Techtextil

Zentruminnovativer EntwicklungDas Messeduo Techtextil und Texprocesssorgte mit 1662 Ausstellern aus 54 Ländern undrund 42 000 Besucherinnen und Besuchernfür «Inspirationen weit über die Textil- und Be-kleidungsindustrie hinaus», so Olaf Schmidt, VicePresidentTextiles &Textil Technologies der Mes-se Frankfurt. Ein umfangreiches Rahmenpro-gramm spielte die Begleitmusik. Rosmarie Zeiner

Auf den beiden Leitmessen,die diesmal an vier Tagen

den Besucherinnen und Besu-chern eine ungeahnte Fülle anInnovationen rund um Hightech-Stoffe, Smart Textiles und Verar-beitungstechnologien vorstell-ten, war der intensive Dialog zwi-schen Ausstellern und Besucherndeutlich spürbar. Es ging ummassgeschneiderte Produkte undLösungen, um Energieeffizienzund Schonung von Ressourcensowie um Industrie 4.0, dasheisst um die vollautomatische,digitalisierte und dezentrale Her-stellung von Produkten. «DieMöglichkeiten der Industrie 4.0lassen eine Serienfertigung mit

Losgrösse 1 schon bald zur Reali-tät für den Endverbraucher wer-den», machte Elgar Straub vomVDMA, Bekleidungs- und Le-dertechnik, in der Wirtschafts-pressekonferenz klar. Bereitsjetzt finde in der Bekleidungsin-dustrie eine digitale Verflechtungvon Design, Produktion und Lo-gistik statt und es würden ver-stärkt IT-Lösungen entlang der

gesamten Wertschöpfungsketteeingesetzt. Darüber hinaus stell-ten Flexibilität und Schnelligkeitder Branche, aber auch die Opti-mierung von Kosten die Beklei-dungsindustrie sowie andere tex-tilverarbeitende Industriezweigevor ständig neue Herausforde-

rungen. Daneben gehe es ausökologischen und ökonomischenGründen um Nachhaltigkeit,Ressourcenschonung und Ener-gieeffizienz.

Die Schweiz zeigteeindrucksvoll Flagge

Die Schweiz stellte ein stattlichesAusstellerkontingent mit innova-tiven Produkten oder Lösungen.Die Klingler Textil AG präsen-tierte etwa eine «Superfaser» aufder Basis Cordura mit Vectran,die stärker als Keflar ist und idealbei Motorrad- und Arbeitsschutz-bekleidung eingesetzt werdenkann. Schoeller Technologies istmit wasserabweisendem, um-weltfreundlichem Ecorepel undSchoeller Textil mit der Pyro-

shell-Technologie weiterhin aufErfolgskurs. Von der Gessner AGwurden Climatex-Stoffe für dieunterschiedlichsten Bereiche wieBekleidung, Interieur, Schuhe,Health Care vorgestellt. Der Ver-band Swiss Textiles und die Em-pa initierten auf der Techtextil die

gemeinsame Forschungsinitia-tive Subitex (Sustainable Biome-dicine Textiles). Damit sollen In-novationen rascher in den Marktgebracht und insgesamt die Zu-sammenarbeit der SchweizerTextilindustrie mit weiterenBranchen gestärkt werden, wiePräsident Andreas Sallmann er-klärte. 2014 exportierte dieSchweiz technische Textilien imWert von 605 Millionen Frankenund erzielte damit ein Plus von8,2 Prozent gegenüber dem Vor-jahr, so Andreas Sallmann. DerWeltmarkt für technische Texti-lien und Vliesstoffe liegt bei der-zeit 130 Milliarden US-Dollar(121,27 Mia. Franken) und wirddominiert von China und Indien.Bis 2018 sollen 160 MilliardenUS-Dollar (149,25 Mia. Fran-ken) erreicht werden, wobei dieSchweiz ebenfalls ihren Anteilausbauen will.

Tirupur looks at boostingexport via pacts

TIRUPUR, MAY 07—With Comprehensive

Economic PartnershipAgreement (CEPA) expected inSeptember, exports from theknitwear hub of Tirupur is likelyto grow by 20 to 50 per cent in afew years, an exporters’association functionary has said.

Exports of readymadegarments, which were Rs 12,500crore three years ago have almosttouched Rs 21,000 crore in 2014-15, witnessing 17 per centgrowth over last year, TirupurExporters’ Association president,A Shaktivel told PTI here lastnight.

