Oerlikon wants to prepare customers for the future of manmade fiber production. This will ultimately result in improved yarn quality environmentally-compatible and sustainable production processes. With the 4.0 system producers can maintain a constant overview of all processes – from the poly condensation, spinning and texturing all the way through to downstream further processing procedures. This helps clients increase the productivity of their systems, save energy and deploy resources efficiently.

The Oerlikon Manmade Fiber segment comprises two brands: Oerlikon Barmag and Oerlikon Neumag. With its many years of expertise in complex production systems engineering, Oerlikon Barmag focuses on continuous polymerization, pre oriented yarn, fully drawn yarn, industrial yarn as well as tape and monofilament products and services.

Oerlikon Neumag is the leading supplier of technologies and plants within the global staple fiber market. Customers benefit from the best technology and process solutions for their specific requirements – for high-quality fibers from a single source. For the nonwovens (spun bond, melt blown and air laid) sector, Oerlikon Neumag has the new, multifunctional forming table. The melt blown system is characterized by its considerably reduced footprint. The resulting shortened wire length reduces maintenance costs. It is horizontally movable, multiply-segmented and offers individually-adjustable suction boxes. This enables extremely flexible formation and hence increased product diversity.
