New batt forming line for Pratrivero

摘要

For the manufacture of Maliwatt products, the international technology group Andritz AG, Graz/Austria, has received an order from Pratrivero SpA to supply a new eXcelle batt forming line for their production facilities in Valdilana/Italy. The batt forming line by Andritz includes an eXcelle card and eXcelle crosslapper, a Pro-Dyn web profiling correction System as well as a scanning gauge with a closed loop. The ProDyn System combines actions from the card doffers with dynamic speed Variation at the crosslapper. This will result in fiber savings and reduction in CV%, providing im-proved weight evenness in the final product. The ProDyn closed loop will ensure a good self-regulation for the equipment. Pratrivero will be the world's first Company to use the ProDyn technology in the Maliwatt stitchbonding process. Stitchbond is a non-wovens process made by mechanically in-terlocking fiber webs with continuous fila-ments, thus imitating textiles. Stitchbonded products are used in furnishing, automotive, naval, medical, geotextiles, advertising, clothing, and packaging applications.
