Trützschler’s Revolutionary Textile Recycling Technology: Achieving Higher Quality End-Products from Secondary Fibers

Trützschler has recently expanded its portfolio to become the first full-liner in the preparation of textile waste, offering solutions from mechanical recycling to the spinning preparation of torn secondary fibers. This expansion was made possible through the development of Truecycled recycling technology in collaboration with Balkan Textile Machinery in Turkey.

The challenges of textile recycling are extensive, often resulting in shorter fibers compared to virgin materials. Georg Stegschuster, a researcher specializing in textile recycling, emphasizes the importance of fine-tuning both tearing and spinning preparation processes to achieve the best quality results and minimize unnecessary fiber shortening. By having expertise in both processes and ensuring optimal configurations and settings, manufacturers can improve the quality of end-products made from recycled materials without compromise.

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