BB Engineering will present its latest synthetic fiber spinning and recycling technologies at ITM 2026 in Istanbul from June 9–13, highlighting innovations designed to improve yarn quality, process efficiency and sustainable textile production.The company will exhibit at Hall 7, Booth 702B alongside its parent company Barmag and representative Tekstil Servis, showcasing its complete portfolio of man-made fiber and PET recycling technologies, including extruders, filtration systems, spinning solutions and air-texturing equipment.
BB Engineering Introduces New Patented ValuePack Spin Pack
One of the major highlights at ITM 2026 will be the launch of BB Engineering’s new patented “ValuePack” spin pack technology.The advanced spin pack combines two-stage filtration using both metal sand and filter candle technology to improve melt filtration, homogenization and spinning performance. Traditionally, spin packs have relied on either metal powder filtration systems for virgin materials or filter candles for recycling applications, each offering distinct advantages and limitations.The new ValuePack system integrates both methods into a single process. The polymer melt first passes through a filter candle that provides fine filtration down to 15 microns before moving through a sand chamber that enhances homogenization and shear performance.According to BB Engineering, the result is significantly improved temperature and viscosity homogeneity, enhanced spinning stability and superior yarn quality across a broad range of applications, including recycled materials.The company also noted that the ValuePack uses a pressure-independent forced sealing system that minimizes leakage risks and expands the process operating window. Existing spinning systems can also be retrofitted with the new technology.
VarioFil Compact Spinning System Gains Strong Demand in Türkiye
BB Engineering will also highlight its well-established VarioFil compact spinning system, which has become particularly popular among Turkish fiber and textile manufacturers.Designed for flexibility and consistent yarn quality, VarioFil produces multiple yarn types including POY, FDY, HTY, LSY and HMY from a variety of polymers with production capacities reaching up to 450 kilograms per hour per extruder.The system is also capable of directly spinning recycled PET and bottle flakes into high-quality yarns, supporting circular textile manufacturing initiatives.Ralf Morgenroth stated that Türkiye has become the company’s largest market for VarioFil, with more than 60 systems installed globally since the product’s launch. Fibers produced using the system are widely used in apparel, carpets and automotive textile applications including seat covers and seat belts.
COBRA Filter Targets Recycling Efficiency
Another major technology featured at ITM 2026 will be BB Engineering’s new COBRA Filter filtration solution, first introduced at the Plastics Recycling Show Europe and K 2025.Developed to address rising contamination levels in plastic recycling processes, the COBRA system combines continuous large-area filtration with automated chemical-free cleaning technology.The system uses dual filter cartridges with automatic switching to ensure uninterrupted operation while handling highly contaminated recycled materials that conventional candle filters and screen changers often struggle to process.According to the company, the integrated cleaning system extends filter service life while reducing operational costs, melt loss and energy consumption without requiring chemical cleaning agents.The COBRA filter is designed for both coarse and fine filtration applications and can be used in PET recycling, plastic spinning and retrofit projects aimed at improving manufacturing efficiency.
Focus on Sustainable Textile Manufacturing
BB Engineering’s showcase at ITM 2026 reflects growing industry demand for advanced recycling technologies, high-efficiency filtration systems and sustainable synthetic fiber production.As textile manufacturers increasingly invest in circular production models and recycled material processing, technologies such as ValuePack, VarioFil and COBRA are expected to play a significant role in improving operational performance while supporting environmental sustainability goals.
