International technology Group Andritz, leading supplier of plants, equipment, and services for hydropower stations, the pulp and paper industry, the metal working, and steel industries, will showcase innovative nonwovens production solutions and textile finishing technologies for the Asian markets at ANEX 2018, to be held in Tokyo, Japan during June 6-8.

As one of the world market leaders in advanced technologies for air-through bonding, needlepunch, spunjet, spunlace, thermobonding, and wetlaid, Andritz offers customised and unique solutions as well as excellent service to meet the individual requirements of its customers.

Andritz offers tailor-made solutions and technologies for nonwovens producers focusing on the hygiene market. This includes nonwovens calenders for applications in thermobonding, embossing, compacting, lamination, or perforation, Spunjet soft technology to soften the spunbond fabric, Spunlace lines for diaper back-sheets used for premium quality diapers and leg cuffs, and Air-through bonding lines for best softness in acquisition distribution layers and top-sheets.

With the Andritz flat oven, customers benefit from high production capacity and high-performance fabrics, produced with bicomponent fibres. The CETI European Institute in Lille, France, recently installed an air-through bonding oven from ANDRITZ.

ANDRITZ also leads the face mask market for skin care with its lightweight spunlace crosslapped lines for nonwovens, using such raw materials as cotton, cellulose, and blends thereof. Customers benefit from web uniformity, fabric stability, and low elongation. The skin care mask market is growing rapidly in many parts of the world, especially in Asia, but also more and more in Europe.

Wetlaid technology to reach new markets with added value.

The ANDRITZ neXline wetlaid opens the door to niche market manufacturers, offering products made from special fibres such as aramid, carbon, micro-glass, and other high-tech fibres, and is the right choice for end uses in the automotive, aerospace, agricultural, construction, medical/hygiene, and household sectors. Numerous options are available to meet individual needs.

Moreover, the Wetlace technology provides unique technology for outstanding performance in the production of flushable wipes. It combines the Andritz webforming solution with Andritz hydroentanglement units, optimising the wet strength of wipes for use and rapid disintegration when flushed.

The digital Andritz technologies combined under the Metris technology brand reflect the very latest state of the art in the IIoT/Industry 4.0 sector and provide comprehensive support to customers in achieving their production and corporate goals in terms of increasing the efficiency and profitability of plants, optimising the use of resources, avoiding breaks in production, and achieving highest product quality. The innovative Andritz digitalisation solutions also use highly user-friendly features, such as easy control via smartphone, tablet PC, or smartglasses. (SV)
