Oerlikon Nonwoven makes successful appearance at SINCE

Overall, the nonwoven fabric team of the Oerlikon Group drew a very positive conclusion and looks back with satisfaction on the intensive and good quality discussions as well as numerous concrete inquiries from customers and prospective customers.

"The many discussions showed that we are on the right track with our strategy and the further development of our technologies with regard to nonwovens. Visitors were impressed by our technology solutions for disposable nonwoven fabrics or geotextiles," said Dr. Ingo Mählmann, head of sales and marketing of Oerlikon Nonwoven.

In the field of spunbond technology, Oerlikon Nonwoven is already very broadly positioned. The production process for geotextiles made from polyester or polypropylene has been optimised. It is characterised by high production capacities and yields combined with low energy consumption. For the production of hygiene nonwoven fabrics, Oerlikon Nonwoven offers its new QRS plant (Quality Sized Right). The webforming part of this plant is provided by Oerlikon's Chinese engineering partner and integrated into the overall plant. The advantage for the nonwoven fabric producer are competitive solutions at an attractive price level with comparatively low investments.

With Oerlikon Nonwoven's optimised meltblown technology the production of new, unique and highly sophisticated filter media is made easy. Whether used as a stand-alone mono or bi-component plant, ‘plug & produce’ installations in existing plants or in combination with other technologies: Oerlikon Nonwoven's meltblown process enables the cost-efficient production of meltblown nonwoven fabrics with tomorrow's quality requirements. More and more producers are opting for Oerlikon Nonwoven's meltblown solutions, which have proven their worth many times over and are subject to constant further development.

The production of high-quality, lightweight airlaid nonwoven fabrics at economically attractive production speeds and plant throughputs is very much in demand today. In this area, Oerlikon Nonwoven has set new standards with its patented forming process characterised by homogeneous mixing of a wide range of raw materials while simultaneously achieving high uniformity and homogeneous fibre deposition even with very thin nonwoven fabrics. The advantages of this technology is becoming increasingly important for sustainable applications in the recycling sector: Oerlikon Nonwoven successfully commissioned two airlaid recycling plants this year alone.

Oerlikon develops modern materials, systems and surface technologies and provides specialised services aimed at securing high-performance products and systems with long lifespans for customers.

With its Oerlikon Barmag, Oerlikon Neumag and Oerlikon Nonwoven brands, Oerlikon Manmade Fibers segment is the world market leader for manmade fibre filament spinning systems, texturing machines, BCF systems, staple fibre systems, solutions for the production of nonwovens and as a service provider – offers engineering solutions for the entire textile value added chain.
