The company is the world’s leading provider of air-jets for the treatment of synthetic continuous filament yarns. Its range also includes suction, cutting, and splicing units. Customers are said to appreciate both the quality and undisputed durability of the products, even under extreme processing and cleaning environments. Heberlein’s comprehensive support and expertise also make an important contribution to the business success of customers.
Filament production: high speeds and top quality
The company’s core competence is the development and production of highly-specialised key components for modification and treatment of synthetic yarns – particularly filaments. New technologies are continually extending the opportunities in this sector, and Heberlein’s well-established product range is enhanced by a policy of systematic innovation. This commitment is underpinned in-house by a team of technology specialists, working with cutting-edge systems for 3D design, flow simulation, yarn analysis, component measurement and state-of-the-art processing machines.
A significant recent innovation within the company’s wide product range is the Heberlein® TexJet-ATY (white paper ready to download from www.heberlein.com). This development produces superior yarn at high processing speeds. It is applied in manufacturing very fine to coarse yarns of polyester, polyamide (PA6 or PA6.6) and polypropylene, as well as for high-grade flame and effect yarns.
Pure innovative power is at the heart of Heberlein’s high-tech solutions for air-jet design. This achieves airflow levels inside the jet which are twice as fast as sonic speed. The TexHead and TexBody jets are designed with one-piece metal housings, exceeding supersonic performance levels and setting new standards with the TexJet-ATY product. These developments break away from traditional jet concepts, to deliver enhanced yarn production.
Recipe for time-proven success
A rich heritage began in 1835 with a ‘big idea’ and new-found enthusiasm for the textile industry. Heberlein’s dual strengths – respect for tradition and a passion for innovation – made it the top provider of air-interlacing and air-texturing jets for synthetic continuous filament yarns.
In the course of developing its core textile expertise, the company also built fundamental knowledge of the hard processing of ceramics. This allowed Heberlein to apply this know-how to other applications. Many years of development and rigorous testing in textiles created ideal preconditions for wider success with ingenious products for medicine and industry.
Trust built on expertise
The trust gained in developing sophisticated, original and inspiring products and solutions has grown and been maintained for more than 100 years. Customers today rely on Heberlein solutions to meet the toughest processing needs – and create genuine added value. The Heberlein name is a seal of quality, with products renowned for their durability, technology, and optimal cost-benefit ratio.
Partnerships with customers are strong and lasting, supported by Heberlein’s commitment of a relevant amount of revenue to R&D, and making the company the preferred choice for any mill-specific requirements.
Heberlein operates its own textile centre and test laboratory and is represented in 68 countries around the world, offering comprehensive on-site service, including trouble shooting, fault clearance, and solutions to process-related problems.
