With WINGS (Winding Integrated Godet Solution), Oerlikon Barmag has secured its market position as one of the most important suppliers of manmade fiber systems for both POY and FDY.
Efficient heating and cooling creates energy-saving potential
What did the engineers focus on in the beginning? Heat is an important factor in polymer spinning systems. Polyester melt is conveyed from the polycondensation plant to the spinning system at temperatures between 280 and 290 degrees Celsius. The hot filament coming out of the spinnerets is then cooled in the quenching unit before being drawn on hot godets, depending on the process.
All of this has the potential to optimize energy consumption: WINGS POY (Winding Integrated Godet Solution) revolutionized the manmade fiber industry at ITMA 2007. The completely new winding concept already showed the potential to turn the entire industry upside down. All market participants were enthusiastic from day one. Chinese companies in particular already saw the technology that would make them global pioneers in the manmade fiber industry. Five years later, WINGS FDY conquered the market with even more e-save advantages, especially in the area of energy savings. The Oerlikon Barmag innovation achieved over 40 % lower energy consumption compared to the industry standard at the time. The return on investment (ROI) was and still is achieved very quickly. The best technology with the highest quality is therefore also worthwhile from an economic point of view. In addition to the Oerlikon Barmag core technology WINGS – today an indispensable part of a modern manmade fiber spinning mill – the company has set standards over the years with other components in the field of energy savings.
