Heberlein, will Showcase Its New Polyjet-TG-3 at ITM 2024, for Creating Advanced Technical Textiles
Interview: Özge Çağıl Sütcü
Heberlein Technology AG, a leading supplier of air bonding and air texturing jets, will showcase its new PolyJet-TG-3 at ITM 2024, a unique technology for creating advanced technical textiles with exquisite properties. PolyJet-TG-3 is able to influence both yarn properties and processes, achieving more than 12 knots per meter with 1100f98dtex and 1670f98dtex.
As Tekstil Teknoloji magazine, we interviewed Martin Zürcher, CEO of Heberlein. Zürcher made evaluations about 2023 and talked about the ITM Exhibition they will attented in 2024. Touching on the problem of qualified personnel, Zürcher explained the solutions they have implemented on this issue.
The highlights of the interview of Heberlein company, which shared many topics from their views on the Turkish market to the features of their new spinning jet “PolyJet-TG-3” are as follows:
“We Offers Apprenticeships and Internships, Which Allows Us To Train Our Own Skilled Professionals”
ITMA 2023 was a successful show where we launched several new products. However, after Q2 of 2023, we observed a market slowdown particularly in China, our key market. As you know, the lack of qualified personnel in the global textile industry.
As we operate in Switzerland, where we develop, test, and manufacture key components, our longstanding employees play a vital role in preserving and enhancing knowledge across our production and development processes. To overcome the challenge of recruiting qualified personnel such as designers and polymechanics, we prioritize the development of our workforce by offering apprenticeships and internships, which allows us to train our own skilled professionals. Additionally, we collaborate with universities to further enhance our talent pool. Moreover, we have implemented a comprehensive reward system for our employees, providing incentives not only for their contributions and dedication but also for recommending other talented individuals.
“Turkey is Among Our Key Markets”
As introduced during ITMA 2023, our latest generation of DTY inserts, labeled “APe”, showcases remarkable air-saving potentials. Upon request, we offer customized calculations of potential savings tailored to each customer’s specific machine settings and requirements.
Turkey is one of our key markets. Thanks to the very good relationship with our longtime local agent Bozok, namely Mr. Levent Umut, we benefit from a steady order intake and several promising projects for the future.
“Attending ITM 2024 is a Very Good Opportunity to Meet with Our Existing and Potential Customers”
Attending ITM 2024 is a very good opportunity to meet with our existing and potential customers to exchange ideas about future solutions.
For ITM, we plan to showcase the new spinning jet “PolyJet-TG-3”, specialised for high-tenacity yarn. It features higher knots stability and uniformity. Additionally we will present new DTY products from the “APh” series, specialised for air covering and maximum knots stability.
With Heberin PolyJet-TG-3 – New Generation of Spinning jet Stunning Evenness in Filament Yarns
Advances in high-performance yarns have produced versatile alternatives to traditional raw materials in a number of industries and applications. Customized filament yarns now meet specific needs in diverse sectors, such as automotive, aviation, maritime, medical, and construction. And the Swiss-made key components from Heberlein are at the forefront of these developments, bringing optimum new technology to the core of filament yarn innovation.
Latest PolyJet-TG-3 Achieves More than 12 Knots Per Meter with 1100f98dtex and 1670f98dtex
For producers of demanding technical yarns, magnification of the yarn evenness with a PolyJet-TG-3-HP405A/WO70 (TopAir) looks stunning. The new generation of jets impresses with an unmatched even and uniform interlacing density as well as with strong, reliable knots for high tenacity yarn (HT and HMLS). Heberlein’s latest PolyJet-TG-3 achieves more than 12 knots per meter with 1100f98dtex and 1670f98dtex. Yarn parameters of tensile strength, elongation, and elasticity show smaller variations, for ultimate quality benefits, as well as improved unwinding behaviour of the bobbins.
Typical Heberlein benefits come with all these components. High-performance air interlacing jets for technical yarns offer a unique quick-release system, so jet packs can be exchanged within seconds, with just a single 180° turn. They also feature a compact, space-saving design and a roll bar to protect the ceramic surfaces.
Airsplicer-3 Flex for High-Strength Technical Fibers
Yarn splicers produce a tear-resistant, homogeneous splice of material without knots. All they need is compressed air. Heberlein’s AirSplicers produce first-class splices for a wide range of applications for technical fibers where extreme strength characteristics are needed.
Synthetic multifilament yarns, aramid, carbon, or glass can all be spliced with AirSplicer-3 Flex. The range covers from 500dtex up to 30,000dtex depending on the material. Flexibility results from its innovative width-adjustable design, ideal for technical and textile multifilament yarns. In one single device, the new splicer replaces two former units, namely AirSplicer 40-2 and 70-2.
