International technology Group Andritz will supply a wetlaid line to Saint-Gobain Adfors, Czech Republic, for their Litomyšl facility for producing glass fibre mats. Start-up of the line is scheduled for mid-2021. For Saint-Gobain Adfors, this is the second production line for glass fibre mats at the Litomyšl facility. This will increase the capacity.

The Andritz neXline wetlaid line for glass fibres is designed for high production capacities and includes units for stock preparation, wetlaid forming, and binder application. With this line, Saint-Gobain will produce high-quality glass fibre mats for several markets.

The innovative Andritz manifold, diffuser and former equipment ensure highly uniform fibre distribution with optimal structures during the laying process. This results in high-quality glass fibre end products.

For Saint-Gobain Adfors, this is the second production line for glass fibre mats at the Litomyšl facility. The line will not only increase the capacity, but also supports the company’s development for more sophisticated and qualitative applications and organic growth.

“We look forward to leveraging on our long-standing experience in glass fibre mat production so as to increase our presence in new segments of the glass mat market with the new neXline wetlaid line from Andritz,” says Jérémy Poiret, general manager, Saint-Gobain Adfors Industrial Fabrics Europe.

Saint-Gobain Adfors offers technical textiles to reinforce and surface products for both construction materials and industrial applications. They provide comfort, performance and safety, while addressing the challenges of sustainable construction. (SV)