Shaktivel expressedconfidence that though exportsto Canada from Tirupur was nil,despite India’s exports of Rs 650crore, CEPA would boost exportsfrom Tirupur, which can registerat least Rs 200 crore in the initialyear, with major markets still

being the US and EuropeanUnion.

The prime ministers ofboth the countries recentlydiscussed the CEPA issue formutual benefit, by which Indiacan get master trainers fordeveloping skills, he said.

Moreover, garmentmanufacturers were nowconcentrating more on polyesterand viscose material, to competewith China and at least 15 to 25per cent market can be capturedin the long run, he said, adding,compared to China, Indiahas also labour advantage, togive that nation a run for itsmoney.

Similarly, an agreementwith Australia, another majormarket, could also create aconducive atmosphere forexporters from here, he said.

Besides, manufacturershere have ventured into technical

garments like cool mats, anti-bacterial and sweatmanagement, for which thedemand was growing across theglobe, particularly in sportswears, he said.

Moreover, there were lot ofinvestments going into latestprinting machinery, such as 3D,which were hitherto availableonly in Italy and Turkey, thatwould add value and also giveedge to the products fromTirupur, Shaktivel said.

India to commit supply of balesof cotton to garments industry

From Our CorrespondentNEW DELHI, MAY 07—

At present there is no restriction on export of cotton. Eventhe requirement of registration of contracts has been removed videNotification No. 102 (RE-2013)/2009-14 dated 08.12.2014. As such,the foreign countries are free to procure cotton from India as pertheir needs.

The above information was given by the Minister of State(Independent Charge) in the Ministry of Commerce & IndustryMs. Nirmala Sitharaman in a written reply in Rajya Sabha here.

She said that so far as the border countries are concerned,China, Bangladesh and Pakistan are among the top 5 importers ofCotton from India. Other countries sharing border with India importnegligible quantities from India.

VDMA: Sustainability – best practice examples instead of empty watchwordsBy Tecoya Team

FRANKFURT, MAY 07—On the occasion of a VDMA press meet at Techtextil, speakers

from member companies Trützschler, August HerzogMaschinenfabrik and Oerlikon Manmade Fibers Segment addedcontent to the sometimes loosely used watch word sustainability.The perspectives ranged from sustainability as corporate culture totextile machines as enablers for textile products for recoveringenergy.RESOURCE OPTIMISATIONAND ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

With regard to sustainability, Dr. Dirk Burger, CEO /Managing Director of Trützschler stated that the company makes adistinction between resource optimisation and environmentalprotection. In the context of resource optimisation, Trützschleraddresses matters such as lower energy consumption, optimiseduse of raw materials, low maintenance costs and investmentprotection. “All these points combined optimise ‚total cost ofownership‘ for the customer, which make them extremely importantselling points”, said Burger. Examples of Trützschler functions inthis field include energy measuring devices that display energyconsumption, and sensors for minimising waste in the machines.“We are literally fighting for each fibre, to ensure that the causes ofadded value and sustainability are advanced continuously” addedBurger.

Trützschler has been actively committed for a long time toenvironmental protection objectives. The company’s noise emission

profile is significantly below all worldwide standards. “AtTrützschler we began addressing dust emissions very early. In thiscase, the requirements of the western world were raised to matchthe global Trützschler standard. This is now respected and dulyrecognised in Asia as well”, summarised Burger.BRAIDING TECHNOLOGY FOR ENERGY RECOVERY

Dr. Janpeter Horn, Managing Director of August HerzogMaschinenfabrik, an Oldenburg company whose history began 154years ago, showed how braiding technology is making contributionto energy recovery. Offshore extraction of oil and gas is a field ofactivity not just for oil companies but also for August Herzog. “Inwork on open sea, conventional steel cables are being replacedincreasingly with lightweight, synthetic fibre ropes that float onthe water”, explained Horn. According to him, these braids areendowed with significantly better properties and can be used atmuch greater depths than steel, for lifting loads, lowering parts, ormooring rigs and ships. “We provide the technology for this. Thebraided synthetic ropes that are produced in this way are self-supporting in the water. This enables great strength at much greaterdepth”, Horn continued. The energy recovery effect is obvious: Everykilogram of weight that can be saved with these much lighter textileropes in the transportation process means that they can supportcorrespondingly heavier loads.

The global trend toward lightweight construction withcomposite fibre materials has surely presented another majorchallenge for your developers?

