Monforts part of the VDMA Trade Delegation to Turkmenistan

Monforts will take part in a VDMA textile technology trade delegation to Turkmenistan from November 21-26, on behalf of the German Federal Ministry of Economics.

Around 80% of Turkmenistan’s production of textiles and garments is currently exported, with a value of $350 million in 2020. This is now expected to rise to $450 million by 2023.

In addition to expanding in cotton yarns and fabrics, the country is also looking to enter other textile markets, including nonwovens, carpets and absorbent hygiene products, and negotiations are currently underway between the Turkmenistan Ministry of Textile Industry and the Korean Institute of Industrial Technologies to also commence manufacturing synthetic fibres from polymers.

In 2021, a new textile complex was opened by state-owned textile manufacturer Cotam in the city of Kaka, which is aiming to produce 3,650 tons of yarn, 12 million square metres of different types of fabrics and 1.2 million tons of finished products annually, with the creation of 1,300 new jobs.

Monforts has supplied seven complete finishing machine ranges to Turkmenistan company Cotam, as the Central Asian country looks to boost its production of cotton yarns and fabrics via an ambitious textile industry modernisation plan.

Cotam now has two separate manufacturing sites at Babadayhan and Kaka, both of which have now been equipped with Monforts technologies built at the company’s plant in St Stefan in Austria.

Cotam supplies finished fabrics to both the apparel and home textiles markets and at its Babadayhan plant is now operating two Montex stenter lines and a Monfortex sanforizing line. At its new Kaka plant, the company has also installed two Montex stenter lines, as well as a Thermex universal hotflue for continuous dyeing and curing.

“Turkmenistan celebrated 30 years of independence in 2021 and has made a giant leap forward in its progressive development,” said Monforts Managing Director Stefan Flöth. “A textile industry equipped with modern high-tech equipment has been created factories and equipped with the most advanced and high-performance equipment built and put into operation. We are extremely pleased that the Ministry of the Textile Industry of Turkmenistan chose Monforts machinery for its new textile complex in Kaka and together with the machines for Babadayhan and other recent projects we are proud to say that 15 Monforts machines are now established in the country.”

This is the ideal process for fast change technology and operational savings.”

Among key benefits are the saving of resources compared to conventional continuous dyeing methods, excellent reproducibility of pale to dark shades, from lab to bulk, and greater flexibility in production planning due to a resulting dry fabric that does not need an immediate wash off.

Econtrol® is a registered trademark of DyStar® Colours Distribution GmbH, Germany, and Bertram Seuthe of DyStar® will be providing recommendations for dyes and auxiliaries for the process during the VDMA event.

A third speaker, Guido Seiler of Fong’s Europe, will explain how Goller washing ranges help to significantly reduce the water that is conventionally wasted in the washing off process, through a combination of process and chemistry know-how and advanced technologies.

VDMA: Masken-Produktion: Ohne Textilmaschinen läuft nichts

  • Schutzmasken, Alltagsmasken, Desinfektionstücher und OP-Kittel sind in Zeiten von Corona gefragte Güter.
  • Bei ihrer Herstellung stehen Textilmaschinen am Anfang der Produktionskette.

Die Herstellung des textilen Ausgangsmaterials ist der erste Schritt der meistens mehrstufigen Produktionsverfahren. Mitglieder des VDMA Textilmaschinen stehen am Anfang dieser technologischen Kette.

Bei Schutzmasken geht es los mit der Produktion des Filtermaterials, das für Mund-Nasen-Schutzmasken sowie Atemschutzmasken FFP2 und FFP3 aus feinporigem Vliesstoff besteht, um Corona-Viren abfangen zu können. Neben den dafür zum Einsatz kommenden Anlagen, Maschinen und Komponenten sorgt Mess- und Regeltechnik für höchste Qualität wichtiger Parameter wie Flächengewicht und Luftdurchlässigkeit. An die Vliesstoffe für die Atemschutzmasken werden ebenso hohe Qualitätsanforderungen gestellt, wie an die Maske – um den Schutz des Maskenträgers zu gewährleisten.

Neben den dafür zum Einsatz kommenden Anlagen, Maschinen und Komponenten sorgt Mess- und Regeltechnik für höchste Qualität wichtiger Parameter wie Flächengewicht und Luftdurchlässigkeit. An die Vliesstoffe für die Atemschutzmasken werden ebenso hohe Qualitätsanforderungen gestellt, wie an die Maske – um den Schutz des Maskenträgers zu gewährleisten.

