Truetzschler will discuss sustainable nonwovens

WLS-wipes from Voith and Truetzschler (c) 2019 Truetzschler

From May 14th to 17th Truetzschler Nonwovens presents production lines for “green” nonwovens at Techtextil (hall 3.0 booth B03).

Since decades machine supplier answered requirements on enhanced product quality, better line efficiency and higher productivity with new concepts and innovative processes. Now we see a new dimension rising. As a supplier of complete production lines Truetzschler Nonwovens offers machinery, service and know-how out of one hand – everything from implementing product ideas to enabling new businesses.

At booth B03 in hall 3.0 the focus is on solutions for processing eco-friendly materials. Cotton fibers – both virgin cotton and comber noils – make an excellent raw material for top-quality wipes. Truetzschler’s random and airlay cards are especially configured to cope with variable fiber lengths and a high short fiber content.

The NCR and NCA cards reliably and efficiently form webs for the kind of soft cotton wipes sought after in premium markets worldwide.

Another focus point is fully biodegradable wet-laid and spunlaced (WLS) wipes. Voith and Truetzschler go one step beyond flushable wipes and show pulp and lyocell-based materials with sufficient strength to compete with conventional wipes from polyester/viscose blends. Proven machinery from both companies - such as Voith’s HydroFormer and Truetzschler’s AquaJet - add up to a versatile wet-laying and spunlacing line for future-fit end products.

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.

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.

Rieter sees Barmag integration on track as orders and sales rise

The first half of 2026 was shaped by the successful completion of the largest acquisition in Rieter’s history. The Man-Made Fiber Division enables entry into the growth segment of man-made fibers and sustainably strengthens Rieter’s market position in the Asia region. The expanded Group is now the world’s leading system supplier for the processing of natural and man-made fibers. In the first half of the year, initial cost savings in material costs and operating expenses have already been realized. The targeted synergies are expected to amount to at least CHF 20 million by the end of the 2028 financial year. Due to the completion of the acquisition on February 2, 2026, the first half of the year for the Man-Made Fiber Division only amounts to five months.
