Temco launches a new DTY all-in-one solution

Temco introduces the DTY All-in-One Solution – a fully harmonized set of components engineered to give customers a highly stable, low maintenance and reproducible process environment. The solution reduces interruptions, extends component lifetimes and supports consistent yarn quality across all machine positions. All-in-One Solution – a fully harmonized set of components engineered to provide maintenance and reproducible process environment.

Temco’s new DTY All-in-One Solution integrates perfectly aligned components that act as one system to deliver controlled friction, smooth yarn handling and minimal vibration: The All-in-One Solution integrates perfectly aligned components that act as one system to deliver controlled friction, smooth yarn handling and minimal vibration:

Metal twist stopper DST MC – delivers highly precise twist control and superior mechanical robustness.

Bearing assembly LAG – ensures stable, low vibration operation and consistent yarn tension.

Nip roller LR – supports smooth yarn guidance in the relaxation zone with long service life.

FS and NanoDisc friction elements – provide uniform friction performance for consistent yarn quality.

Separator roller VR E – secures clean yarn separation with low friction and virtually no vibration.

By reducing friction fluctuations, vibration levels and maintenance requirements, this set of components enables reproducible yarn parameters and long-term process stability – even when processing fine or sensitive filament materials.

Precision twist control with the new DST MC

At the core of the solution is the new metal twist stopper DST MC, engineered for reliable twist blocking. Its low friction bearing, reduced inertia and uniform coating ensure smooth rotation, gentle filament contact and consistent yarn interaction across the entire DTY process. High resistance to radial forces enhances durability and supports stable performance over extended operating periods.

High resistance to radial forces enhances durability and supports stable performance over extended operating periods.

Reliable yarn tension and transport

The bearing assembly LAG contributes to uniform yarn tension thanks to its low vibration design, maintaining reproducible production parameters even under changing conditions. vibration design, maintaining reproducible production parameters even under changing conditions.

The nip roller LR stabilizes yarn transport in the relaxation zone, delivering long-lasting operational performance with minimal maintenance needs.

Consistent friction performance with FS and NanoDisc technology

Temco’s friction discs FS are manufactured with tight tolerances to deliver consistent friction characteristics and reproducible texturing behavior across all machine positions.

For fine PA6 and PA66 deniers, the NanoDisc provides tailored friction properties that enable higher production speeds or improved yarn performance. Trials show reduced fluff formation, stable friction and enhanced yarn parameters, with a typical service life of approximately two years in fine PA applications.

Stable yarn separation for high-speed and delicate applications

The separator rollers VR E complete the DTY All-in-One Solution by ensuring stable yarn separation with minimal vibration and low friction Lifetime-lubricated bearings eliminate the need for relubrication, while the chrome-coated surface ensures gentle yarn handling and long operating life – even at high speeds and with delicate microfilament yarns.

DIENES at Techtextil 2026: Flexible pilot lines for bio-based fiber development

The growing relevance of bio-based materials in technical textiles is accompanied by increasing demands for reproducibility, high-quality data, and scalable process routes. Especially when working with cellulose and its derivatives, chitosan, lignin-based approaches, or bio-based PAN as a carbon-fiber precursor, R&D teams face variable feedstock quality, tighter process windows, and the need for reliable comparability across trials. This calls for flexible, data-driven experimental setups that can be reconfigured efficiently when recipes, solvents, and raw-material batches change.

RETECH showcases high-precision godets for high-performance fiber processing at Techtextil 2026

RETECH designs and manufactures godets and draw frames for heated, ambient and cooled processes, enabling precise heat treatment and consistently high yarn quality for a wide range of polymers and applications, with process temperatures of up to 400 °C for high-performance fibers. The company’s key competence lies in exact and stable temperature and speed control, individually adapted to the specific material and process requirements.

Barmag presents the next generation of POY production – energy-efficient and partial-automated

With POY 2.0, Barmag is introducing a completely redesigned spinning concept that takes the production of partially oriented yarn (POY) to a new level in terms of technology and economy. The solution, which was presented to a selected audience of experts for the first time at ITMA Asia + CITME 2025, was met with great enthusiasm: several yarn producers worldwide immediately expressed their interest in a pilot plant.

New study shows low environmental impact by Cotton made in Africa Organic Cotton from Tanzania

Today, the Aid by Trade Foundation (AbTF) is announcing the results of a comprehensive life-cycle analysis (LCA) for cotton produced in Tanzania under the Cotton made in Africa Organic (CmiA Organic) standard. The study emphasises the small ecological footprint of CmiA Organic verified cotton. This can largely be traced back to the absence of synthetic pesticides, artificial fertilisers, and artificial irrigation. Consequently, CmiA Organic cotton can help the textile industry meet regulatory requirements as well as science-based targets. The results also show that the consequences of climate change threaten the livelihoods of these cotton farmers, even though the type of agriculture they practise barely contributes to climate change.

PERFORMANCE DAYS proves its relevance as the industry’s key meeting point

Held on March 18–19, 2026, PERFORMANCE DAYS once again confirmed its position as a leading international platform for functional textiles. A total of 3.366 trade visitors and around 560 exhibitors gathered in Munich, with the event already kicking off successfully on DAY 0, which received highly positive feedback for its interactive format. Despite challenging conditions caused by the public transport strike in Munich, the event saw strong attendance and a consistently high level of activity across both exhibition days.
