The DiloGroup high capacity production line with a needleloom working width of 7 m included highly productive machines for fibre opening and blending as well as a newly-developed card feeder, a high-capacity card with variable intermediate section and a horizontal crosslapper which ran with a web infeed speed of more than 200 m/min. In addition, DiloGroup showed a universal compact line which will be used for needling recycled carbon fibre in future.
At the show, Johann Philipp Dilo, CEO of DiloGroup, consigned this stateof-the-art DILO compact line to Institut für Textiltechnik Augsburg, Germany, represented by Prof. Dr. Stefan Schlichter (ITA Augsburg) and Prof. Dr. Thomas Gries (Institut für Textiltechnik, RWTH Aachen, Germany).
This compact line includes fibre opening and blending, card feeding, carding and crosslapping, needling and winding. The line is characterized by consistent focus on a compact line layout, a fast adaption to changing production conditions and an economic mode of operation. For this purpose numerous innovations were realized in each machine. These innovations also facilitate the modifications necessary for the needling of carbon fibre.
Technicians, technologists and the complete sales staff worked together to present the advantages and the high capacity of the DiloGroup machines to all visitors, interested parties and customers.
Discussions with customers and new orders showed that solid mechanical and electrical engineering at the production sites Eberbach, Bremen and Bergisch Gladbach in Germany will continue to have a bright future.
Customers from all over the world visited the DiloGroup booth. They were mainly from Europe, the US, China, Iran, Turkey, Russia and North Africa. At the show, DiloGroup obtained numerous orders for machine deliveries. In addition, a large number of new projects were initiated.
The success of DiloGroup at ITMA was further proof of the sustained performance and co-operation of the individual units of DiloSystems and DiloMachines in Eberbach, DiloSpinnbau in Bremen and DiloTemafa in Bergisch Gladbach.
