Hans Joachim Zimmer

The German engineer Hans Joachim Zimmer recognized the great future of synthetic fibers before the end of the war and built his first electrically heated melt insert as early as 1949, which was used in spinning systems for polyamide fibers. First in Offenbach, he developed the first electric heater “star melters” for the new synthetic fiber industry: spinnerets replaced the previous conventional heating maintenance requirements with biphenyl melt filters. These star melters quickly became the main source of income. Hans J. Zimmer's spinnerets are exhibited today in the Deutsches Museum in Munich .
