REMSCHEID, Germany – In advance of the Techtextil exhibition in Frankfurt next month, Oerlikon announced two news items related to its Manmade Fibers segment, Barmag.

 

Sinowin focuses on airbag yarns

 

Ten positions of the new Flex-6 concept for manufacturing polyamide 66 industrial yarns were recently commissioned at Sinowin Chemical Fiber Co., Ltd., China.

 

 The benefits of the new machine concept include components that are optimized to the respective application, which considerably reduce the required space compared to conventional solutions and its optimized energy consumption.

 

“With its new godet configuration, the Flex-6 concept promises an unparalleled price-performance ratio for the production of high-end yarns,” said Oerlikon Barmag Sales Director Oliver Lemke. “Sinowin is therefore the first industrial yarn manufacturer in China to deploy our new technology.”

 

Sinowin is completely committed to creating value for its customers. Here, quality and innovative technologies are absolutely essential, said General Manager Sheng Jian Wang.

 

“We are striving to become a leading ‘Made in China’ enterprise in the chemical fiber industry,” Wang said. “For this, we require state-of-the-art technologies that manufacture quality products. Oerlikon Barmag has an excellent reputation – above all for the PA66 industrial yarn process. To this end, there was no other partner for us.”

 

Sinowin Chemical Fiber Co., Ltd. is an industrial yarn manufacturer that entered the Chinese market in 2015. The young company has specialized in airbag yarns manufactured using Oerlikon Barmag polyamide 66 low denier industrial yarn (LDI) and medium denier industrial yarn (MDI) systems. Sinowin’s program also includes sewing yarns, yarns for luggage, sails and tarpaulins.

 

OTIZ enters the PA66 automotive market

 

The Chinese industrial yarn manufacturer Oriental Industries (Suzhou) Ltd. (OTIZ) successfully commissioned its first polyamide 66 investment recently. Here, the company put its faith in the Remscheid-based spinning systems constructor Oerlikon Barmag.

 

“The PA 66 experience offered by Oerlikon Barmag was the decisive factor that influenced our investment decision. This gave us the necessary confidence to know that we can also be successful with a – for us – new process,” said OTIZ President Moji Wu.

 

In the future, OTIZ will expand its portfolio to include industrial PA66 yarns with a titer range of between 270 and 1440 dtex. With this, the subsidiary of the Taiwan-based Far Eastern Group has now entered the PA66 automotive growth market.

 

The new systems supplied by Oerlikon Barmag cater to three different segments: low denier industrial yarn (LDI), medium denier industrial yarn (MDI) and high denier industrial yarn (HDI). An eight-end system has been supplied for the up to 1440 dtex HDI yarn range for the first time. With the considerably higher output per position, the company – founded in 2005 – now has a tremendous competitive edge.

 

“For us, it was important to secure a long-term partner for this innovative technology, a partner who also has tried-and-tested experience in the downstream processes,” Lemke said.

 

The yarn products are deployed in airbags, luggage, parachutes and sports apparel (LDI), landscaping and geotextiles (MDI) and also in tires (HDI). As a fully integrated industrial yarn specialist, OTIZ is involved along the entire process chain. The company’s clientèle includes well-known automobile sector suppliers across the globe.
