Focus on the textile world: from ITMA review to innovation
Systematic success – perfect preparation for the weaving accessories for modern weaving mills
Groz-Beckert first entered the market segment of weaving in the year 2000, and, with the acquisition of Grob Horgen, added weaving accessories to its product range. In the years that followed, the warp tying machine systems of Knotex and Fischer-Poege, the drawing-in system of EL&M, and the cleaning systems of Spaleck Textilmaschinen were all incorporated.
Groz-Beckert as a complete supplier in the cleaning machines sector
Modern drawing-in systems and weaving machines react sensitively to even the slightest contamination of weaving-machine accessories. The cleaning systems from Groz-Beckert ensure properly purified accessories and minimize the expense and effort required for this purpose.

- The cleaning of the drop wires takes place in vibrating chambers and with special granulates.
- In addition to cleaning, an improvement in the surface is achieved.
- Up to 6,000 drop wires are cleaned per hour, depending on the degree of contamination and fineness of the drop wires.
