The Bejimac singeing machine has been a long-standing choice for technical textiles, especially for filtration purposes. Due to the needle felt manufacturing process, the product’s surface tends to have hairiness.

The primary objective of singeing is to eliminate this hairiness. Moreover, for technical textiles, a method can be applied to impart a glazing effect on the felt, typically on one side. We are excited to showcase the latest advancements aimed at significantly cutting down gas consumption during singeing, all while ensuring top-notch singeing performance.

The MESDAN-LAB line of tensile testing machines underwent a revision, culminating in the introduction of the innovative TENSOLAB 50kN double-column model, labelled as TENSOLAB 50kN, code 2515E, at the TECHTEXTIL 2024 event.

This new model caters specifically to high-tenacity technical textiles, supporting a maximum load of 50kN (5,000 kg). Boasting cutting-edge technology, advanced electronics, updated software, and modular accessories, the TENSOLAB 50kN delivers exceptional performance across various metrics like capacity, flexibility, precision, and testing speed. Additionally, it showcases exquisite Italian design and benefits from Mesdan’s three decades of expertise in dynamometer research and production. Expanding the range of strength testers, the collection includes the semi-automatic single-column device “TENSOLAB 4,” the automatic single-point “AUTODYN 3” with an automatic yarn loader suitable for fibres, skeins, fabrics, and garment trims, the fully automated 24-position yarn strength analyzer “AUTOFIL,” and the popular handheld SPLICE SCANNER.

Protechna offers cutting-edge fabric and thread control solutions to guarantee product quality. We have unveiled a new camera technology that assesses the integrity of your technical fabrics (multi-axial/woven) crafted from carbon/glass fibres.

The ARRAYCAM 5430 camera is adept at identifying a wide range of fabric flaws and halting textile production promptly. Furthermore, we will be showcasing the TENSOSCAN 2 5374 tension control system for direct warping and the COGASTOP CREEL 2 3210 slub detection system for sectional warping.

MEMMINGER-IRO provides top-tier yarn-feeding technology for carbon, copper, wire, monofilament, polyamide, and other advanced yarns, catering to various knitting machines for technical textile manufacturing. At the upcoming Techtextil event in Frankfurt, visitors can explore a range of related products including storage feeders, electronic feeders, and unspooling devices on display.

From electronics to transportation to food and more, Loepfe serves a diverse range of industries as their preferred partner for flawless manufacturing.

The WeftMaster products by Loepfe ensure top-notch quality across various applications, such as durable tarpaulins, superior smartphone sound, and resilient animal feed bags perfect for long-haul journeys. For instance, the advanced detection capabilities of the FALCON-i yarn sensor by Loepfe effectively eliminate minute imperfections like fluff or filamentation from weft-yarn, significantly reducing waste in carbon fabric production. The potential for enhancing product quality using FALCON-i is vast, making it an invaluable tool for weavers focusing on premium technical textiles to elevate their offerings and prevent costly product defects.
