Trützschler Nonwovens & Man-Made Fibers, Trützschler Card Clothing and Voith Paper will present new and proven technologies for producing high-quality, differentiated nonwovens at INDEX 2014 leading nonwovens exhibition that will take place from 8-11 April in Geneva.

Trützschler Nonwovens & Man-Made Fibers presents two tailor-made, new components: the highly productive Streamliner, an air-trough dryer with highest drying performance, and the automatic surface winder BWT 203-30, especially designed for spunlacing lines.

The Streamliner drum dryer stands out due to its high evaporation capacity and a production speed of 400 m/min in hydroentangling lines. This dryer type is said to ensure a substantial increase in productivity by lowering energy consumption by up to 30% at the same time. The new, spiral design features an optimal air guidance and is of particular interest in the production of spunlaced nonwovens with a high residual water content, the company reports.

Horizontal slide winder

The product range Bastian added the new, fully automatic horizontal slide winder BWT 203-30 to the portfolio.

According to the manufacturer, this circumferentially driven winder is an energy-efficient, operator-friendly winding solution for spunlace lines with a reduced erection and start-up time.

Complete production lines

Another focus of the presentation will be on complete production lines. Voith Paper, the cooperation partner, will answer questions about wet-laid nonwoven plants for flushable wipes and other final applications.

Trützschler Card Clothing has broadened the product range of surface treated metallic wires.  Wires with code ‘B’ are now available expressly for hygienic applications for the use on cylinder, random roller and doffer.

The new doffer wire NovoDoff  with 450 ppsi is designed especially for hydroentangled light weight nonwovens and is most suitable for long-staple fibres, due to optimised transfer properties.
