ITM in Istanbul is a major opportunity for the Turkish industrialists to meet the French equipment manufacturers at the highest level.
The French exhibitors, which are waiting to welcome them, belong to UCMTF, the trade association whose new Secretary General, Christian Guinet, has a very good personal knowledge and understanding of the Turkish textile and carpeting industries.
Of course, the recent global turmoil due to the coronavirus has slowed many projects but as Christian Guinet states “market changes is what our industry is about, it is quicker and quicker whatever the day-to-day issues. Then, our members have to be closer and closer partners for their customers in order to interact with them, understand their needs, focus their R&D to find solutions, offer state-of-the-art equipments and the best service to every customer. “
He adds “French textile equipment manufacturers are R & D and service geeks. As they are SME’s run by entrepreneurs just as their Turkish customers, it is very easy for them to understand each other very well and to go beyond usual business relationships”.
France is the sixth major textile equipment exporters worldwide. The French companies are particularly strong in long fibre spinning (wool, acrylic …), yarn twisting and control (including technical yarns), space-dyeing, heat setting for carpet yarns, carpet systems, dyeing and finishing, felts and belts for finishing processes, nonwovens, air conditioning of textile plants and recycling processes of textile materials. The total annual consolidated turnover is about 1 billion Euros.
For many years, the French have been very active on the Turkish market. In Gaziantep, they were the first ones to organize a national pavilion, it was back in 1995. In Izmir and Gaziantep, they have organized road shows. Next on the agenda is ITM.
NSC fibre to yarn Hall 3 Booth 315E
“NSC fibre to yarn” continues to develop Tow to Top lines with the model S200 of stretch breaker followed by the new model of Defelter rebreaker D5GC40 and the GC40 chain gill. As finisher m/c, the FMV41/42 vertical rubbing frame takes place.
Recently, “NSC fibre to yarn” has installed semi-worsted lines with SW35 carding m/c card (2.5 m or 3.5 m wide), manufactured by N. Schlumberger followed by preparation lines consisting of chain gills model GC 40 and finishers m/c model FMV41/42.
“NSC fibre to yarn” offers to modernize recycling lines for acrylic fibres or blended fibres by introducing its well-known combing machine ERA between card and gills drafting. The contribution of the combing machine ERA is economically essential according to 4 points of view:
– production: 1 ton per day in 3 deniers. (3 shifts)
– cleanliness: 25% of neps less compared with PB family m/c.
– energy consummation: equipment with economic saving: Use of energy efficient motors.
– reduced consumption of spare parts owing to a new design of kinematics.
“NSC fibre to yarn” remains continuously at the disposal of its Turkish customers. To offer the best service, an organization of spare parts has been set up with the BILGE/Automation company and Samoteks, the agent for Turkey, is well known by all customers.
“NSC fibre to yarn” will be on the booth of his agent SAMOTEKS.

Yarn used in carpet is becoming thinner and thinner, new types of fibers are used, new extrusion methods are applied to create new types of yarn. This permanent evolution requires adapted processes, more efficient and connected machines to allow the development of products with new, customized properties.
To meet all these demands, Superba is offering a wide range of machines and processes.
Already the leader in heat-setting with saturated steam under pressure thanks to their well-known TVP3, Superba is now offering their hot-air heat-setting solution with the DHS3 line.
This triple-layer heat-setting process provides an unequaled level of evenness and a highly homogenous fixation characteristic to the yarn, as well as stain resistance or enhanced bulk. The DHS3 line offers a high energy saving process in a reduced floor-space.
To complete their range, Superba is also introducing their new B403 automatic winder. expanding its area of application beyond the carpet yarn field, the B403 marks a real technological breakthrough with its individual spindle motorization drive; it enables a constant tension winding process, an accurate bobbin length measuring as well as a unique quality control for each yarn position. The winder can be connected through cloud computing to the VANDEWIELE “Texconnect” supervision system to comply with the Factory 4.0 concept.
Finally, with the BXE extrusion line from VANDEWIELE, the MF400 texturizing machine and the MCD3 space-dyeing machine as complementary processes before heat-setting, with Superba lines, the carpet industry gets all the necessary equipment to produce innovative yarn types, allowing manufacturers to make the highest quality carpets at the most economic prices.
