Dilo to exhibit latest nonwoven solutions at IDEA

Dilo, a supplier of complete lines for staple fibre nonwoven fabric production will be exhibiting at IDEA 2016, which will be held from May 3-5, 2016 in booth 1526 and will show its latest technologies.

“The most recent machine concepts from DiloGroup companies, DiloTemafa, DiloSpinnbau and
DiloMachines will be promoted with an emphasis on new equipment components,” it stated in a press release.

According to the company, DiloTemafa has introduced versions of the Baltromix bale opener and the card willow which are particularly suited to the processing of longer fibres at highest throughput.

“Longer cleaning intervals and shorter cleaning times also result from the design changes,” Dilo explained in the press release.

While, the Don dosing opener remains as an intermediate between fibre preparation and the card feeder and provides a fine opening stage.

DiloSpinnbau has a new 'Unifeed' card feeder which combines the principle of volumetric charged feeding with the characteristics of a chute feeder but without the conventional overhead trunk.

“The fibre flock matt is condensed by a vacuum delivery apron to give better uniformity of mass distribution,” the company added.

Additional flaps control this over the working width and the feeder can be adapted for medium or fine to coarse and medium to long staple fibres.

The newly developed card 'VectorQuadroCard' incorporates a modular transfer group between breast and main section and the quick change facility of this roller group provides different carding options.

“The delivery system is also flexible to provide parallel laid, random or condensed web and the reopener section on this card has 4 worker or stripper pairs with five pairs on the main cylinder,” Dilo noted.

Emphasis is on high throughput with good web quality with a new DLSC horizontal crosslapper version which allows electromechanical web infeed speeds up to 200 metres per minute depending on fibre specification.

“Such infeed speeds will prevent the lapper being the line bottleneck and the lapper works in conjunction with the CV1A web regulation system for improved felt evenness and fibre savings,” it said.

The very high web infeed speed has been made possible by a further increase in the drive power within the three apron layering technology, while a web guiding system can be added to avoid web wrinkles at lapper reversals.

Dilo further said that developments underway relating to the needling process include 'needle module technology' whereby needles are pre-mounted in multiple units of 22 for insertion into very high density boards.

Needle insertion and precision will be increased particularly with the possible use of robot technology.

Variopunch needling technology could employ these multi-needle modules to erase bad spots in a felt by a variable needle arrangement in order to achieve a better evenness of the stitching pattern.

When fully developed Variopunch is intended to allow a more homogeneous distribution of stitches for superior surface quality. (AR)
