Autefa Showing Innovative Solutions At ITMA
Germany based Autefa is showing innovative solutions designed to process and reuse various types of fibres, including reclaimed, natural and man-made materials at ITMA in Hall 10, Stall C201
Airlay V12/R Aerodynamic Web Forming Machine is a compact and economical machine for processing all natural fibres like coir, sisal, jute, hemp and cotton as well as animal hair/wool and textile waste.
Fed by a hopper feeder, the Airlay V12/R is capable of producing nonwovens in a weight range of 400 – 8000 gsm.
This machine replaces the physically tiring and risky manual process of inserting, exchanging and removing needles with an automated process that eliminates the risk of operator injury and minimises the risk of needle board damage.
The cooperation between Autefa Solutions and Pama Paper Machinery offers the best of two worlds, the nonwoven sector based on fibre-based web forming, consolidation and drying technology combined with the wetlaid technology commonly used in the paper industry.
According to Autefa, spunlace is the technology of choice to produce sustainable and cost-effective nonwovens from 100% cellulosic raw material such as pulp, viscose or lyocell fibres.
Autefa Solutions Wetlaid/Spunlace technology produces sustainable and biodegradable products for a world with less plastic, designed to produce a uniform pulp layer for optimal fibre distribution with the lowest fibre consumption.
