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.
130 guests from all four corners of the globe were invited to the Open House event to view a live demonstration of the first compact machine for the processing of rPET flakes Photos: BB Engineering

The live demonstration of the VarioFil R+ also included the special WINGS winding technology from Oerlikon Barmag
BB Engineerings guests were able to inspect the dope-dyed rPET fibres directly on the spinning machine
The presentation of the VarioFil R+ was preceded by various presentations detailing the challenges of processing recycled polyester fibres
