Since its debut at ITMA Asia + CITME 2025, Barmag’s eFK EvoSmart texturing machine has quickly gained traction in the global yarn market. With 84 units already sold across China, Turkey, and Indonesia, the machine is winning favor among yarn manufacturers focused on energy-efficient, cost-effective, and high-quality production processes.

Barmag’s eFK EvoSmart combines innovative technology with practical efficiency, setting a new benchmark in yarn texturing. According to Dr. Wolfgang Ernst, Head of Sales at Barmag, “Energy efficiency and superior quality are crucial for successful yarn production. The eFK EvoSmart delivers intelligent technology and lower maintenance needs, enabling future-ready operations that optimize both performance and cost-effectiveness.”

Smart Godets – the new technology of single-converter-controlled godets optimizes the operating point of each godet, thereby significantly improving energy consumption.

The machine’s market reception highlights the growing demand among yarn producers for energy-optimized and maintenance-friendly solutions. Central to its performance is the EvoHeater heating system paired with single-converter-controlled Smart Godets, which can cut energy consumption by up to 25% per kilogram of yarn.

EvoHeater also simplifies maintenance: its closed design allows easier handling for operators, doubling the interval between maintenance cycles. The result is up to 50% lower maintenance requirements, improved plant availability, and increased overall productivity. Whether in weaving, knitting, or finishing, the eFK EvoSmart ensures consistent output and top-quality yarn for downstream processes.

Dr. Ernst adds, “The eFK EvoSmart provides yarn producers with a sustainable solution that reduces operating costs while delivering consistently high-quality results and meeting future efficiency standards.”
