Oerlikon, through its brands Oerlikon Barmag, Oerlikon Neumag, and Oerlikon Nonwoven, is set to present its latest yarn production innovations at ITMA Asia + CITME from October 28–31, 2025, in Singapore (Hall 4, booth C 204). The focus is on enhancing productivity and sustainability across yarn, fiber, and nonwoven manufacturing.
The textile sector’s growing complexity calls for customized, flexible solutions, and Oerlikon addresses this through plant concepts and integrated packages. Artificial intelligence is already embedded in its ecosystem, including the digital operating system atmos.io. This platform serves as the backbone of intelligent yarn production, digitizing the full material flow from melt to warehouse. Its benefits include reduced waste, improved quality, simplified shop floor operations, and seamless IT integration backed by strong cybersecurity.
The WINGS FDY FLEX system represents the future of filament spinning, offering flexibility for rapid product changes, a wide yarn portfolio, and compatibility with recycled polyester. In POY production, Barmag is unveiling the next-generation process, while the eFK EvoSmart texturing machine combines quality with efficiency. Featuring EvoHeater and Smart Godets, it reduces energy consumption by up to 25%, cuts maintenance requirements by half, and ensures consistent performance across weaving, knitting, and finishing.
For staple fiber production, Oerlikon Neumag introduces the EvoSteam process, delivering significant energy savings and improved fiber quality, alongside EvoDuct and EvE-2 for optimized airflow and extraction. The new automated spin pack wiping robot, adapted from filament spinning, boosts efficiency and reduces maintenance costs in staple fiber lines.
In BCF yarn production, Neumag launches BICO BCF for carpets, delivering lighter fabrics with higher pile strength and lower fiber use. The FiberGuard BCF system, compatible with current and retrofitted machines, uses real-time yarn tension monitoring to reduce waste and increase efficiency.
Oerlikon Nonwoven is highlighting the hycuTEC unit, a breakthrough for filtration-grade meltblown nonwovens with 99.99% efficiency through electrostatic charging. In spunbond production, the BiCo process with polyester and co-polyester polymers further extends applications in water filtration.
