Germany based full line supplier of needlepunch nonwoven lines Autefa Solutions is participating at IDEA trade show which begins May 2, 2016 in booth no. 1837.

“Autefa Solutions’ needlepunch lines meet customers’ requirements for quality web formation, bonding, active weight regulation, and minimal maintenance requirements,” a press release said.

Among products on display is the Automatic Needle Exchanger 2.0, which enables a fully automatic process of needle rotation and exchange without manual intervention.

According to Autefa, the machine exchanges single, all, or user defined segments of needles, while offering an unprecedented level of needle management.

The machine fits into every service workshop and increases efficiency and economics and works at an operating speed of up to 1,500 needles per hour and has a needle magazine for more than 10,000 needles.

While, the nonwoven card web master Futura offers best access for cleaning and maintenance with a vision to improve maintenance, and so the company has completely reworked the easy opening system.

“The system is placed on high precision linear bearings, so after closing, all rollers are exactly in the same position like before,” Autefa explained in the press release.

The different parts of the card like first main cylinder, transfer group and doffers, are each placed on a separate carriage.

“The carriages are connected to each other by one screw on each side forming a ‘train’ allowing easy and full access for cleaning and maintenance,” the company added.

Autefa Solutions was formed by uniting four companies, namely, Autefa, Fehrer, F.O.R and Strahm.

The product range includes fibre preparation machines, nonwovens cards as well as aerodynamic web forming machines (Airlay), crosslappers and needle looms for mechanical bonding.

Autefa Solutions is an international machine manufacturing group with locations in Europe, USA and China and is a part of China Hi-Tech Group Corporation (CHTC).
