THE MOST EFFICIENT BASIC YARN CLEARING

Spinning - Yarn

PRISMA SIMULTANEOUS DUAL MEASUREMENT PRISMA’s simultaneous dual measurement is the most effective way to detect basic faults in yarn quality control. Providing spinning mills with the best yarn quality while reducing waste, splice cycles and energy consumption. PRISMA's optical infrared and mass sensors work in harmony, combining the two outputs into one signal. This ensures the most accurate fault detection and the most precise cut execution. The sensor takes into account factors like raw material, type of fault, length of the fault, and even hairiness, which results in the best recognition and classification of faults by length and intensity. Spinning mills that rely on PRISMA can be sure of the highest profitability at all times. Why invest in dual measurement technology? Every s

Oldest BRÜCKNER customer invests in state-of-the-art coating line

Dyeing – Finishing, Fairs

Textilveredlung DRECHSEL GmbH, one of the leading contract finishers and coaters in Germany for several decades, invests in a state-of-the-art new coating line. DRECHSEL was founded in 1950 at its current location in Selb, Upper Franconia, Germany, as dyehouse GEIPEL und DRECHSEL and initially dealt with the dyeing of yarns as well as the re-dyeing of used clothing. To simplify the drying of these fabrics, the company invested in a stenter as early as 1952 and found a reliable partner in BRÜCKNER. For BRÜCKNER, at that time just founded as a small engineering company, it was an honor to deliver the first BRÜCKNER stenter to today's company Textilveredlung DRECHSEL. For more than 71 years now, the two companies have been working together in partnership and successfully and celeb
