International technology Group Andritz will be presenting its individual production solutions for spunlace, wetlaid, needlepunch, technical textiles, bonding and finishing for spunbond applications. The latest development is a system solution, that combines two calender technologies, teXcal s-roll and teXcal trike. Thus, customers benefit from high flexibility and quality in textile finishing for a wide range of applications.

The Andritz hydroentanglement system Jetlace can be integrated easily into the Andritz neXline spunlace line. 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. Thanks to the ProDyn control system, nonwovens raw materials can be saved and high web uniformity obtained while the Andritz injector water distribution and water filtration systems ensure high product quality.

With the Spunjet process, the company offers two unique solutions: Spunjet Bond, in-line hydroentanglement of spunlaid filament, is a solution for versatile applications such as roofing, packaging, protective covering, hot gas filtration, and moulding. To open up new business opportunities in durable fabrics (acoustic and thermal insulation) customers can choose the Spunjet Splittable, which is for splitting and hydroentanglement of spunlaid bi-component filaments.

For both light and heavy fabrics, Andritz neXline needlepunch optimises the production rate of every individual machine all along the line. For heavy needlepunched fabrics from 400 to 1,800 gsm, Andritz neXline needlepunch offers e.g. a production capacity in excess of 2,200 kg/hour, with balanced tensile strength capabilities, for example to geotextile.
