DiloGroup was the only nonwoven machine manufacturer to show two complete lines which were operated with fibre at its stall of a surface area of more than 1200 sq. metres.

“The high capacity production line with a needleloom working width of 7 metres included highly productive machines for fibre opening and blending as well as a newly developed card feeder,” a press release stated.

It also included a high-capacity card with variable intermediate section and a horizontal crosslapper which ran with a web infeed speed of more than 200 metres per minute.

In addition, DiloGroup showed a universal compact line which will be used for needling recycled carbon fibre in future.

During the ITMA show, Johann Philipp Dilo, CEO of DiloGroup handed over the state-of-the-art Dilo compact line to Institut für Textiltechnik Augsburg, Germany.

This compact line includes fibre opening and blending, card feeding, carding and crosslapping, needling and winding.

According to Dilo, the line which was first presented at this show is characterised by consistent focus on a compact line layout, a fast adaption to changing production conditions and an economic mode of operation.

“For this purpose numerous innovations were realised in each machine, which also facilitate the modifications necessary for the needling of carbon fibre,” it added.

Dilo further added that numerous discussions with customers and new orders show that its production sites in Germany will continue to have a bright future.

Customers from all over the world visited the DiloGroup booth and they mainly came from Europe and the United States, but also from China, Iran, Turkey, Russia and North Africa.

During the show, DiloGroup obtained numerous orders for machine deliveries and in addition, a large number of new projects were initiated. (AR)
