Andritz has received a repeat order from Chinese textile company, Zhejiang Saintyear Textile, to supply a second, complete neXline, high-speed spunlace line for the production of premium-quality nonwoven roll goods. The line is scheduled for start-up during the third quarter of 2022. Andritz, headquartered in Austria, is a leading plant engineering group.

No later than nine months after placing a first order for a complete high-speed spunlace line, Zhejiang Saintyear Textile has decided to rely on Andritz once again by purchasing another complete line dedicated to the production of first-class wipes. The production capacity will be up to 2,800 kg/h for lightweight fabrics, according to a media statement by Andritz.

Andritz will provide a full line with state-of-the-art equipment, from web forming to drying. The scope of supply includes the precise opening and blending machinery from Laroche, newly acquired by Andritz, two inline TT cards, a proven JetlaceEssentiel unit for hydroentanglement, and the efficient neXdry through-air dryer, according to Andritz.

“Spunlace nonwovens are definitely a must nowadays due to their versatility, and we want to offer our customers the best-quality nonwovens. Hence, we had to go for the benchmarking company in the production of premium roll goods. This is why we have decided to rely on an Andritz nonwovens system offering the best performance and runnability. We have already purchased one complete spunlace line recently from Andritz that will go into operation in mid-2022. Project execution is running so smoothly so far that we did not hesitate to renew our trust by ordering a second line,” Li Yi Ming, CEO of Zhejiang Saintyear said.