Another field of action for August Herzog is lightweightconstruction. According to Horn, automated braiding technologyfrom Oldenburg is not only used by BMW. Wherever loadbearingstructural components made from carbon fibres are fitted, in aircraft,cars or bicycles, technology from Herzog is in demand.SUSTAINABILITY: ECONOMY,ECOLOGY AND SOCIAL ACTIVITIES

André Wissenberg, Vice President Oerlikon Manmade FibersSegment, explained that sustainability has always been playing asignificant role in the company’s strategy. The so-called e-saveprogram already started in 2004. “Sustainability is coveringeconomy, ecology and social activities, that’s why our efforts areaddressing customers as well as our employees”, said Wissenbergand continued: “Our latest WINGS technology (Winder IntegratedGodet Solution) reduces the average energy consumption per tonneof POY (Pre-oriented Yarn) by 40 % and that of FDY (Fully-drawnYarn) by as much as 55 % compared to the machines produced inthe mid-1990s.” But also in regard to the production of theirmachines, Oerlikon is a good example of what is possible. “InRemscheid, the recently developed one-piece flow concept was usedboth for a new assembly line, and for the production of the changebars, which resulted in an increase of 15 % in production capacityand ergonomic benefits for the assembly personnel. At the sametime, energy consumption was reduced.” According to Wissenberg,the company has imposed strict energy management regulations,

Swiss Textiles and Empa launch a joint research initiativeBy Tecoya Team

FRANKFURT, MAY 07—On the occasion of Techtextil in Frankfurt, the leading

International Trade Fair for Technical Textiles and Non-WovenFabrics, Swiss Textiles and the Federal Materials Testing andResearch Establishment Empa has launched the joint “Subitex:Sustainable Biomedicine Textiles” research initiative.

This initiative is intended to enable innovations to be broughtto market more rapidly. Cooperation between the Swiss textileindustry and other branches is also to be strengthened through thisproject.

Working with Swiss research establishments, the membercompanies of the Swiss textile and garments industry have alreadybrought numerous innovations onto the market in the past. Thissuccessful cooperation will now be further enhanced. Many possibleapplications exist for intelligent textiles in medical technology andsensor systems. However, to enable the research outcomes to beimplemented in a product fit for the market close cooperationbetween research and manufacturing industry is essential.

The aim of the “Subitex: Sustainable Biomedicine Textiles”research initiative is therefore to promote innovations in the textilesector through an intensive dialogue between science and industry.The initiative is designed to run for five years. Currently 20 membercompanies of Swiss Textiles are already involved.

“We are living in a challenging economic environment today.That makes it all the more important for us to be committed tobackground conditions that are conducive to innovation andpioneering initiatives of the Subitex kind deserve our strongsupport”, Andreas Sallmann, Swiss Textiles Chairman comments.

“Textiles have a lead on other materials in several ways. Thereare practically no limits to their areas of application”, according toDr René Rossi, Head of the Protection and Physiology Departmentat Empa, St. Gallen.

Dr René Rossi goes on “Through ‘Subitex’ we want to enhancethe visibility of Swiss textile research and build networks betweenthe industrial partners and also with other research institutes”.

The intention is for the ‘Subitex’ research initiative to becomepart of the CCMX Materials Challenge ‘Self-care materials’ aimedat the development of new fibre structures to release or absorb othersubstances. These systems have all kinds of potential applicationsas ways of administering medicines intextile sensors or as intelligentpackaging materials.

Other industrial partners outside the textile sector will betaking part in the CCMX Materials Challenge, so enabling aninterdisciplinary network of research and industrial partners to beestablished.

Time not yet ripe for FTA with China;caution is the watch word: Assocham

NEW DELHI, MAY 07—Time is not yet ripe for

India to go ahead and sign a FreeTrade Agreement (FTA) withChina even though such anarrangement with world’ssecond largest economy is a keyissue of economic cooperation inorder to face Chinesecompetitiveness in theinternational markets, anASSOCHAM study has noted.

While the potential ofSino-Indian economiccooperation is huge and theopportunity cost of non-cooperation is substantial, “atthis juncture, a free-tradeagreement with China wouldbring gains skewed in favour ofChina and will reinforce theexisting trade asymmetriesbetween the two countries”, theASSOCHAM Paper on ‘ShouldIndia sign a Free TradeAgreement with China?, pointedout.

