The innovative Graf Hypertop flexible flats have significantly enhanced card production and efficiency at Gülle Entegre Tekstil İşletmeleri AŞ, a leading Turkish textile manufacturer with a strong international presence. Hypertop, with its Swiss engineered tooth shape, has proven to be a powerful tool to optimize fibre processing. Gülle not only improved fibre retention but also enhanced yarn quality and reduced waste across its operations. This, in turn, resulted in a more sustainable spinning process.
Yarn manufacturers face the challenge of maximizing fibre yield and ensuring consistent yarn quality while maintaining operational efficiency. Gülle aimed to increase fibre efficiency, reduce waste and maintain high yarn quality standards, without making major changes to their machinery. Graf’s Hypertop flexible flats, with their specialized multi-zone design, were the ideal solution to meet these demands, enabling Gülle to achieve up to +0.5% good fibre savings. This improvement directly translated into higher production yields and a more cost efficient process.
Gülle’s Mill Manager, Timur Atik, highlighted their benefits: “The implementation of Hypertop flexible flats has transformed our production process. We have achieved unparalleled good fibre savings while maintaining optimal, consistent yarn imperfections, and increasing efficiency. Hypertop has been a game changer for our production goals.”
Swiss engineered precision for superior results
Hypertop’s sophisticated tooth geometry, featuring its multi-zone setting pattern, enhances fibre retention and alignment during the carding process, substantially reducing fibre waste and consistently maintaining low yarn imperfections. As a result, Gülle now consistently meets the high-quality yarn standards its customers, both at home and abroad, expect. These advancements align seamlessly with Gülle’s ongoing commitment to sustainability and environmentally responsible manufacturing practices, significantly minimizing resource usage and aligning with long-term sustainability goals, including enhanced card throughput.
Accelerated return on investment
Implementing Hypertop flexible flats has resulted in accelerated payback for Gülle, thanks to substantial savings in raw materials, reduced waste and enhanced production efficiency. The ongoing fibre savings and efficiency gains deliver substantial returns, delivering solid long-term value. Moreover, Hypertop’s compatibility with all card types provides unmatched flexibility, enabling Gülle to optimize fiber retention and production efficiency.
Graf’s Hypertop solution demonstrates how innovative technology can generate significant economic benefits and enhance sustainability in spinning.