Mitglieder des VDMA Textilmaschinen haben in kürzester Zeit auf neue Bedürfnisse reagiert und neue Technologien für gewirkte, gestrickte und gewebte Mund-Nasen-Masken entwickelt, die ohne Nähaufwand hergestellt werden können. Für Mund-Nasen-Schutzmasken, FFP2-Masken und Mund-Nasen-Masken kommen auch andere, vielfältige Materialien und -kombinationen zum Einsatz (Vliesstoffe, Gewebe, Gewirke, Gestricke und Laminate daraus). Zum Tragen der Masken werden elastische Bänder benötigt, für deren Herstellung mehrere Verbandsmitglieder Technologien zur Verfügung stellen.

Materialien für Masken können mit Textilchemikalien antiviral und antibakteriell ausgerüstet werden. Hierzu bieten Mitgliedsfirmen des VDMA Auftragssysteme, die entsprechende Chemikalien auf Warenbahnen applizieren. Wie bereits erwähnt, ist bei Medizinprodukten die Qualitätssicherung extrem wichtig. Hierzu bieten VDMA-Mitgliedsfirmen Softwaresysteme, mit denen jede Maske durch den gesamten Produktionsprozess rückverfolgbar ist.

Auch für das Konfektionieren von Atemschutzmasken bieten VDMA-Mitglieder z. T. kurzfristig entwickelte Lösungen an. Damit können Atemschutzmasken hergestellt werden, die die einschlägigen Normen sowie höchste Qualitätsansprüche von Kunden und Marktaufsicht erfüllen. Dies gilt für Anlagen zur Produktion von Mund-Nasen-Schutz wie für FFP-Masken. Am Ende der Produktionskette kommen Maschinen zum Verpacken von Masken in Einzel- oder Mehrstückverpackungen zum Einsatz.

In Pandemie-Zeiten steigt auch die Nachfrage nach Schutzkitteln (sogenannte OP-Kittel). Das gleiche gilt für Desinfektionstücher. Auch für diese textilen Produkte stellen VDMA-Mitglieder maßgeschneiderte Maschinen zur Produktion bis hin zur Verpackung her. Die Qualität der Produkte wird mit Hilfe von Mess- und Regeltechnik sichergestellt.

Der VDMA Textilmaschinen hat im Zuge der Corona-Krise eine neue Web-Veranstaltungsreihe "Textile Machinery Webtalk" gestartet. Darin stellen Experten von bis zu drei VDMA-Mitgliedsunternehmen ihre innovativen Technologien in maximal 90 Minuten zu einem bestimmten Thema vor und stehen den Teilnehmern für Fragen zur Verfügung. Die Vorträge werden in englischer Sprache gehalten. Die Teilnahme an den Web-Veranstaltungen ist kostenfrei.

Themen der ersten beiden Webtalks waren:
“Technologies for the production of melt-blown nonwovens for respiratory protection masks (FFP masks and surgical masks).”  
“Technologies for the production of respiratory protection masks (FFP masks and surgical masks).”

Das Format wird gut angenommen. An den beiden ersten Webtalks nahmen jeweils rund 180 Personen aus mehr als 30 Ländern teil. Der VDMA erreicht mit diesem Format sowohl Textil- und Vliesstoffhersteller, die bereits diese Produkte herstellen als auch Unternehmen, die in neue Geschäftsfelder investieren wollen.

Das nächste Webtalk findet am 23. Juli 2020 von 14.00 bis 16.00 Uhr zum aktuellen Thema „Technology solutions to produce fully-fashioned community face masks” statt. Hierzu werden Experten von KARL MAYER, STOLL by KARL MAYER und Jakob Müller ihre Technologien zur Herstellung textiler Alltagsmasken einem internationalen Fachpublikum vorstellen. Interessenten können sich hier registrieren:

The German exhibitors increased their booth space by approximately 15 % compared to 2016.

“Choose the original - Choose success" is the message of the VDMA Textile Machinery at this trade fair. On the occasion of the VDMA press conference on the opening day of ITMA ASIA, Ms Karin Christine Schmidt, Technical Director VDMA Textile Machinery, emphasised: “Copycat machines may look similar to the systems they are designed to emulate. But only originals do not simply follow but are pacesetters of technological progress.” Original technology is a keystone of innovation. It has the potential to successfully turn visions of entirely new possibilities in the textile production into reality.

This approach is visualised at the VDMA booth. The stand achieves attention and emotion through the picture motif: Neuschwanstein Castle. This world-famous tourist magnet is more than that: it is also a successful original. A vision, which could be successfully implemented in the long term through innovation and technology!

During the press conference, 18 spokespersons of renowned VDMA member companies showed how original technology can indeed play a major role in China’s and other Asian nation’s efforts to increase the resource efficiency of the textile industry and to interconnect information technology and manufacturing processes.  

Topics of the companies included automation, performance improvement, quality, sustainable solutions (raw material, energy, water saving), Industry 4.0 (in China called intelligent manufacturing), digital AR/VR services, platforms and software.
