- Progressive nonwoven and fiber science laboratory
Fiber Technology and Dimensional Ranges
- All types of natural, synthetic, and recycled fibers in range of 1-40 denier can be utilized
- Weight: 70 gsm – 1450 gsm
- Width: 300mm – 4.5m
- Thickness: 3mm – 200mm
Blending
- Accurate, consistent, and highly intimate blends through continuous blending + weighing technologies
- Better homogeneity and more consistent uniform fiber distribution equates to more reliable and repeatable nonwoven product performance
Web Forming
- Incomparable web quality and consistency
- Continuous and automatic optimization of MD and CD evenness
- Web density control through continuous monitoring yields accuracy of weight distribution in both directions in the final product
- State-of-the-art web formation yields optimum fiber distribution and orientation for enhanced product performance + production
Thermal Bonding
- Continuous monitoring and control of air flow and temperature for uniform and consistent web bonding
- Maximizes product consistency and internal bond strength through the cross section of the batt
- Proprietary cooling and quenching process accurately calibrates product thinkness
- Yields repeatable thickness product to product, lot to lot for consistent product quality
Winding/Slitting
- Perforating, slitting, and winding components in combination with control of tension, nip, and torque preserves the characteristics and quality of the web in the finished product
