Whether hydroentanglement, traditional needling or service: The product group Felting gives visitors comprehensive insights into the portfolio for the nonwovens industry. For spunlace customers, Groz-Beckert presents its HyTec P jet strips, which are characterised by a significantly higher hardness compared with conventional jet strips and therefore also offer excellent scratch resistance.
In the area of traditional needling, the patented GEBECON felting needle is one of Groz-Beckert’s highlight products. Due to its unique geometry, it offers optimised bending resistance with high flexibility. By using augmented reality, it can be viewed in detail at the booth, the company said in a press release.
Know-how protection and improved needle logistics are just two of the many benefits of the customer product that the Felting product group will highlight for customers at the booth. In addition, visitors can take a virtual tour through the technology facility in the Groz-Beckert Technology and Development Center (TEZ) in Albstadt, Germany. This way, they will be able to experience the staple fibre needle punch line (SVL) up close and learn how Groz-Beckert can assist in product development as well as product and process optimisation.
“At IDEA, the Groz-Beckert InLine card clothing series will be the main focus of the product group Carding. Due to a new and patented production method, Groz-Beckert has developed a new range of metallic card clothing, which offers improved process reliability and increased up-time of the card for the nonwovens industry. At the same time, the new production method also reflects the corporate principles of environmentally-friendly and resource-saving production,” the release added.
The card clothings are characterised by a controlled and very precise hardening of the teeth, a reduced rib height of 1.3 millimeters and completely scale-free surfaces without burrs. An exhibit at the booth will highlight how this differs from conventional production methods. It shows an impressive comparison between the new Groz-Beckert InLine card clothing and the previous generation.
The SiroLock plus worker and doffer wire was developed as the first special geometry of the Groz-Beckert InLine card clothing series. In addition to the advantages of the Groz-Beckert InLine card clothings, the SiroLock plus impresses with a more effective fibre take-up, control and transfer. The functionality and operating principle behind the SiroLock plus can be experienced by IDEA visitors via augmented reality.
