CAPABILITIES
INHOUSE PRODUCTION – FIT FOR FLEXIBLE SOLUTIONS
Capacity and flexibility
Through in house production we can offer flexibility and high capacity productions.
We master beaming, warpknitting, finishing and coating. We do it all in house, like we have done since the beginning of the late 1930s. Now we produce more than 700 000 sqm of technical textiles every week.
Production
Our ability to produce customized products.
Product flexibility
We have a range of standard products from 10 grams/sqm up to more than 1000 grams/sqm.
Volume
We offer a market flexibilty since we can manufacture products in many ways. Small or huge quantities, standard or tailor made in a variety of different machines. 24-7, at your service.
Beaming
Our in house beaming department allows us to customize the process.
To get a proper warpknitted textile in superior quality we make the warping process ourselves. We have warping machineries equipped with modern yarn guard system to prevent yarn breaks in the beams we produce. In the creels we can place up to 1210 yarn cones and use different types of yarn. We have a number of different beam sizes to meet the demands of different constructions and volumes of the textile items we produce in our plant.
Warp knitting
Warp knitting tricot machines and warp knitting with weft insertion. Both in a variety of options.
We do and prepare for a constant modernization of our machine park as we make frequent investments in new warp knitting machines. The machine types we are using is Ketten for Tricot and Raschel using the WIWK technique. (Weft Inserted Warp Knitting). Our machines are adapted for the business areas that we work with in terms of both the width of our articles and the fineness with regard to the number of needles per inch.
Coating
Engtex offers fabrics with a surface finishing according to specific needs and end uses such as chemical binders for PVC and TPO coating, other chemical binders can be used on customer requests. With controlled pick up over full width up to 450 cm and a specified drying time the adhesion level is reached, and all requirements are met including non-wicking. Combining the advantages of a weft insertion warp knitting fabric formation and a special designed finishing line, makes Engtex a strong supplier in the coating industry.

LAB
Testing and evaluation of our products is a crucial task, which we are carrying out batch wise and/or with a predefined sample frequency, to fulfill quality requirements from customers and standards. In addition to this, our product development relies significantly on the outcome of each trial, where after corrective actions can be determined, towards achieving a first-grade product. The tests are mainly performed in-house, facilitated with dedicated test equipment and know-how.
We are capable of handling the following tests in-house; household wash, anti-wicking, viscosity, surface weight, thickness, tear and tensile strength, and protection against hand-held chainsaws according to standards.
