Retech will present advantages of its leading godet rolls at Techtextil

Godet rolls are essential components in the production of synthetic fibres. These heated, ambient or cooled rolls help achieve the perfect yarn quality for a range of materials and applications when it comes to heat treatment for filament fibre applications. Retech's heated godet rolls are designed to meet critical requirements: delivering precise temperature control tailored to each material and maintaining consistent temperature levels throughout the process.

Leveraging cutting-edge technology, including single-zone or multi-zone heating via induction, Retech’s designs guarantee accuracy and precision in temperature profiles, thereby ensuring constant yarn quality with every production run.

In addition to the energy-saving motors and energy-optimised heaters, a very important part of the Retech godet concept is the long service life and the associated permanent availability, thus reducing machine downtimes and customer claims. Therefore, Retech has equipped its godets with additional measuring elements in order to be able to react preventively to possible damage and subsequent failure.

Thanks to the sophisticated, innovative and proven temperature measuring transmission system - UTR-6A, which measures the temperatures in the rotating godet and transmits the data to the temperature controller UCR-6 for processing without contact, it is possible to take further measurements, collect data and evaluate them. To protect the godet, the bearing system, the induction heater, the ongoing production and ultimately the sustainability of the entire process and the godet itself.

Meet Retech at Stand B01 in Hall 12 at Techtextil Frankfurt.

50 years of Swiss precision - Retech highlights latest technology to produce high-quality synthetic fibers

High-quality synthetic fiber production requires uncompromising precision and process stability. Godet rolls play a key role in ensuring exact temperature control and maximum reliability. As a Swiss pioneer in thermal treatment for filament fibers, Retech has been setting benchmarks for five decades – with technologies that make production processes smarter, more efficient, and more sustainable.

Successful trade fair appearance of the IVGT members

SA Dynamics receives Innovation Award

Making buildings and clothing completely sustainable in the future and thus protecting the climate - SA-Dynamics is making this a reality. Dr Sascha Schriever and Maximilian Mohr were honoured with the a Techtextil Innovation Award in the "New Technologies on Sustainability & Recycling" category on behalf of the SA-Dynamics team at Techtextil in Frankfurt am Main.

Circular economy, sustainable and regional: Gebr. Otto has answers to the topics of Techtextil 2024

Techtextil, the most important trade fair of the year for Dietenheim-based yarn spinning mill Gebr Otto, came to an end last Friday, April 26. The company presented its products and reported on its latest developments at the BW-i joint stand: These include a concept for sustainable period underwear developed together with Kelheim Fibres, a yarn blend of cotton and native hemp and the collaboration with the recycling studio at ITA Augsburg. The Gebr. Otto trade fair team can draw a positive conclusion: numerous visitors on all days of the fair as well as orders for samples and new project inquiries to take home.

DiloGroup’s In-house Exhibition on the occasion of Techtextil

Techtextil in Frankfurt is traditionally one of the most important show events worldwide for DiloGroup as a specialist for complete nonwoven manufacturing lines with a long-term speciality as provider of state-of-the-art needling lines. Also this year, Dilo and group members TEMAFA and Spinnbau were situated in hall 12, booth B81, their traditional location, adjacent to needle specialist Groz-Beckert as well as partners and competitors.

Sustainable, lightweight, and sound absorbing: Polyester-based front trunk solution for BEVs

As car manufacturers look to further reduce their carbon footprint, Autoneum has developed an innovative front trunk solution for battery electric vehicles (BEVs), made entirely from polyester-based textile. The Ultra-Silent Frunk offers significant weight reduction, improved acoustic and thermal insulation, and uses up to 70 percent recycled material, supporting sustainable and efficient vehicle design. Autoneum, global technology leader in acoustic and thermal management for vehicles, has already received orders for the new frunk from three major OEMs in Asia and Europe to be built in three BEV models. Series production for two BEVs has been underway in China and Germany since last year.

Modern testing methods for raw cotton

The 38th International Cotton Conference Bremen will take place from 25 to 27 March 2026 at the Bremen Parliament. This conference has traditionally stood for in-depth expertise and international exchange. The program will focus on technical innovations, market trends, and regulatory frameworks across the entire value chain – from agriculture to the circular economy. With high-profile speakers, the conference is regarded as the key meeting point for the global cotton industry. Today’s focus: Cotton quality and testing methods.

Rieter responds to higher raw material prices

Global political and economic developments have been leading to rising raw material and energy costs for some time. The textile machinery industry is also affected by this trend. Rieter machines and components consist to a large extent of steel, copper, aluminum and electronics. These materials in particular have seen higher demand and higher prices in recent months.
