Cavitec, a brand name of Santex AG Switzerland, will be showing its new CAVIMELT P+P streamlined machine at the upcoming ITMA 2015 international textile machinery exhibition that takes place from 12-19 November in Milan, Italy.

The machine was developed to achieve great levels of precision, production and cost effectiveness in hotmelt coating and laminating using the rotogravure system, the company reports.

CAVIMELT P+P

This compact design integrates the unwinder and rewinder in one machine frame, accepting rolls up to 600 mm in diameter and working width of 1600 – 2’400 mm.

Operating speed is up to 40 m/min and is said to allow coating weights from 3 – 80 gsm. All well known adhesives in thermoplastic and reactive hotmelts are applicable. The end use of the produced fabrics can be found in active wear, automotive interiors, home textiles, technical composites, and other markets.

The machine is delivered pre-wired, assembled and tested. The CAVIMELT P+P stands for Plug+Play, due to the short installation and commissioning time.

Cavitec

Cavitec AG was established 1996 by combining the activities of two very reputable companies: Caratsch AG and Villars AG. Santex Nonwoven was then added at the beginning of 2003.

The company develops, designs and delivers machines and processing plants for laminating, impregnating, coating, and scattering of area-measured materials (technical and textile); manufacturing of prepreg on the basis of glass fibre, carbon fibre, synthetic fibre, and their woven fabrics; and thermo fusion, heat setting, drying and finishing of nonwovens.

Santex AG

Swiss company Santex AG, established 1982, is the leading manufacturer of textile machines for knit fabrics finishing. Under the Cavitec brand the company also develops and manufactures machines for coating and laminating of technical textiles.

R&D of machines, including electronics and software, is located in Switzerland. The subsidiaries in China and India serve the most important markets in the world with Swiss engineered quality products.
