Groz-Beckert Showcasing Extensive Portfolio

04.24.24

Innovations in felting and carding among highlights

Groz-Beckert will be presenting its extensive product and service portfolio from the areas of Knitting, Weaving, Felting, Carding and Sewing in Hall 12.0, Stand B80 at Techtextil.

In the Felting (Nonwovens) product area, the new Groz-Beckert needle dispensing system will be the focus of the trade fair presentation. It is part of the product area's "digital ecosystem," which supports nonwoven producers in automating and optimizing their production processes.

In the area of felting needles, two innovations will be presented to visitors: a new barb shape for felting needles and the Groz-Beckert felting needle module. The new barb design has been specifically developed for needling highly abrasive fibers in order to achieve delayed wear. The barb shape also reduces clogging of the barbs, for example when needling bentonite mats.

The Groz-Beckert felting needle module was developed for the innovative MicroPunch technology. The felting needles from Groz-Beckert are embedded as a module in a plastic mold. As modules, they make the new intensive needling technology, which was specifically developed for light grammages, possible in the first place. The needles are characterized by very high deformation resistance. As a module, they also offer new dimensions in needle density. Assembly and replacement of the modules are particularly economical.

The Carding product area will present various new and further developments of products for the nonwovens industry. Highlights include the world's finest interlocking wire for a reduced risk of a crash as well as new Groz-Beckert InLine SiroLock plus types for a more consistent carding result thanks to special geometries.

The comprehensive range of services offered by the Carding division will also play a role at the exhibition. All facets, from sales and service to application advice, will be highlighted digitally.
