Oerlikon will present its nonwoven plant portfolio for the production of airlaid, meltblown, spunbonded, and hybrid materials at IDEA in stand 1724. The premiere event for nonwovens and engineered fabrics will be held from March 25-28, 2019, in Miami. The focus of its presentation will be on solutions for hygiene, medical, and other disposable nonwovens.

As early as spring 2017, Oerlikon Manmade Fibers’ nonwoven business unit had entered into a strategic partnership with the Italian company, Teknoweb Materials. Teknoweb Materials is an established technology supplier in the field of wipes and other disposable nonwovens. With its Levra technology, the company has its own patented, particularly efficient manufacturing process for wipes. It also has extensive process know-how on the making and further processing of these nonwoven materials. The nonwoven business unit of Oerlikon’s Manmade Fibers segment completes this partnership with its well-established machine and plant solutions. Teknoweb Materials will also be represented at IDEA at the Oerlikon exhibition stand, the company said in a media statement.

For spunmelt systems solutions for hygiene and medical applications, Oerlikon has been in cooperation with the Chinese machine and plant manufacturer, Shaoyang Textile Machinery. The goal of these cooperation partners is to advance the international marketing of spunmelt plants outside of China. Oerlikon Manmade Fibers’ nonwoven business unit contributes its plant engineering know-how and is responsible for product and process guarantees. Oerlikon also assumes the overall project responsibility as well as world-wide customer service outside of China. In return, Shaoyang, with its headquarters in the city of the same name in the Hunan province, supplies the plant technologies. The advantage for the customer is competitive solutions at an attractive price level with comparatively low investments. (GK)
