Generally, the term textile machinery is representative for machines and devices which are used in the textile industry to manufacture textile materials, fabrics and clothes. Machines for the textile production can be a dyeing machine for colouring fabric, a weaving machine for the manufacture of weaved materials or a fabric rolling machine for the final storing of fabric. Also machines for tanning leather are provided by textile machinery suppliers. Machines are also used for cutting and sewing, printing and knitting. There are special devices which free natural fibres from dirt. Spinning frames create yarns by spinning the fibers. Weaving and sewing machinery in the textile industry fulfils various tasks. There are fully automatic machine parks, but still in some traditional handicraft shops there are machines which are operated manually. Therefore, machines are able to manually as well as industrially manufacture felt, curtains, carpets or conveyor belts. To make a pullover of sheep wool, the wool yarn is processed by a knitting machine. If there are some fibers sticking out, a special cutting machine frees the woven item form the superfluous yarns. There are also special washing machines which are used between the processes of tanning or dyeing in dyeing machinery.

 

Fabric is a woven or knitted product made of textile fibres. Fabric is mostly used for manufacturing clothes. The bandwidth of fabrics and materials is almost unlimited. Fibers made of plants and animals are known as natural fibers. The most commonly used material to manufacture clothes is still sheep wool. Besides natural materials, there is also an extensive range of artificial synthetic materials, such as microfiber or nylon made of chemical fibres.

 

But textile machine suppliers not only supply the fashion industry and clothing manufacturers, but also the manufacturing industry for industrial purposes. This is an important factor for the textile machinery sector. These machines produce, for example, filters for the chemical industry.

Most of the textile machinery, which is produced in Germany, is deployed abroad. According to the German Ministry of foreign trade, China has been the biggest market for exporting German textile machinery since 2003.
