Trützschler’s recent expansion has made it the first full-liner in textile waste preparation, offering solutions ranging from mechanical recycling to spinning preparation of torn secondary fibers. This was made possible through a collaboration with Balkan Textile Machinery in Turkey and extensive research on textile recycling challenges.

According to Georg Stegschuster, a researcher specializing in textile recycling, achieving high-quality results requires fine-tuning both tearing and spinning preparation processes. By having expertise in both processes and ensuring optimal configurations and settings, manufacturers can minimize unnecessary fiber shortening while improving the quality of end-products made from recycled materials.

Trützschler’s Truecycled system covers the entire process of cutting, tearing, carding, and drawing secondary fibers from textile waste. This holistic approach combined with Trützschler’s extensive expertise allows manufacturers to maintain control over the process and prevent unnecessary fiber shortening. As a result, pre or post-consumer waste can be increased in yarns without sacrificing quality, demonstrating the potential for higher quality end-products from recycled materials.

Overall, Trützschler’s expansion has opened up new opportunities for manufacturers looking to incorporate textile waste into their production processes while maintaining high-quality standards.