It said China’s substantialedge in the manufacturing sectoris in a large measure rooted inits better and extensiveinfrastructure (a non tradedinput), labour laws, productivityand an import tariff regimeconducive for efficientmanufacturing

“Given the different tariffrates and structural features ofthe economy between India andChina, the benefit of FTA wouldnot be equally shared. India willface some challenges in reducingand eliminating tariffs over a

short time horizon. India ChinaFTA cannot afford acceleratedelimination of tariffs. It has to begradual with reduction in tariffsin a phased manner coveringcommonly agreed, selected, andmanufactures, services andagricultural products.Negotiations should take intoaccount interests, sensitivitiesand specific differences betweenthe two economies. The ultimategoal should be an FTA with a freeflow of goods, services,investment, labor, and capital”,it said.

Commenting on thefindings, ASSOCHAMspokesman said, “In view of thecomparative advantage Chinaenjoys in manufacturing anyform of trade agreement betweenthe two has to tread cautiously.India’s opening up of the tradesector has to be carefullycalibrated to balance the interestsof domestic manufacturing overthe medium term”.

The opening up of theIndia’s trade sector will have tobe complemented with greateropenings for India’s commercialservices market so that overallbilateral trade and servicesbalance with China is sustainablenotwithstanding large tradedeficit. This will also make tradenegotiations smooth and easyand will not be viewed as anegative sum game where onepartner loses and the other gains,he said.

Under an FTA or PTA gain

or loss of the sector depends onits trade structure and initialimport tariff rate. Commoditiesbeing exported to China facingtariffs will gain.

On the contrary, thoseindustries with more importsfrom China and protected bytariffs may face challenges. AnFTA between the PRC and Indiacertainly goes in favor of thePRC and is disadvantageous toIndia at least in the short run.This is because of the high tariffregime in India and the low tariffregime in the PRC. FTAnegotiations pose seriouschallenges on import tar iffissues.

The six main categories ofgoods receiving duty-free statusare computers,telecommunications equipment,semiconductors, semiconductormanufacturing equipment,software, and scientificequipment. India’s import tariffregime continues to be beset witha large number of anomalies withhigher tar iff rates forintermediates and lower for thefinal products leading tonegative protection to the latter.This needs to be rectified as earlyas possible to strengthen India’snegotiating stand in any FTAnegotiations.

The restructuring of themanufacturing industry will taketime and, therefore, in the shortrun the costs will be borne byIndian industry. Indian exportsto China will need to expand

beyond primary goods. Resourceexports have weak linkages andneither benefit localcommunities if the process ofresource extraction is low laborintensive. One should notoverlook the fact that China is ahuge market. To tap these marketIndian exporters should: (a)target China’s demand forconsumer goods which it cannotproduce; and (b) plug intoChina’s supply chain networks,adds the ASSOCHAM study.

One needs to keep in viewthe disparity in size of theeconomy and productioncapacity between India andChina. India needs to negotiatereceiving similar (or higher)concessions that have beenoffered to other similarly placedpartner countries which enjoypreferential treatment inaccessing China.

The negotiations onpreferential market access toChina must enable Indianexports to be as competitive asthose from China or its otherFTA partners. Secondly, ratherthan agreeing on a general rulesof origin criter ion, thenegotiations should focus onachievable product-specific rulesof origin requirements, as therequirements differ from productto product.

Thirdly, the vulnerabilitiesof domestic industries to importsfrom China also need attentionwhen formulating andnegotiating India’s negative list.

which must ensure that energy consumption is reduced by 1.5 %per year. The recovery of drilled oils from machined metal bycentrifuging or reconditioning lubricants, waste recycling andenergy recovery with heat exchangers are other examples of howOerlikon handles resources for sustainable results.

Thomas Waldmann, Managing Director of the VDMA TextileMachinery Association summarised: “Today’s presentations are justa few examples showing that sustainability is an integral part inthe business of our member companies. With regard to the economicand ecological aspects of sustainability, VDMA member companieswill provide profound technological answers on how to adjust tovolatile energy and commodity prices as well as ecologicalrequirements from governments, brands, retailers, and consumersat ITMA 2015 in November in Milan.”

In the run-up to this event VDMA will publish a series ofbest practice examples that show how member companies areaddressing the ITMA motto “Master the art of sustainableinnovation” with their technologies and concepts.

