BB Engineering: Sustainable performance

The textile world today just would not be the same without polyester fibres. Given that fibre production is on the rise, the exploitation of used raw materials is gaining importance. The spinning of used PET bottles is not, however, without its problems. By developing the VarioFil R+, a compact spinning machine designed for niche markets, machinery maker BB Engineering has solved many of the challenges involved in this complex process.
