We source raw materials such as yarn and fiber from reputable manufacturers, both in India and abroad. Our meticulous approach considers various critical parameters including yarn tenacity, twists, filament count, CSP (cotton system of parameters), fiber length, and diameter. These parameters are carefully determined to align with the specific applications of our fabrics, ensuring optimal performance and delivering maximum value to our customers.

Below is a short description of various departments at our manufacturing facility.

  • Weaving preparatory
  • Weaving
  • Testing
  • Inspection
  • Fabirc finishing
  • Made ups

Twisting

Our yarn twisting department is equipped with advanced machinery, including a 144- spindle TFO (Two-for-One) machine and a 12- spindle drum winder. This department plays a crucial role in our manufacturing process as it is responsible for imparting twists to the flat yarns we acquire.
Twisting yarns is a critical step in the weaving process, offering several benefits. Firstly, twisting enhances the strength and durability of the yarn, resulting in a more robust and reliable final fabric product. Additionally, twisting improves the yarn's cohesion, reducing the likelihood of fraying or unraveling during weaving. It also promotes better yarn elasticity and resilience, allowing for improved weaving efficiency and performance.

Weaving preparatory

Our weaving preparatory department boasts cutting-edge technology, with a state-of-the-art sectional warping machine at its core. This advanced machine allows us to achieve exceptional precision and efficiency in preparing the yarns for weaving.

With a special 600-spools creel, each equipped with an electronic tension-controlled device, we can effortlessly handle a wide range of yarn types and diameters. From smaller diameter monofilaments to larger count multifilament and spun yarns, our creel system ensures optimal yarn handling and tension control. The warping machine is equipped with additional features such as a separate waxing device, static eliminator unit, and pressure roller system, all aimed at enhancing the quality and performance of the warping process.

Our sectional warping machine incorporates innovative drum construction, designed to withstand high crushing force. It features direct drive on both sides of the drum, ensuring optimum transmission efficiency and enabling higher beaming tension. To achieve precise and accurate warping, the machine is equipped with an online laser yarn built-up monitoring system, allowing for real-time monitoring and adjustment as needed.

In addition, all our beams used in the warping process are German-made Q4 category, renowned for their exceptional performance and durability. These beams are specifically designed to handle the highest levels of tension required in warping, making them ideal for various applications, particularly the handling of monofilaments. With these premium quality beams, we ensure optimal stability and reliability throughout the warping process, resulting in superior quality fabrics that meet the highest industry standards.

Weaving

Our weaving department is equipped with state-of-the-art Germanmade Dornier rapier machines, renowned for their exceptional performance in the production of our technical fabrics. These brand new machines provide us with a competitive advantage in weaving high cover factor fabrics and handling various types of monofilaments with ease.

One of the distinguishing features of Dornier machines is their high beat-up force, coupled with German metallurgy. This combination enables us to achieve superior weaving results, including fabrics with high compactness and low air permeability. Compared to fabrics woven on conventional weaving machines, those woven on Dornier machines exhibit outstanding quality and performance.

It's worth mentioning that all our Dornier weaving machines are brand new. We do not rely on second-hand Dornier machines dismantled from Europe, which is a common practice in the technical textiles industry to mitigate the high capital costs associated with acquiring new machines. By investing in new Dornier machines, we ensure consistent quality and reliability in our weaving processes, resulting in top-notch technical fabrics.

To further enhance our capabilities, we utilize the advanced batching system from Neuenhauser, Germany. This system allows us to produce large jointless fabric rolls, exceeding 2000 meters if required by our customers. This ensures seamless, uninterrupted production and facilitates efficient handling and logistics.

Testing

At DFR Technical Textiles, we prioritize quality and precision in every aspect of our operations, including our dedicated testing department. With our in-house testing facility, we ensure that our fabrics meet the highest standards of performance and reliability.

Air permeability is a crucial factor in many applications, and to guarantee optimal air permeability, we utilize Swiss-made AP testers from Textest, renowned for their exceptional quality and accuracy. These state-of-the-art testers are considered the best in the world, allowing us to measure and maintain the perfect air permeability of our fabrics.

In addition to air permeability, our testing facility is equipped to assess various other essential fabric properties. We have the capability to measure tensile strength, hot air shrinkage, thickness, and weight (GSM) accurately. By conducting rigorous testing using advanced equipment, we ensure that our fabrics meet or exceed the required specifications for each application.

Inspection

Our fabric inspection department plays a vital role in maintaining the impeccable quality of our fabrics. Equipped with a state-of-the-art fabric inspection cum rolling machine, we ensure that every inch of fabric is thoroughly examined for any defects, guaranteeing the highest standard of excellence.

While our fabrics woven on the high precision Dornier machines boast exceptional quality with minimal defects, our fabric inspection process provides an additional layer of assurance. Our skilled team meticulously inspects the fabric, examining it for any imperfections or irregularities. In the rare event that a defect is identified, our team promptly addresses it through careful mending, ensuring that only flawless fabrics leave our facility.

The fabric inspection cum rolling machine also serves another important purpose. It allows us to efficiently create smaller rolls from our large batched fabric rolls, which can exceed 2000 meters. By utilizing this machine, we can produce convenient 100-meter rolls that are ready for immediate use, providing practicality and ease of handling for our customers.

Fabirc processing

In our fabric processing department, we understand the significance of the calendaring process and its impact on the performance of filtration fabrics. To ensure utmost control and precision, we have installed an advanced calender machine inhouse.

Our calender machine allows us to conduct calendaring with exceptionally high pressure, ensuring precise and consistent results. This process plays a crucial role in optimizing the characteristics of our filtration fabrics. It enables us to adjust the air permeability of the fabric, ensuring the ideal balance between filtration efficiency and airflow. Additionally, calendaring helps us achieve a smooth surface texture, facilitating easy cake discharge during filtration operations.

Made ups

In our made ups department, we are committed to providing end-users with comprehensive solutions for their filtration needs. To achieve this, we have established a dedicated cutting and stitching department equipped with cutting-edge machinery and equipment.

To ensure the highest level of quality and precision in our stitching operations, we exclusively utilize JUKI stitching machines, renowned for their reliability and performance. These machines enable us to deliver durable and well-crafted filter press cloths, centrifuge cloths, belt filters, and other filtration products.

As part of our commitment to meeting our customers' specific requirements, we offer both filtration fabrics and ready-to-use filter made ups. Our state-of-the-art laser cutting machine plays a crucial role in this process. By utilizing precise CAD files, the machine accurately cuts the fabric into various sizes, eliminating any chances of manual error associated with traditional hand cutting methods. This automated process ensures consistent quality and exacting specifications for each filtration product we produce.

To further enhance our capabilities, we have invested in an automatic eyelet fixing machine from Fepatex Netherlands. This machine efficiently and accurately fixes eyelets to the filtration fabric, providing added convenience and ease of use for our customers.
