Innovations for increased productivity and energy efficiency are the key themes selected by Oerlikon Textile to present the comprehensive product portfolio of its five brands at ShanghaiTex 2011 from 14 to 17 June 2011 in the Shanghai New International Expo Centre at information booth C 10 in hall E 1.

Just a few weeks in advance of ITMA in Barcelona, the most important textile machinery exhibition in the world to be held at the end of this September, Oerlikon Textile – part of the Oerlikon Group – is showcasing its offer in Asia, the key growth market for textile machinery and systems. "Our presence here in Shanghai is extremely important for us to be able to present the advantages of our products and services locally to our customers," states Thomas Babacan, CEO of Oerlikon Textile and COO of OC Oerlikon. Oerlikon Textile is concentrating specifically on the following products of its five brands:

Oerlikon Barmag: ultimate quality texturing and spinning

The Remscheid/Germany-based market leader for filament machinery and systems boasts an extensive catalogue of technical highlights. By far the most important is the new automatic eAFK texturing machine that combines proven technology from previous models with a flexible, modular machine structure and offers increased productivity with reduced personnel requirements. The innovative WINGS spinning system is now also offered for FDY. And the new multi-threaded automatic winding head for high-strength special yarns means considerably less energy consumption and space utilisation, as well as reduced investment and maintenance costs.

Oerlikon Schlafhorst: innovations for more economically efficient spinning and yarn packages

The developments of this market and innovation leader for ring and rotor spinning technology and yarn packages focus on current market themes. Zinser ring spinning machines increase raw material efficiency and process reliability with ImpactFX compact technology. The fully or semi-automatic Autocoro has set the standard for automation in rotor spinning systems for some time. The Autoconer winding machine also offers various automation levels to further reduce personnel requirements.
