Hydroentanglement is the fastest growing bonding technology in the carded nonwoven business. The global Spunlace production is estimated to reach almost two million tons by 2020 (Source: EDANA). Nonwoven fabrics consolidated with high pressure water jets offer unique characteristics like softness, contamination-free, combined with acceptable strength values. In the past years more and more new applications have been found for Spunlace fabrics. Besides the traditional market for wipes and cleaning products also technical applications are gaining of importance. Since many years AUTEFA Solutions...

Spunlace technology from bale to fabric Reduced conversion costs AUTEFA Solutions offers complete lines for the production of direct and crosslapped spunlace products. The web forming process, consisting of the unique Injection Card and Crosslapper Topliner series, is the key for high and consistent nonwoven fabric quality. With the Hydroentanglement Machine V-Jet FUTURA and the Square Drum Dryer SQ-V, AUTEFA Solutions has developed an advanced and unique technology with special focus on energy saving. This new technology offers a significant reduction of energy consumption compared to any state-of-the-art...

Injection Card Injection Card Hydroentanglement V-Jet FUTURA III Square Drum Dryer SQ-V Weight Gauge Line 1: Direct Spunlace line for low web weights and highest line speed Layermaster Card Hydroentanglement V-Jet FUTURA III Square Drum Dryer SQ-V Weight Gauge Line 2: Crosslapped Spunlace line for medium web weigths LINE 1: DIRECT SPUNLACE LINE FOR LOW WEB WEIGHTS AND HIGHEST LINE SPEED

In the Injection Card, the traditional mechanical carding principle, using workers and strippers, has been replaced by an aerodynamic concept. While its first tambour is equipped with stripper and worker rollers, the second tambour is exclusively designed for carding and therefore provided with workers only. In this highly innovative design, the fibers are injected against the following worker roller by the stream of air produced by the rotation of the main cylinder, and taken off the worker rollers by an aerodynamic effect generated by specifically shaped devices. This avoids considerable mechanical...

The tambour of the Injection CL card has a smaller diameter (1.270 mm), with 6 workers. AUTEFA Solutions high speed Webforming sub-system, consisting of Injection card CL and Crosslapper CL4006 SL supports customers to keep or extend their leadership in the highly competitive Spunlace market.

Card LayermasterExcellent quality web for the fabric top The Layermaster Card is a very reliable machine, deriving from proven and highly appreciated technologies, producing a very good quality web to be laid on the top of the fabric. This card is based on a tambour of small diameter, together with a single doffer. This carding machine is normally used as a second card in lines with crosslapper, providing a very good quality web to be laid on the top of the fabric. This card is equipped with just one doffer, not being designed to reach a high throughput: due to the Layermaster specific focus...

Crosslapper Topliner CL 4004/4006 SL High infeed speeds and precise weight distribution 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. With the Topliner CL4006 SL AUTEFA Solutions offers...

Crosslapper Topliner SL version Special features for high-production DRAFTING UNIT-INFEED The drafting unit at the infeed compresses the web and forms a counterweight profile on the delivery apron. This compensates the smile effect due to material shrinkage. Topliner crosslappers ensure weight uniformity after the bonding process. The drafting unit is part of the machines and needs no separate space. SPEED COMPENSATION BELT SC 123 The speed compensation belt SC 123 ensures a continuous and smooth transport to the following machine without any false drafts. It compensates the discontinuous speed...

The Web Drafter WD is installed after the speed compensation belt SC 123 of the Crosslapper. With up to 8 drafting trios, the Web Drafter drafts the crosslapped web in material direction (MD). This drafting work optimizes the web, resulting in better tensile strength and elongation. When processing light-weight products, the Web Drafter increases the productivity of the line. • Production increase of a nonwoven line • Higher production for lower gsm fabrics • Adjustment of MD/CD ratio • Infinitely variable adjustment of drafts • Clamping distances variable adjustable

• Number of entanglement injectors: up to 5 • Pre-wetting: Under first drum (1 injector) Double suction under outlet belt Hydroentanglement Machine V-Jet FUTURA2-Model strategy-covering the main applications of Spunlace AUTEFA Solutions offers two versions of the Hydroentanglement Machine V-Jet FUTURA. The V-Jet-FUTURA II is the base model with 2 suction drums and up to 5 injectors. The Hydroentanglement Machine V-Jet FUTURA III is the version for full flexibility with 3 suction drums and up to 8 entanglement injectors. Customers aiming for perforation and/or structuring are opting for this execution....
