Spunlace Pilot Line, 500mm Working Width, 3 Jet Boxes, 150 Bar Max Pressure

Description

  1. Overview
    1. Inventory number: E-8568
    2. Spunlace pilot line
    3. Working width: 500 mm
    4. 3 head hydro-entanglement unit with pre-wet section
    5. Used until recently to compare different compositional designs and assess processability
    6. Allows production of lengths of finished nonwoven fabric for onward assessment
    7. Gives guidance as to the ultimate entangling performance of a specific fibre
    8. Concepts can be made and tested for physical performance using normal testing equipment used for full-scale production
    9. Reasonable correlation exists between the performance of the pilot hall prepared fabrics and full-scale production lines
    10. Spunlace nonwoven fabrics can be prepared by taking carded webs with pre-selected fibre blends and basis weights, which are then fed into the hydro-entanglement unit
    11. Allows production of a finished spunlace nonwoven fabric that will replicate a full-scale spunlace line
    12. Hydro-entanglement pressure can be varied up to 150 bar to give greater or lesser degrees of hydro-entanglement, creating finished webs of different strength and bulk characteristics
    13. Pilot line has similar capabilities as a full-scale line with a selection of available forming belts onto which the web is hydro-entangled
    14. Belts replicate the types of pattern and aperture designs that can be achieved on a production line, varying from a plain lacing pattern to different aperture designs and degree of openness
