Starlinger has added another loom - the RX 8.1 – to its RX circular loom series. The new machine is a circular loom, especially suited for producing lightweight fabrics for 1-loop FIBCs, tarpaulins as well as geo- and agrotextiles made of PP, HDPE, and PET. This completes the RX series and Starlinger now has the circular loom for every fabric width.
The series includes the RX 6.0, RX 6.1, and RX 8.2. The RX circular loom series is produced at the Starlinger plant in Taicang/China specifically for the Southeast Asian market. The new Starlinger circular loom RX 8.1 produces fabric with a width of 1,200 - 1,700 mm, which is an ideal match for 1-loop FIBCs, tarpaulin fabrics as well as geo- and agrotextiles. The model completes the RX series, which now covers every working width between 300 and 2,250 mm.Starlinger has added another loom - the RX 8.1 – to its RX circular loom series.

Like all models of the RX series, the RX 8.1 is equipped with numerous technological advantages. Due to its special reed and shuttle design, the machine does not have any sliding parts that would require lubrication, and thus leaves no traces of oil on the fabric. This allows for the optimal adherence of the coating to the fabric and eliminates concerns regarding the use of the fabric in food applications. Moreover, the RX 8.1 produces fabric of highest quality at lowest production cost per square metre, as the production speed of 800 picks/minute is high while the number of warp breaks is low. Other advantages are the machine's user-friendliness, the energy-saving motors as well as a low noise level.
The machine will be launched at the plastics exhibition Chinaplas in 2021, as this year's event has been cancelled due to COVID-19.
The company is offering prospective clients an opportunity to visit the Starlinger factory in Taicang for live demonstrations of the RX 8.1. The standard execution of the machine with single inlet will show the production of tarpaulin fabric with a double flat width of 1,500 mm and a weight of 70 g/m². A second machine will be equipped with double inlet and a gusseting device, which are available as options, and will produce fabric for 1-loop FIBCs with the same width, but twice the fabric weight.
Another attraction in Taicang is the RX 6.0 L. On this six-shuttle circular loom, a PE liner is inserted into the woven fabric tube and attached to the plastic fabric. This process is performed fully automatically in the production process and allows the use of the fabric in sensitive applications such as food packaging.
