of course, the teams will also stand prepared to give up-close insights into the world’s first 12-head comber, the TCO 21XL. These innovations achieve higher efficiency, lower energy consumption, digitalization and intelligent automation for fiber processing in spinning mills. The technological expertise enables customers to boost value and profit by producing sliver with higher levels of quality at outstanding production speeds.

Trützschler Nonwovens

Representatives from the Nonwovens business will showcase solutions for more sustainable wipe materials made of pulp and other fibers from renewable resources. This includes results from trials of bamboo pulp combined with viscose/lyocell fibers to make fine baby, body and flushable wipes with mechanical, haptic and visual properties comparable to traditional paper-grade NBSK (Northern Bleached Softwood Kraft) pulp. Bamboo is fast-growing and can be harvested after just three years. That makes it a more sustainable alternative to pulp from softwood trees like pine, spruce or larch because those trees take decades to grow – so harvesting them has a larger negative impact by depleting forest resources.

The teams will also put a spotlight on Trützschler’s market-proven technologies for Wet-Laid/Spunlace (WLS) and Carded/Pulp (CP). These processes have proven effective in creating cost-efficient, biodegradable nonwovens for flushable wipes and single-use wet wipes.

Trützschler Card Clothing

Last but not least, Trützschler Card Clothing (TCC) will present a wide range of their comprehensive service portfolio, demonstrating how the combination of expertise in clothings, wires and service will bring machinery performance to the next level.

STEELTOP®: A new benchmark in flat tops for spinning preparation

Modern carding generations achieve higher production performance, placing significantly greater stress on flat tops. Higher cylinder speeds and increased fiber density, combined with tighter carding gaps, create more demanding operating conditions. At the same time, poorer raw material quality and the increased use of recycled materials further intensify these challenges. With STEELTOP®, Trützschler introduces a new full steel flat top series developed for these demanding modern carding processes.

Ibrahim Fibres and Trützschler: A strong partnership enters its next phase with the TC 30Si

For more than two decades, Ibrahim Fibres and Trützschler have grown side by side, driven by a shared ambition to continuously improve spinning performance, strengthen technology leadership and set new benchmarks in the textile industry. Today, Ibrahim Fibres is a leading yarn and polyester staple fiber manufacturer in Pakistan. The company operates the largest number of Trützschler cards in the country, with more than 200 machines running across its mills in Faisalabad, and plays an important role in one of Asia’s largest textile industries.

Trützschler’s Integrated Draw Frame IDF 3: Unlocking the full potential of short fiber processing

Spinning mills worldwide are looking for solutions that combine higher productivity, stable quality and shorter processes, especially when processing short fibers. Trützschler’s integrated draw frame IDF 3 has proven to be a powerful answer to these requirements. Evaluations from several customer trials in Türkiye under real production conditions highlight the strong performance of the IDF 3, particularly when combined with the next-generation card TC 30i.
