FDY spinning with WINGS

Fully-drawn yarns (FDY) are used to manufacture textile fabrics without the need for further finishing. Wherever textiles are to hang smoothly or glide fully-drawn yarns are used.

Sustainable solutions for FDY production

Once again, Oerlikon Barmag is the technology leader here. The WINGS concept – transferred to the FDY process – has removed the limitations of conventional FDY spinning systems. WINGS provides optimized production processes, low waste rates and an around 30-percent reduction in energy consumption. This trailblazing technology can be used for polyester in the FDY process and polyamide.

Other polymers, such as polypropylene, are wound in a conventional manner using the i-QOON or ACW winding technology.

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 polyester yarns from 40 to 150 den with up to 2 dpf, or
for polyamide yarn spinning at a titer range from 20 to 70 den, however, in combination with ACW take-up.

Savings in OPEX

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 FDY technology with WINGS.

Your benefits

Up to 20% fewer operating staff
Up to 46% lower energy consumption
Up to 50% less waste
Up to 40% shorter string-up times
Up to 25% less space requirement in the spinning due with double-in-one concepts

High efficiency

Efficiency is the most important characteristic of WINGS: It can be completely operated from floor level. All elements are laid out at eye level. Consequently, this reduces the string-up time by 25 - 40%; time in which top-quality FDY yarn – and not waste – can be produced.

Your benefits

The partially-automated string-up process minimizes the operating error rate
Fewer operators required through reduction by one operating level

Easy handling

There is no such thing as a maintenance-free FDY system. However, we supply systems requiring minimum maintenance. And it is once again the WINGS take-up concept that gives you an edge.

Your benefits

Better start-up performance. WINGS is delivered as a completely pre-installed and tested unit.

Unlimited possibilities

Our FDY technology offers you a comprehensive process window – without compromises in terms of the yarn quality. Our spinning and quenching concepts in conjunction with WINGS enable all standard yarn products.

The WINGS family covers virtually all standard processes. Polyester or polyamide, semi-dull, full dull or trilobal bright, 24-, 28- or even 32-end – whatever you wish to manufacture, we have the right WINGS for the job. As a platform-based component, WINGS guarantees state-of-the-art technology.

Your benefits

Available FDY processes: PET / R-PET / PA6: Semi dull, full dull, (trilobal) bright, cationic dyeable, doped dyed
24, 28 or 32 ends
