WebMax Web profile control technology AUTEFA Solutions WebMax produces a counter weight profile to avoid the smile effect. This is the key to product quality. WebMax ensures that the carded web weight is already being altered at the crosslapper infeed. Via the layering carriage control, the carded web is deposited on the layering belt in a way that the lapped web weight is controllably lighter in the edge areas compared to the center areas. This concave weight profile therefore compensates the weight changes due to material shrinkage and leads to the highest possible weight evenness in the final...

Crosslapping Maximum weight accuracy Weight accuracy in the bonded lapped web is the most important quality feature for a nonwoven installation. The crosslappers of the Topliner series are characterized by high infeed speeds and precise weight distribution. Crosslappers take up the carded web coming from the carding machine with constant speed and gently bring it to the delivery belt. The crosslappers Topliner increase both web homogeneity and throughput speed and thus eliminate any bottlenecks. The uniform web laydown in conjunction with the WebMax and CLOSED LOOP system helps to save fibre...

Web Drafting High infeed speeds and precise weight distribution The Web Drafter WD will be installed between the crosslapper and the first needle loom. With up to 8 drafting trios, the Web Drafter drafts the crosslapped web in material direction (MD). This results into a web optimization in regards of tensile strength and elongation. When processing lightweight products, the Web Drafter increases the web uniformity. ADVANTAGES Production increase special for lower gsm fabrics Draft and re-orientation Adjustment of MD/CD ratio
