While the whole world is impressed by the long-lasting high economic growth rate in East Asia, booming building industry and substantial achievements in technology, environmental pollution is increasing at an alarmingly high rate.
As many as 16 of the 20 most polluted cities in the world are in China. For instance, in the million-strong metropolis of Shanghai, the sun is rarely visible. Air with heavy smog, contaminated rivers and lakes poses a big threat to human life.
The current Chinese Five-Year Plan deals continually with the environmental challenges, even with greater efforts and determination, in order to find a quick solution.
As a family-owned German company DORNIER produces its system family weaving machines, comprising various types of rapier weaving machines and air-jet weaving machines, implementing innovative and sustainable machine concepts for production of sophisticated fabrics to eliminate pollution from air, water, soil or the like. Furthermore, DORNIER weaving machines are market leaders in producing fabrics offering protection against unwanted ultraviolet sunlight, fire and even bullets from fire arms.
Under the new motto “The Green Machine” DORNIER has its special focus on sophisticated technical textiles for protection of men and the environment, as, for instance, protective clothing.
“We are happy to present our technological know-how of high-quality solutions at ITMA Asia in Shanghai. We see ourselves as experienced partner to provide backing to Asia’s environmental endeavors. Our mission is to make contribution to a more pleasant environment”, said Mr. Peter D. Dornier, CEO of the Lindauer DORNIER GmbH.
In Hall E2, Booth D03, DORNIER presented a rapier weaving machine, type P1, of model PTS 4/S C, nominal width 220 cm, with a high density filter fabric and an air-jet weaving machine type A1 of model AWS 8/S G.
In co-operation with Bonas (Hall E1, Booth CO1), a DORNIER air-jet weaving machine type A1, of model AWS 6/J G, nominal width 220 cm, with a style for automobile seat covers, was shown. The compact system was displayed for the first time, at ITMA Asia.
At STÄUBLI’s booth, a DORNIER rapier weaving machine type P1, of model PTS 16/J G, nominal width 190 cm, was shown with a high-quality Jacquard fabric for the home textiles sector.
Both the rapier weaving machines and the air-jet weaving machine at the DORNIER booth are equipped with the innovative Fast-Ethernet (FT) technology control system which guarantees high reliability and efficiency in woven fabric production, as well as the new, patented, DORNIER drive concept SyncroDrive. An electrical control line to a separate drive replaces the mechanical connection between the weaving machine and the shedding device. Realization of the dynamic change of close of shed when the machine is running also meets the requirements of demanding weavers.
The group’s long-standing Asian customers benefit a lot from these technical developments and are thereby able to establish themselves steadily on the home and apparel textiles market. The success so far of the customers proves that the company weaving machines guarantee prosperous future.
This means DORNIER can be relied upon for meeting special demands. The many years of experience in the development of technical textiles are reflected in the ideal conception of the DORNIER weaving machine, especially for producing protective textiles for the people and environment.
