When the international textile industry gathers at Techtextil in Frankfurt from April 21 to 24, Saurer is going to present a powerful solution for the growing demands in the field of technical yarns with the TechnoCorder TC2plus.

At booth B56 in Hall 12 the company will demonstrate how modern twisting and cabling technology unlocks new market potential and sustainably optimizes pro-duction processes at the same time.

The new TechnoCorder TC2plus stands for maximum flexibility, innovative yarn ar-chitectures and outstanding cost-efficiency.

Redefined flexibility

The requirements for technical yarns are continually increasing – specialization, customization, and efficiency are decisive success factors.

The TechnoCorder TC2plus was specifically developed for this dynamic environ-ment. It processes fine and coarse yarns, low and high twist levels and even a wide range of materials with exceptional process stability.

The result: maximum productivity with consistently high yarn quality.

FlexiPly – Innovation opening new markets

Unlike conventional processes, FlexiPly enables the dynamic combination of dif-ferent yarn types and counts. This allows the production of so-called hybrid yarns that are precisely engineered for their specific end-use loads, which pro-vide significant advantages for applications such as mechanical rubber goods, tire reinforcements or smart textiles.

FlexiPly represents intelligent material utilization, innovative product concepts and clear competitive advantages.

Performance for sensitive high-tech applications

Especially technical yarns demand the highest standards of process stability and material protection. The specially developed fine-count spindle, designed spe-cifically for the sensitive range starting at 110 dtex, guarantees excellent yarn quality at maximum productivity. It is ideally suited for medical textiles, protective clothing and lightweight technical fabrics.

With this approach the TechnoCorder TC2plus sets new standards in precision and efficiency.

Authentic effects with maximum performance

Also in the artificial turf segment the TC2plus opens entirely new possibilities. Its integrated cabling function blends various PE monofilaments into sophisticated yarn constructions that authentically reproduce natural light and shadow ef-fects.

The result is a highly convincing natural appearance combined with outstanding production efficiency.

Cost-effectiveness down to the last detail

Besides its technological flexibility the TechnoCorder TC2plus stands out for its smart process optimization features. The option to choose between random and precision winding ensures seamless alignment with downstream operations.

An integrated setup assistant helps operators to define the optimal package configuration within minutes, minimizing changeover times, maximizing machine uptime and sustainably enhancing overall equipment effectiveness.

Future-Proof solutions for technical textiles

The TechnoCorder TC2plus highlights Saurer’s ongoing commitment to empower-ing customers worldwide with advanced, high-performance and economically efficient technologies.
