Wagenfelder Spinnereien GmbH
Wagenfelder Spinnereien GmbH is a leading spinning company in Germany. With its state-of-the-art machinery, the company can produce yarns with a wide range of structures and properties from a wide variety of processed materials for a broad range of applications, especially for specialized needs. The processing of high-performance fiber materials is also part of its scope of work. The company's versatile machinery and various spinning systems, which allow for the realization of various yarn characteristics, are major advantages. In the area of new fiber materials, Wagenfelder Spinnereien GmbH is already strong in the processing of recycled carbon fibers. Glass and copper yarns are also standard components. In addition to pure fiber yarns, it is also possible to cover filaments or wrap fiber yarns with filaments. Various twisting systems allow for a wide variety of twist combinations

Materials
In the area of staple fiber spinning, the company can produce various yarns using different processes: carded, open-end, airjet, semi-worsted, core- spun, fulled, textured, and twisted. Natural fibers such as wool, cotton, linen, hemp, ramie, silk, etc., and synthetic fibers such as viscose, polyamide, polyester, acrylic, meta- and para-aramid, PPS, carbon, copper, steel, and many more are processed. Multi-component blends are standard. The gauge range extends from 0.5 Nm to 80 Nm. Dyeing for yarn, tufts, and hanks rounds out the spinning program. The company is certified according to ISO 9001, 14001, and 50001. In recent years, yarns have been developed for use in the composite sector. This has been achieved for both hemp fibers and recycled carbon fibers. Yarns for both thermoplastic and thermoset applications could be produced.

Our use cases
Involvement of company Wagenfelder in public funded project 3DProCar: The BMBF-funded research project 3DProCar developed novel hybrid yarns as key technology for thermoplastic fiber-reinforced composites in electromobility. The hybrid yarns formed the core element of a fully automated, flexible process chain for manufacturing FRP components with complex geometry. Through interdisciplinary collaboration between industry and research, the hybrid yarns were used for textile development of requirement-specific, hybrid and integrally manufactured 2D and 3D reinforcement structures. These reinforcement structures were subsequently consolidated into finished components in a thermopress. The project's solution hypothesis aimed to significantly reduce manufacturing times and costs for thermoplastic FRP components through processing integral, woven reinforcement structures from the novel hybrid yarns. All manufacturing processes and process steps were modeled and comprehensively simulated. Practical implementation was carried out using a process chain for manufacturing a car door as a demonstrator, thereby proving the applicability of hybrid yarn technology in the automotive industry
