Trützschler has recently broadened its range of offerings to become the first full-liner in textile waste preparation, all the way from mechanical recycling to the spinning preparation of torn secondary fibers. Collaborating with Balkan Textile Machinery in Turkey, the company introduced the Truecycled recycling technology after extensive research and development efforts.
In order to tackle the challenges of textile recycling, which typically results in shorter fibers compared to virgin materials, Trützschler worked on achieving a perfect balance between tearing and spinning preparation. According to textile recycling expert Georg Stegschuster, this balance is crucial for optimal quality results and to prevent unnecessary fiber shortening. By having control over both processes and possessing the necessary expertise, manufacturers can ensure top-notch end-products.
Stegschuster emphasizes the technological potential for enhancing end-product quality through the right configurations and settings. He points out that there are numerous examples demonstrating the ability to improve the quality of recycled materials, as well as increase the use of pre- or post-consumer waste in yarns without compromising quality standards. Trützschler’s Truecycled system offers a holistic solution covering the entire process, from cutting and tearing textile waste to carding and drawing secondary fibers. This comprehensive approach, combined with Trützschler’s industry knowledge, enables manufacturers to prevent unnecessary fiber shortening and achieve high-quality results.
