DiloGroup at ITMA Hall 5, booth No. B201
At ITMA 2019 DiloGroup will once again exhibit a complete operating production line on a
booth space of ca. 1.100 m². This line will illustrate improvements and modifications as well as innovations in numerous machine design-engineering aspects. The complete
technological process starting with fibre preparation via card feeding, to precise web forming and the new Hyperpunch Hα needling will be shown. Elements of “industry 4.0” have been incorparated to design the assisting operating system “diloline 4.0”.

In the fibre preparation phase with DiloTemafa components, the “Baltromix Pro” will show a
faster blend changeover which is a prerequisite for even higher throughput. An exact control of the filling level avoids idling or over-filling by feeding fibre bales with the aid of a “bale timer”. The sensor module “DI-LoWatt” assures fibre transport with a minimum of air and thus saves energy.
The current universal card feeder VRS-P Vibration Chute is supplemented by a fine opening
stage to further improve feeding quality. After the “VectorQuadroCard” the latest version of
our high speed crosslapper “HyperLayer” will be included which allows highest throughput at small to medium layering widths and which is especially suited for hydroentanglement lines.
The advantages of the elliptical needle beam kinematics of Hyperpunch technology is even
better used in the “Hyperpunch Hα” loom as a very economic version of the classical
Hyperpunch technique. The needleloom on show – DI-LOOM OD-II SLHαV – is equipped
with the new needle pattern 6000X to give a very homogeneous stitching distribution.

An automatic starting-aid “smart-start” for the card with automatic threading to crosslapper and needleloom reduces the number of manual interventions.
In the field of “textile additive manufacturing” the “3D-Lofter” will offer further chances of fibre savings for needlefelts used in the automotive and other applications because topologically distributed fibre masses can be positioned in the felt where needed by so called “individual webforming spots”.
“diloline 4.0” includes a wide variety of “smart manufacturing” actions in collaboration with
Siemens which all aim at further simplifying operation, increasing transparency in web
forming and consolidation thereby increasing efficiency. Production data are stored,
documented and compared. An “alarm monitor” indicates disturbances. A production
analysis documents the reasons for standstill times. This data can be used to avoid
disturbances. Numerous information modules can be recalled via mobile apps and cloud
data (mindSpheres). All these methods to control the machines and to generate production
data will be helpful to further secure the complex functions within the production system
independently of personnel and shift.
DiloGroup looks forward to meeting numerous visitors from around the world at this most
important textile machinery exhibition in Barcelona from June 20 – 26, 2019.
