Pegas Nonwovens has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the supplier of production technology Reifenhäuser Reicofil, for the delivery of a semi-commercial production line RF5 Bico FHL R&D 2F for the plant in Znojmo-Prímetice in the Czech Republic. The annual production capacity of the line will depend on the used input raw materials.

The produced products at the production line will be in the range from eight to 15 thousand tonnes.

The final contract for the delivery of the production line is expected to be concluded by the end of 2017. The production line should be put into commercial operation during the third quarter of 2019.

"By signing this memorandum, we have reached an important milestone of the project that we have worked on intensively with Reicofil for the last two years with the objective of developing a new type of technology. This new technology is based on the Reicofil 5 platform and the "no-basement" concept. It utilises proven bicomponent technologies, offers a wide range of fibre types and fibre profiles, whilst enabling the use of input raw materials different to those that we currently process,” said František Rezác, CEO and member of the board of Pegas Nonwovens.

“A significant element of this technology is also the nonwoven textile bonding system, which is an alternative to the presently used conventional systems. Due to its development potential, I consider this semi-commercial technology to be the fundamental building block for our newly built global innovation centre. I place great expectations into this innovation centre and believe that it will help us to achieve significant successes in research, testing and subsequent commercialisation of new products with applications for current as well as new markets," Rezác added.
