DiloGroup To Present MicroPunch At ITMA
At ITMA 2023, DiloGroup will present its “MicroPunch” on a floor space of 750 square meter. MicroPunch is a complete production line for intensive needling.
This will be the first time worldwide that an industrial MicroPunch installation will run with fibre to show the industrial exploitation of Dilo MicroPunch technology for needling fine and lightweight fleeces to be used in hygiene, medicine, apparel and other applications.
The good abrasion resistance of the intensely needled material suggests further application fields apart from medicine and hygiene, such as apparel, artificial leather, battery separators and filter media.
The production of personal care, single use wipes with a weight range between 30 and ca. 60 g/m² made of fine fibres, often with blends of polyester and viscose, has been up to now a domain of hydroentangling technology. As this product is typical disposable, it is in the focus of sustainability and recyclability. For this reason, biologically degradable fibres are a goal for more environmental sustainability.
