Industrial Yarn (IDY)

Industrial yarns are considered to be the ultimate discipline in filament manufacturing. High tenacities, extreme dimensional stability, tremendous durability along with a large range of titers – although the demanding production process promises high-margins, it is however also simultaneously a huge challenge both for the yarn manufacturer and the systems constructor.

Sustainable solutions for IDY production

With a operation window of between 50 and 12,000 den per filament, Oerlikon Barmag industrial yarn systems cover an extremely-wide titer range. Depending on the application and the required yarn characteristics, our systems produce ‘strong’ yarns for all applications: from high-tenacity high-modulus yarn for safety belts, HMLS yarns for tire cords all the way through to low and ultra-low shrinkage yarns for tarpaulins.

High yarn Quality

High yarn Quality

No compromises in terms of quality

Yarn quality is the decisive criterion, particularly in industrial applications. After all, our lives frequently depend on it. Here, we are by your side – 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 and the winder.

Your benefits :

  • EvoQuench radial quenching unit guarantees excellent yarn evenness for HMLS
  • HF godets ensure gentle yarn treatment
  • ACW winder produces excellent quality arn packages
