International technology Group Andritz is set to present comprehensive nonwovens and textile production technologies at Hightex/ITM 2015, the 6th International nonwoven trade fair, in Istanbul, from September 11 to 13, 2015.

Andritz Nonwoven, comprising Andritz Asselin-Thibeau, Andritz Küsters, and Andritz Perfojet , has been active successfully on the Turkish market for many years and provides full lines and individual solutions for spunlace, wetlaid, needlepunch, bonding and finishing for spunbond applications, and textile calendars.

In the spunlace sector, whether for direct or crosslapped lines, Andritz focuses on highest performance with regard to productivity, fabric quality, process reliability, and energy consumption. For high capacities and the production of lightweight fabrics (with a minimum of 20 gms at a remarkably low MD/CD ratio), the combination of TT card and Jetlace Essenti el hydroentanglement process has been well accepted in the market.

The in-house expertise of Andritz in through-air dryer technologies and in developing high-performance systems brings new and efficient process solutions to the spunlace industry. Andritz customers now have the opportunity to reduce energy consumption in their lines consistently thanks to the new Andritz drying solution neXecodry, according to a press release.

For both light and heavy fabrics, Andritz neXline needlepunch optimizes the production rate of every individual machine along the line, providing higher tensile strength, better MD/CD ratios, or greater evenness. Delivering equal strength performance in both directions, with excellent fabric resilience, will generate fibre savings by further reducing the fabric's average weight.

Andritz is also a system supplier of complete wetlaid nonwoven lines for innovative and versatile end-uses in hygiene, medical, and technical product ranges. In particular, the Andritz WetlaceTM process sets benchmarks in the production of flushable, dispersible, and 100per cent biodegradable wipes.

In finishing of nonwovens, Andritz provides high-performance neXcal calendars for thermobonding, embossing, laminating, and calibrating. For wet finishing with functional chemicals, Andritz supplies padders and kiss roll systems with suitable dosing stations. The textile calendar product line is complemented by the high-performance teXcal trike, specially designed for technical textiles. (GK)
