Spinning mills around the world use Trützschler ma­chine technology for opening, blending, cleaning, carding and drawing of cotton and man-made fibres. The result is a perfect sliver, consisting of clean, evenly aligned fibres. Precisely this process – between harvesting the natural resource and spinning the yarn – forms the basis for the quality of all subsequent processing steps.

Regardless whether card sliver or web is to be produced clothings are applied at the decisive points. They are special wires, on one side equipped with spikes or teeth, respectively. Geometry and material of these wires have an important influence on product quality. Their function is to align the individual fibres of cotton or man-made fibres in such a way that an absolutely homogenous interim product is created. This requirement is met by Trützschler Card Clothing through extensive know-how and uncompromising production quality.

What has started decades ago under the term needle felt has developed into a flexible high-tech web material that is the basis for many textile applications. The often razor-thin webs are produced on so-called roller cards, and thus already geared towards their future use. Erko Trützschler is the specialist for development and production of roller cards and other machines for the production of nonwovens within the world of Trützschler.

Fleissner specialises in the finishing of nonwoven fabrics. The company develops and produces systems in the area of nonwovens, man-made fibres, paper/tissue, and textiles. The range of application of so-called nonwovens is almost unlimited: These nonwoven web materials are used, among other things, in hygiene products and cloth­ing, but also in the food sector in form of tea bags, or in the automotive industry as noise-absorbent mats.
