FET to highlight sustainable manufacturing practices at Techtextil

Fibre Extrusion Technology (FET) will be exhibiting at this year’s Techtextil Frankurt in three months’ time.

Techtextil attracts international blue-chip companies at the cutting edge of technology, seeking innovative solutions to technical challenges, so this event represents an ideal opportunity to demonstrate how FET can help achieve their goals.

FET is a laboratory and pilot meltspinning equipment specialist for a range of applications, such as precursor materials used in high value technical textiles, sportswear, medical devices, and specialised novel fibres from exotic and difficult to process polymers. Where melt spinning solutions are not suitable, FET provides a viable alternative with pilot and small-scale production wet spinning systems.

FET will also showcase at Techtextil its more recent laboratory scale spunbond system, which enables client development of nonwoven fabrics in several formats and polymers. FET already has several spunbond systems in the field, including composite systems which utilise both spunbond and meltspun functions.

A major theme to be highlighted on the FET stand is sustainability. The FET range of laboratory and pilot extrusion lines is ideally suited for both process and product development of sustainable materials.

FET has processed almost 30 different polymer types in multifilament, monofilament, and non-woven formats, collaborating with specialist companies to promote greater sustainability through manufacturing processes.
