Flexibility meets precision – The DORNIER Rapier Weaving Machine P2
At ITMA Asia + CITME 2025, we showcase with the P2 what true flexibility in weaving means. Built on the modular DORNIER system family, it allows individual configurations and adapts perfectly to the diverse requirements of technical textiles.
With the innovative DORNIER PIRO system, the rapier release can be pattern-controlled for each individual pick – enabling optimal timing even with yarns of varying fineness or elasticity. The result: less waste, shorter changeover times, and consistently high fabric quality.
“PIRO minimizes weft waste and improves reproducibility – a clear advantage for demanding technical fabrics,” says Frank Seifried, Weaving Technology at DORNIER.
The P2 proves its versatility across a wide range of applications:
🧱 Industrial filters – durability and precision in every thread
🌍 Geotextiles – strength and stability for infrastructure
⚙️ Conveyor belts – efficiency and resistance for continuous operation
🧵 Wire fabrics – accuracy and reliability for demanding processes
For 75 years, DORNIER has stood for innovation and quality “Made in Germany.”
Whether it’s ultra-fine filaments or heavy-duty technical yarns – if you can wind it on a bobbin, the P2 can weave it.
Now that’s flexibility.
