Utilizing textile waste intelligently

Spinning straw into gold? That's only possible in fairy tales. However, using textile waste to create new values is now reality: The intelligent Card TC 30Ri converts shredded waste from textile surfaces into high-quality fiber slivers for new yarns.

Optimum opening, cleaning & blending of secondary fibers

The technological challenges in the processing of secondary fibers from shredded textile waste are considerable: All particles of yarn and woven fabric must be opened reliably or separated off. Truetzschler blowroom lines for recycling feature flexible setting options and intelligent processes, facilitating perfect opening, cleaning and blending of synthetic and cotton secondary fibers. They also prevent unnecessary waste or new short fibers from being produced.

Structure of a tearing line

The first step is the cutting of the textile hard waste. The starting material is cut into small pieces of fabric by two guillotine cutters. In a box room, the material is homogenized and stored in batches. The material is then evenly fed into the tearing machine via the feeding unit. The material is disintegrated into fiber tufts via six cylinders that are equipped with needle bars. The fiber tufts are finally sucked off after the tearing machine and pressed in a bale press.

As individual as your application

The wide range of clothings from Trützschler Card Clothing has been specially developed and tailored for Trützschler machines and the designated applications. The high performance of the card TC 30Ri for Recycling cannot be achieved without Trützschler clothings. Different aspects of the clothings are key, depending on which recycled material is to be processed.

Needle-punched nonwovens are optimally suited for long-lived, industrial end products. High strength and low elongation provide automotive textiles, geotextiles, filter media, acoustic insulation or coating substrates a high durability.

Under the brand name of T-SUPREMA Trützschler Nonwovens and partners offer various solutions for the fiber preparation, web forming, web bonding, finishing and winding processes. All components are carefully selected and combined according to the respective fiber, process and end product requirements.

T-ONE supports a wide variety of workflows in the production of nonwovens. It enables the automatic collection, storage and visualization of relevant machine settings, sensor data and products quality data in a central database. This data can be used to continuously improve the performance of the production line as well as the quality of the end products and resource efficiency.

The scope of the T-ONE software package ranges from a module for quality control and comprehensive recipe management to the visualization of key performance indicators (KPIs) and AI-based plant simulation and optimization.

Nonwovens made from both NBSK pulp, the raw material for paper production, and viscose or lyocell fibers come from renewable resources and are 100% biodegradable.

In cooperation with Voith Paper, Trützschler Nonwovens offers proven production line concepts for the efficient production of cellulose-based, hydroentangled nonwovens. The high-performance lines are flexible and process a wide variety of fiber blends:

• Two-ply carded-pulp  (CP) nonwovens are composite materials made of a wet-laid pulp and a carded nonwoven layer made of viscose fibers. They score as wet and dry wipes with full functionality and 100% biodegradability.

• Wet-laid, spunlaced (WLS) nonwovens made of pulp and viscose/lyocell short fibers perform excellently as moist toilet paper and as wet wipes for baby and body care.

In spunlacing lines, higher speeds often become a challenge for proper carding and web forming. High rotational speeds generate forceful air streams sofibers fly off the card wire easily. 

TCC’s new Z-wire implements a special contour to minimize fiber fly inside the card. Several notches provide a firm grip on single fibers and deliver them nicely to the next roll. The Z-wire matches perfectly with Trützschler Nonwovens’ NCT card in inline configurations reaching speeds of 300 m/minute at the winder and more.

Service equipment to cover the whole service range - The T-WINDER fits all clothings perfectly

In addition, the T-WINDER is the only piece of service equipment that indicates the actual fitting force and thus ensures a constant fitting tension, free from the influence of external forces. The T-WINDER mounting device assists you in realizing the full potential of your card at low cost. Due to its unique and solid construction, the T-WINDER can be used for all cards. The specially developed clothing guide of the T-Winder made of ceramic elements facilitates the fitting of all clothing thicknesses and types.

The next generation: MAGNOTOP flat top systems

Quality, time and cost benefits are what drives textile production. With the new generation of the MAGNOTOP 3 flat top system, another substantial step forward can be made in this area. For instance, tolerances - and guaranteeing them over the entire production duration - have been optimized and revolutionized thanks to the development of the PRECISETOP flat top. Accordingly higher, constant yarn qualities are now possible. At the same time, the renowned quick and precise replacement of the flat top remains guaranteed within the familiar service intervals.
