Autefa Solutions, Germany’s leading textile machinery company known for the development, engineering, and manufacturing of industrial logistics and automation solutions, is set to present its latest range of nonwoven solutions at INDEX 2017, the world’s leading nonwovens exhibition, to be held in Geneva, Switzerland, from April 4 to 7, 2017.

The company is showing the Autefa Solutions V-Jet, a new hydroentanglement system which saves up to 30 per cent of the hydraulic energy required for the Spunlace process. The patented jet-strip design enables a pressure reduction while keeping the product quality constant in comparison to a standard jet-strip. The Spunlace process is optimised with the Square Drum Dryer SQ-V, which has significantly better energy efficiency and drying performance than a common Drum Dryer – at the same footprint.

The Crosslapper Topliner CL 4004 SL is characterised by a high infeed speed of up to 130 m/min and a precise weight distribution. These advantages are very important especially for lightweight applications in spunlace lines. The lapping of the web layers is continuously monitored, which minimises rejects and saves material.

There is also a growing interest in high speed through air thermobonding lines for hygiene products such as acquisition and distribution layers (ADL). These materials are used in baby diapers, sanitary napkins and adult incontinence products. The key strengths of the Autefa Solutions belt dryers are uniform airflow and the precisely adjustable temperature distribution, the ability to maintain loft or to create high densities.

For the needle nonwovens process, Autefa Solutions will present the Needle Loom Fehrer Stylus ONE, a machine for all needling applications. StylusONE covers the needs of the market for a reliable and economic machine. With a performance of max 1200 strokes/min the Needle Loom StylusONE distinguishes itself through productivity, guaranteed longevity, and maintenance free gear boxes.

Autefa Solutions delivers turn-key lines as well as individual machines for nonwovens manufacturing. Application fields are the production of artificial leather, filter products as well as paper-machine felts, automotive felts, geotextiles, floor coverings, felts for insulation and nonwovens for the hygiene industry.

The product range includes fibre preparation machines, nonwovens cards, aerodynamic web forming machines (Airlay), crosslappers and needle looms. The product range additionally includes equipment for thermobonding, drying as well as cutting-, winding- and festooning- technology. (GK)
