NEUMUNSTER, Germany –Oerlikon Neumag will exhibit state-of-the-art system concepts for BCF carpet yarn at Domotex in Hannover, the world's biggest fair for carpets and floor coverings.

 

The company will exhibit in hall 5 on stand A31 during the show, which runs January 14-17.

 

New Induse 4.0 solutions from Oerlikon's Manmade Fibers segment will also be deployed for the first time. With the presentation of the new "IPC 4.0" (Intelligent Plant Control) customer services, Oerlikon will also set new standards in the future in the production of BCF yarns.

 

The system portfolio of the market leader from Neumünster, Germany, almost completely covers the requirements of carpet yarn manufacturers. This is evident from the strong demand for the BCF systems S+ and Sytec One across the entire polymer and titre spectrum.

 

With more than 1,000 positions installed worldwide, Oerlikon Neumag facilities produce more than 1.6 million tonnes of BCF carpet yarn. Since their market launches in 2007 (Sytec One) and 2010 (S+), the systems have been optimized continuously. Ongoing further development of components and the process increases the user-friendliness and efficiency of BCF spinning mill solutions.

 

Highly efficient tricolor yarn production with Variomelt, CPC and RoTac

 

The demand for multicolored carpets has grown significantly, with the market seeking a wide spectrum of color separations in tricolor yarns. Oerlikon Neumag's S+ system concept offers the opportunity to produce the most diverse color separations, from melange to strongly separated colors.

 

Variomelt – maximum flexibility for the production of mono- and tricolor yarns

 

The Variomelt concept is synonymous with the highly flexible production of large and small batches of mono- and tricolor yarns: the unit can be modified from tricolor to mono-color production with three single colors in less than 45 minutes. Long batch runtimes per mono-color extruder ensure particularly efficient raw material utilization. As usual, the diphyl-heated Variomelt spinning mill provides a constant, optimal spinning temperature.

 

Color Pop Compacting

 

With the CPC (Color Pop Compacting) unit from Oerlikon Neumag, strongly separated yarns can be manufactured efficiently. The individual threads are provided with yarn cohesion in the CPC unit before texturing so that they are no longer able to become so intermingled in downstream process stages, giving rise to a strongly color-separated yarn.

 

Produce tricolor efficiently with RoTac

 

Tricolor carpets must have a very uniform appearance, and an optimal tangle result in the BCF spinning mill is crucial for this. These tangle knots are produced in defined spacings and thicknesses using RoTac. Thanks to this tangling option, uniform tricolor results that cannot be produced in conventional tangling units are achieved even at high speeds.

 

Optimized process for the production of PA6 yarns

 

More than 240,000 tonnes of PA6 melt-dyed and natural white BCF yarns are currently manufactured each year on the latest Oerlikon Neumag machines. The melt lines, which are especially optimized for these processes, ensure an optimal melt quality. A specially designed plug guide under the texturing unit and a so-called V cooling drum achieve the highest crimp uniformity and quality. The specially designed texturing components meet the highest demands in the field of short-pile automotive applications.

 

Flexible process control with the Multi Machine Access Center

 

Networked production has long since ceased to be a vision of the future, but the solutions on offer are often extremely complex. The new Multi Machine Access Center (MMAC) is geared specifically to customers seeking a solution specially tailored to their requirements.

 

The innovative MMAC permits monitoring of the Oerlikon Neumag textile machines, allowing the scope of visualization to be modified to suit the customer's particular wishes. Since the MMAC is linked to the process control system, its highest specification offers a central overview of all applications offered by the control system.
