Dilo Group, leading company in the field of complete staple fibre nonwoven production lines, during the year having seen a great demand for their lines for the production of needle felts and an above-average order intake from the important markets has been registered, has decided to exhibit the company’s complete lines to show the latest developments in all components at the upcoming ITMA 2015 exhibition due to take place from 12-19 November in Milan.

This includes fibre preparation (opening and blending) from DiloTemafa, card and card feeding from DiloSpinnbau, followed by crosslapper and needlelooms from DiloMachines.

In Milan DiloGroup will exhibit two complete lines to show the broad scope of its portfolio on a total booth area of 1.232 m². Dilo will show a staple fibre needling line for the production of technical textiles in wide working width, which is especially suitable to produce geotextiles.

Fibre preparation from DiloTemafa starts with a bale opener BTDL of the latest design, which is suitable for processing longer fibres. The subsequent carding willow KW combines in the preopening stage good preblending and preopening with highest throughput.

It is also designed for processing longer fibres. New design elements are said to allow longer cleaning intervals with reduced cleaning time. The subsequent dosing opener DON feeds the fibres via its fine opening stage to the newly developed card feeder type VRS-P.

The VRS-P feeder combines the principle of volumetric precisely charged feeding, with the characteristics of a vibration chute feeder and eliminates a conventional large trunk (on the top). This results in a better and more homogeneous distribution of the fibre flocks.

Furthermore, a lower ceiling height of the building reduces the costs for the construction of the factory and its operating expenses, the company reports.

The newly developed card VectorQuadroCard incorporates a completely new modular transfer group between breast and main section, the company reports. The flexible and quick change of this transfer group makes possible three different card types: type VQ-Q , type VQ-V, and type VQ-T.

The model series VQC uses four worker/stripper pairs of rollers on the preopener and five worker/stripper pairs on the main cylinder. Furthermore, the delivery system is also very flexible and may be combined in different variations.

The new crosslapper type Super-DLSC 200 allows electro-mechanical speeds of up to 200 m/min for web infeed speeds, depending on the fibre specification. It aims at reducing a possible bottleneck for the total throughput of the complete installation.

At the crosslapper infeed Dilo has installed the proven CV1A web regulation system for an improved evenness of the needlefelt with a great potential for fibre savings. This very high web infeed speed has been made possible by a further increase of the drive power within the 3-apron-layering technology. After the crosslapper, Dilo will show a new needleloom type DI-LOOM OD-II AB with CBF feeding system.

In addition to wide needling lines for the economic production of large volume products as in the geotextile industry, Dilo will show a compact line, which is designed for the production of small amounts of high quality felts used in the medical sector and for specialty felts made from fibres such as carbon. The working width of the compact carding machine is 1.1 m, the layering width is 2.2 m.

The DiloGroup looks forward to this major international exhibition and especially to meeting customers from all over the world. DiloGroup have offices in USA, China and Russia. They are represented in about 80 countries.
