With its DTY solutions, Barmag is focusing on sustainability
Remscheid, April 03, 2025 – With a clear focus on sustainability, Barmag, a subsidiary of the
Swiss Oerlikon Group, is presenting comprehensive solutions from its product brands Oerlikon
Barmag and Oerlikon Neumag for DTY and carpet yarn production at the Morocco Stitch & Tex
Expo in Casablanca. From May 13 to 15, trade visitors can talk to experts from Barmag and the
joint venture BB Engineering (BBE) at the Unionmatex booth (booth B4) to get an idea of the
portfolio of the chemical fiber machine manufacturer.
Sustainable and efficient – the production of DTY yarns
Oerlikon Barmag offers a wide range of DTY machine configurations for the efficient and sustainable
production of high-quality textured yarns made of various polymers – from polyester and polyamide to
polypropylene, PLA and PTT. The modular machines – whether manual or automatic – produce yarns
for excellent downstream processing at optimal OPEX costs.
Fancy yarns increasingly in demand
The demand for textiles with special characteristics is continuously increasing. For the production of
these effect yarns, such as cotton-like DTY, linen-like DTY or wool-like DTY, Oerlikon Barmag offers a
variety of processes and additional components. With its high-quality and flexible technology as well as
its detailed knowledge of the yarn path and the required parameter settings, Oerlikon Barmag is the
ideal partner for the successful and flexible production as well as the continuous further development of
these specialty yarns.
Extended product range for carpet yarns
Thanks to its comprehensive knowledge of all relevant technologies in manmade fiber spinning, Oerlikon
Barmag is the only manufacturer worldwide that can expand its range for the production of carpet yarns.
The system concept, based on a POY and texturing process, is designed for the carpet and home textile
sector and produces particularly soft and bulky polyester threads with BCF-like properties. The aim is to
produce yarns with a titer of up to 1300dtex and over 1000 filaments, such as 1300dtex f1152, 660dtex
f1152 and 990dtex f768. The machine concept includes the well-known WINGS HD POY winder and
the eAFK Big-V texturing machine.
Innovative bicomponent BCF yarn for the carpet market
Quality, efficiency and performance – with its latest development in the field of bicomponent yarns for
carpet production, Barmag's product brand Oerlikon Neumag is meeting the carpet market's demand for
innovative BCF yarns. The new BICO-BCF yarn is characterized by a richer and higher volume and
simultaneously significantly reduces the raw material consumption during carpet manufacturing.
VarioFil® – versatile compact spinning system for diverse applications and specialties
The VarioFil® system from BBE is ideal for a broad range of products, whether it be carpets, upholstery
fabrics, fashion, sports, seat belts or airbags. This compact turnkey spinning line is particularly suitable
for producers of small batches or specialized products. It flexibly processes various polymers such as
PET, PP, PA 6, PA 6.6 and PBT. In combination with Oerlikon Barmag texturing machines, a wide range
of textile standard yarns as well as textured yarns with BCF-like properties can be produced.
The VarioFil® R+ enables the direct recycling and processing of PET bottle flakes and PET waste from
the start-up process into POY. This sustainable machine concept offers a high degree of product
flexibility, including the production of spun-dyed yarn.
JeTex® air texturing offers a versatile product portfolio
BB Engineering also offers flexible solutions for the subsequent texturing of yarns. The JeTex® air
texturing system perfectly complements the Oerlikon Barmag DTY systems and expands the product
portfolio to include high-quality ATY based on POY and FDY for various textile applications. The
centerpiece of the system is the texturing box developed by BB Engineering, which ensures gentle yarn
treatment with reliable texturing effects and production efficiency.
“From waste to value” with VacuFil and Visco
BBE's VacuFil PET recycling system transforms textile waste into high-quality rPET melt. The
technology is based on decades of experience in extrusion, filtration and spinning and combines gentle
large-area filtration with targeted IV control. VacuFil processes various input materials, from bottle flakes
to production waste and post-consumer waste. The patented Visco+ component removes volatile
contaminants and automatically regulates the IV. The recycled melt can be added to the main melt
stream, pelletized into chips or fed directly back into the spinning mill. The VacuFil system is modular
and flexibly adaptable to customer needs.
