Andritz Nonwoven will present its latest nonwovens technologies at Techtextil in Frankfurt, Germany, which begins from May 4-7, 2015 in hall 3, booth B-15.

Andritz Nonwoven provides worldwide leading turnkey and individual production solutions for spunlace, wetlaid, needlepunch, technical textiles, bonding and finishing for spunbond applications.

The latest development is an innovative system solution for textile producers that combines two Andritz all-round calender technologies; teXcal s-roll and teXcal trike.

According to an Andritz press release, customers benefit from utmost flexibility for a wide range of applications like technical textiles, outdoor wear, linings, filters, air-bag material and African damask.

Whether for automotive, geotextile, filtration, or coating substrates, Andritz provides proven hydroentanglement solutions for various technical applications.

“The hydroentanglement system, Jetlace can be integrated easily into the Andritz neXline spunlace line,” the nonwovens technology producer said.

For technical applications, this line will be configured with a crosslapper and drafter, which results in a balanced MD/CD ratio and grammage of up to 400 gsm.

“Due to the ProDyn control system, producers can save raw materials and obtain high web uniformity, while the Andritz injector water distribution and water filtration systems ensure high product quality,” it added.

With the Spunjet process, Andritz offers two unique solutions; Spunjet Bond and Spunjet Splittable.

The Spunjet Bond solution is an in-line hydroentanglement of spunlaid filament for versatile applications such as roofing, packaging, protective covering, hot gas filtration, and moulding.

To open up new business opportunities in durable fabrics like acoustic and thermal insulation, Spunjet Splittable is the right choice for splitting and hydroentanglement of spunlaid bi-component filaments.

For both light and heavy fabrics, the neXline needlepunch optimises the production rate of every individual machine all along the line.

“Such lines are designed to provide more added value, such as higher tensile strength, better MD/CD ratios, or evenness,” Andritz explained.

For heavy needlepunched fabrics from 400 to 1,800 gsm, neXline needlepunch offers a production capacity in excess of 2,200 kg/hour, with balanced tensile strength capabilities.

“Delivering equal strength performance in both directions, with excellent fabric resilience, it will generate fiber savings by further reducing the fabric’s average weight and shorten payback times,” it noted. (AR)
