About Temafa
Temafa Maschinenfabrik GmbH is a family-owned mechanical engineering company based in Bergisch Gladbach, founded in 1874. The company manufactures machines and complete systems for opening, cleaning and mixing of synthetic and natural fibres, including the card willow with a throughput of up to 4,000 kg/h. The product portfolio covers four fields: mixing & opening, air-engineering for exhaust air purification with high-efficiency fans (efficiency up to 85%) and process air conditioning (PAC), recycling systems for the reprocessing of trimmings from nonwoven webs (processable from 30 g to 3,000 g of area weight), as well as fibre decortication systems for natural fibres such as hemp and straw. The systems are designed modularly and equipped with weighing processes for precise fibre dosing. A technical centre serves as a testing and development facility. The majority of production is exported worldwide via a network of representatives to more than 80 countries, primarily to customers from the nonwoven and textile industries.