Sustainability – best practice examplesinstead of empty watchwords

It aims to interconnect all ofGermany’s mechanical engineering industry, pooling the resources,know-how and strengths of VDMA members. Textile Machinery isone of 30 different mechanical engineering branches within BlueCompetence. Altogether some 400 companies take part. 35 membercompanies of the Textile Machinery Association participate in theinitiative, representing about two third of the sector’s turnover.

In March 2015, VDMA Textile Machinery Association andEuratex agreed upon collaboration of VDMA’s Blue Competenceinitiative and Euratex-led Energy Made-to-Measure campaign -the initiative for energy efficiency in the European textile andclothing industry. This includes:* exchange of information,* collaborate to organise meetings and workshops promotingmatters on energy efficiency* VDMA represented in the board of SET (Sustainable EnergyEfficiency for Textile SMEs, co-funded by the EU).

AUTEFA Solutions presents the “AutomaticNeedle Exchanger 2.0" at Techtextil FRA


At Techtextil in Frankfurtin Hall 3, AUTEFA Solutions haspresented the “Automatic NeedleExchanger 2.0”, which hasexperienced an enormous boostof innovation within the last twoyears and hardly reminds on itspredecessor model, which wasshown at Techtextil 2013.

Dr. Stefan Schlichter, CEOof AUTEFA Solutions explains:“The Needle Exchanger, shownin 2013, was a very good productand the Needle Exchanger 2. isan even better product! In the lasttwo years we really have investeda lot of passion in thedevelopment of the NeedleExchanger and – as they say, touse a nice phrase - we haveturned every stone. During thistime we also have received a lotof very positive feedback fromour customers, who share ourenthusiasm for this brilliantproduct idea.”

In two years ofdevelopment work themechanical components of theAutomatic Needle Exchangerwas completely redesigned. Thusthe operating speed could beincreased nearly by a factor of 4to 1,500 needles/h, which is

about 50% higher than theperformance of qualified humanspecialists. Together with thelarge capacity of the needlemagazine of more than 10,000needles and the optionallyavailable needle board magazinefor up to seven needle boards, anefficient and fully automaticoperation during a completeproduction shift is possible.

The Automatic NeedleExchanger is suitable for needleboards of all producers, in widthsof up to 2.000 mm x 400 mm.Further dimensions are availableas optional features. The deviceenables the needle exchange forall complete needle boards orindividually definable areaswithout any restriction to needledensity, needle design or needletype. The exchange is possibleeven in one board. In addition thesystem is capable of detectingand exchanging broken anddamaged needles.

The Automatic NeedleExchanger detects the insertedneedle board and stores allinformation about the exchangedneedles in a database. Inconnection with the needle loomsof AUTEFA Solutions detaileduser profiles of the needle boards

can be created and used for theoptimization of the needleexchange intervals and thereduction of needle costs.

The Needle Exchanger isa bit of an exotic in AUTEFASolutions portfolio, which aboveall is known for leadingmachines in the field ofnonwovens manufacturing. Themachine program includesbeyond others the CrosslapperTopliner, the Needle LoomStylus, the injection card and thewebmaster WM 2+2 cards.

“We have carefullyconsidered what to present atTechtextil”, Dr. Schlichter states.

“The selection of the fairexhibits depends on aspects suchas degree of innovation, qualityand efficiency and therefore weshould show all our products”,he adds with a smile. “Finally wehave decided to present theNeedle Exchanger once again,because it is such an outstandingproduct. Due to its superiorproductivity the NeedleExchanger has a very high utilityvalue; it follows the trend ofautomation and addresses manyof our customers. Finally thereis no competition. Moreinnovation is not possible.”

concern in at least three ofthem,” said Brad Loewen, chiefsafety inspector of the group of200 retailers formed after the2013 tragedy.

“We’ve asked the factoriesto halt work so that structuralengineers can have a look,” hesaid, adding his group — theBangladesh Accord on Fire andBuilding Safety — planned tocarry out more such inspections.

Reports of cracks at thetime of the quake promptedseveral factories to be evacuated,while some workers protestedagainst returning to theirmachines until the buildingswere declared safe.

The nine-storey RanaPlaza complex collapsed one dayafter cracks were seen appearingin the structure on the outskirtsof Dhaka, in one of the world’sworst industrial disasters.

The tragedy highlightedappalling safety and otherconditions for thousands ofworkers making clothes forWestern retailers, and piledpressure on top brands to cleanup Bangladesh’s textile industry,the world’s second largest afterChina. Dozens of factories shutdown or were ordered to shift tomore stable buildings.
