Filament Yarn (POY/FDY)

The principle behind manufacturing a thread is always the same: spinning pumps press the polymer melt through micro-fine spinnerets under extremely high pressure. The filaments created are then bundled into threads, drawn over godets and wound using a winder.

Precision processes for textile yarns

Reliably mastering this principle requires high-precision and simultaneously extremely sturdy technology. These machines are in operation day and night, year in, year out. The slightest fault in the spinning process cannot be subsequently corrected.

Oerlikon Barmag systems master the processes required for manufacturing textile and industrial yarns and spin the standard polymers polyester, polyamide 6 and 6.6 and polypropylene. Furthermore, we have also taken on the challenge of processing complex materials such as PTT, PLA, PA5.6, rPET and similar.

Pre-oriented yarns (POY) are the starting material for a wide range of fashion, sports, functional and home textiles. Following production, POY yarns are textured and – with around 40 percent – make up the lion’s share of the global production of manmade fiber yarns.

Sustainable solutions for POY and HOY production

Our core competence is systems designed for the production of high-quality standard or specialty yarns. Regardless of whether polyester or polyamide, microfiber or high denier super-microfiber – Oerlikon Barmag’s POY WINGS technology will give impetus to your success. Productive, energy-efficient, outstanding yarn quality – these are just a few of the numerous reasons you should opt for WINGS.

Challenging materials manufactured from other polymers such as PTT and polypropylene are manufactured in a conventional manner using the tried-and-tested ACW winding technology.

High yarn quality

High yarn quality

We support you in producing premium yarns – with our high-performance spinning system components: from the extruder and the spinning pump, the spin beam and the spin packs all the way through to the quenching system. Because the quality of the yarn is determined by the spinning system.

The EvoQuench radial quenching unit guarantees excellent yarn eveness for fine micro-yarns at a titer range from 0.3 to 3.0 den.

The wiping robot guarantees that each spinning package is wiped under optimum conditions within a defined cleaning plan with consistent wiping quality. This ensures outstanding production stability – day after day.

WINGS, with its particularly gentle yarn path makes sure that the spun yarn maintains the high quality it had upon exiting the spinning system. Its minimized deflection angle has a positive impact on the yarn evenness, the yarn tension, the CV% values and consequently the dyeability. A perfect package build ensures excellent further processing properties for the downstream processes such as texturing.

Cost-efficient manufacturing

Cost-efficient manufacturing

Competition within the yarn markets is becoming more intense. The consequence: constantly rising pressure on costs. The solution: optimized production processes, efficient systems, sustainable technologies. All these are provided by our POY technology with WINGS.
