Barmag and Rieter to Jointly Exhibit at ITM 2026 in Istanbul

Barmag will exhibit alongside its parent company Rieter for the first time at ITM 2026 in Istanbul. The event will take place from June 9 to 13 at the Tüyap Fair Convention and Congress Center. Both companies will present solutions across manmade fiber production processes and digital manufacturing.

Barmag, known for chemical fiber equipment, will present its full range of technologies covering filament yarn, staple fiber, and nonwoven production, along with systems designed for connected manufacturing environments.

Part of the new POY 2.0 spinning concept is the new WINGS POY 2.0 winder, which features an automatic string-up function for the first time.

Among the key developments is the POY 2.0 concept, previously introduced to selected audiences at ITMA Asia + CITME 2025 in Singapore. The semi-automated winding machine at the core of the concept will be presented publicly for the first time. The WINGS POY 2.0 includes an automatic string-up function, designed to maintain short string-up times and reduce waste. It also lowers staffing requirements at the winding stage. Additional features aim to improve energy efficiency, material usage, waste reduction, and yarn quality.

Barmag will also present the eFK EvoSmart manual texturing machine, which focuses on reducing energy consumption while maintaining yarn quality and process stability. Features such as EvoHeater and Smart Godets contribute to energy optimization, with potential savings of 25% per kilogram of yarn. Maintenance requirements can be reduced by up to 50%.

The Neumag EvoSteam process delivers not only significant energy savings but also even better fiber quality.

Neumag will highlight its EvoSteam process, which incorporates developments such as EvoDuct and EvE-2. EvoDuct improves airflow distribution, lowering pressure drop and energy consumption while supporting fiber uniformity. EvE-2 enhances monomer and hot air extraction, improving cooling consistency and enabling easier maintenance access. The process also integrates a wiping robot system, supporting consistent cleaning quality, reduced labor costs, and improved process synchronization.

In BCF yarn production, Neumag will introduce its BICO BCF technology, designed to produce yarn with increased bulk and recovery properties while reducing pile yarn consumption by approximately 20%. The company will also present FiberGuard BCF, a system that uses sensors and software to monitor yarn tension in real time. The system can adjust processes automatically and is compatible with existing BCF machines, including retrofit options for BCF S8 systems.

Neumag’s FiberGuard BCF – an intelligent system combining sensors and software – measures yarn tension between the twisting and winding stages in real time.

Additionally, Barmag will present atmos.io, a digital operating system for yarn production. The platform enables data-driven decision-making and integrates machine data across production stages. It supports material tracking, process monitoring, and system integration within existing production and IT infrastructures, with a focus on data consistency and cybersecurity standards.
