Austrofil BCF® spinning lines
The byword for top quality
multifilament BCF spinning lines.
The greatest need for bulk continuous filament yarns comes from the carpet industry and a number of other niche markets, such as door and window seals. The outstanding quality of the yarns created with our high-tech spinning machines has led to us receiving a huge positive response from the market in this area. The multifilmant yarns provide impressive results in terms of tenacity, elongation, and rest shrinkage. A special feature for the carpet making process is the uniquely high crimp that can be achieved with our machines, making it possible to reduce material usage by as much as 20%. The bottom line: an investment in an SML spinning line is an investment that pays off quickly!
Line Types
The top choice for small batch sizes.
SML BCF PP monocolour compact
multifilament spinning line
This BCF line is the most efficient and cost-effective entry-level model in the world of BCF technology. Its compact design demands little floor space and is particularly suitable for small production batches.
| BCF PP 2x2C / 75 Compact, 4 ends, monocolour | |
|---|---|
| Polymer | Polypropylene, MFR 23 - 27 |
| Titer range | 1,000 - 5,000 dtex |
| Output capacity | 160 kg/h, 3.8 t/d |
The benefits at a glance
- Affordable market entry with output of 160 kg/h
- Compact multifilament spinning line for small production batches
- One extruder
- Two winders with 4 ends
Parallel production possibilities.
The SML BCF PP monocolour twin
multifilament spinning line
This BCF line is equipped with two extruders and two separate spinning heads. This makes it possible to either manufacture one product or simultaneously produce two completely different batches in a titre range of 1,200 to 5,000 dtex, combining the benefits of having two small spinning machines with those of having one large machine. And making your production even more flexible in the process. The line’s maximum output rate also clocks in at an impressive 320 kg/h.
| BCF PP 4x2 / 2x75 TWIN, 8 ends, monocolour | |
|---|---|
| Polymer | Polypropylene, MFR 23 - 27 |
| Titer range | 1,200 - 5,000 dtex |
| Output capacity | 320 kg/h, 7.6 t/d |
How you stand to benefit, at a glance
- High yarn quality fully preserved across every output dimension, thanks to the use of two extruders
- Different products can be simultaneously produced with ease
- Ideal for small and large batches alike
- Low line height
Expanding the range of possibilities.
The SML BCF PP tricolour
multifilament spinning lines
This spinning line is specifically designed for the carpet industry and offers a limitless range of colour combinations and shades, following actual design trends expanding your options in carpet design. Its performance is no less remarkable, supporting two different processing modes: mode 1, for one large tricolour or monocolour batch with 12 ends and an output of 480 kg/h; and mode 2, for the simultaneous production of three different monocolour batches with 4 ends and an output of 160 kg/h each.
| BCF PP 4x2 T / 3x75, 8 ends, tricolour | |
|---|---|
| Polymer | Polypropylene MFR 23 - 27 |
| Titer range | 1,000 - 5,000 dtex |

| BCF PP 6x2 T / 3x75, 12 ends, tricolour | |
|---|---|
| Polymer | Polypropylene MFR 23 - 27 |
| Titer range | 1,000 - 5,000 dtex |
| Output capacity - Mode 1: 1 large tricolour or monocolour batch with 12 ends | 480 kg/h |
| Output capacity - Mode 2: 3 different monocolour batches with 4 ends | 3 x 160 kg/h |
Benefits that broaden your potential
- Low line height
- Production of unique multifilament yarns to set new trends and suit the latest style developments
- SML pre-intermingling technology supports the production of differently coloured-separated tricolour yarns
- High filament counts with ideal cooling conditions
- Top-grade colour constancy, meaning colours can always be reproduced

Within our Austrofil brand portfolio, we build four different types of lines based on bulk continuous filament technology. They are the ideal way to process the most popular synthetic carpet materials of the moment, such as PP and PET. Our spinning lines can be set up with monocolour or tricolour technology, according to the yarn that is required.
