Nuestra empresa participa en el proyecto SPORT@FUTURE – Investigación de nuevas soluciones textiles y de calzado deportivas que mejoren la Seguridad, Protección, cOnfort, Rendimiento y bienesTar del deportista del FUTURO.


Este proyecto es un proyecto de I+D consorciado en el que participan 7 empresas y tres centros tecnológicos de referencia. Este proyecto está apoyado por CDTI - Centro para el Desarrollo Tecnológico Industrial y cofinanciado por el Fondo Europeo de Desarrollo Regional (FEDER) a través del Programa Estratégico de Consorcios de Investigación Empresarial Nacional (CIEN). La fecha de inicio del proyecto fue el 1 de julio de 2014 y tiene una duración de 48 meses.

OBJETIVO

El principal objetivo de este proyecto se centra en investigar soluciones deportivas innovadoras mucho más competitivas que garanticen y mejoren la protección y seguridad, aseguren el confort, maximicen el rendimiento y prevengan las lesiones de los deportistas y cualquier persona que realiza actividad física, utilizando para ello nuevas tecnologías, procesos y materiales de última generación. Se pretende que dichas soluciones sean viables desde el punto de vista técnico, industrial y comercial, y que dispongan en definitiva de un elevado valor añadido, presentando un grado de diferenciación importante en el mercado con respecto a la competencia, que les permita posicionarse a las empresas participantes como referentes dentro del sector deporte. Es un proyecto pionero y referente en el mundo del deporte a nivel nacional, e incluso internacional.


La temática del presente proyecto se divide en cuatro grandes bloques relacionados con el objetivo principal del proyecto.

  • Investigación de soluciones para garantizar la protección y seguridad del deportista.
  • Investigación de soluciones para asegurar el confort del deportista.
  • Investigación de soluciones para maximizar el rendimiento del deportista.
  • Investigación de soluciones para aumentar la prevención y salud en el deportista.

Processes

Spinning

Compact plant equipped with cutting-edge technological facilities that focuses on the production of synthetic yarn by extrusion and spinning of polymer pellets.

  • Production of POY and FDY yarn
  • Polymers with a different % of TiO2 (from extra-bright to super-dull)
  • Different polymers: PET, PBT, PTT, PLA, and PP, etc.
  • Dpf range from 0.3 to 20
  • Solution dyed colours
  • Bi-components
  • Additives for special properties (antibacterial, flame retardant, UV protection, IR absorption, bamboo carbon, etc.)

False twist texturing

Machines equipped with ONLINE quality control system and air intermingling and automatic doffing equipment.

  • Stretch or set yarns with or without intermingling
  • Bi-component yarns
  • Special effects (linen effect, slubs, flammé, two-colour, etc.)
  • Wide range of counts and filaments
  • Metered bobbins for warp

Air texturing (Taslan)

Texturing performed with cutting-edge machinery that can be adapted to the production of small or large series of yarn.

  • Crepe yarns
  • High or low twists
  • Special effects

Elastomer intermingling

This process allows for the production of high-elasticity yarns by interlacing elastomer with textured or flat yarns.

  • Flat-elastomer yarns
  • Textured-elastomer yarns
  • Twisted flat-elastomer yarns
  • Twisted textured-elastomer yarns

Dyeing

Package dyeing plant equipped with high technology facilities, with autoclaves at temperatures of up to 140ºC.
