BIOGEARS first filaments tested at pilot scale for production of biodegradable ropes
Published 04/06/2020
The first objective of this pilot scale trial has been to assess the technical feasibility of this first batch, in terms of type of yarn and fulfilment of the mechanical specifications required at the grouping/twisting step of the production of ropes.
A first 10 Kg batch of biodegradables multifilaments produced by CENTEXBEL has been tested at ITSASKORDA facilities. The first objective of this pilot scale trial has been to assess the technical feasibility of this first batch, in terms of type of yarn and fulfilment of the mechanical specifications required at the grouping/twisting step of the production of ropes. During the trial, bobbins contained the biodegradable multifilament where combined with black bobbins containing conventional fossil-based filaments, using current production parameters.
Researchers of GAIKER, ITSAKORDA and AZTI were present during this successful trial.
