Description Overview Full line modernized in 2004. Line can regularly produce needle punched nonwovens for geotextile applications from 100 g/m² up to 1500 g/m². Final line width is 6.2 m. Line can produce high tenacity nonwovens for geotextile applications. Line is currently in operation. Line Components Loading system – manufacturer: Tecnotex (Italy), year: 1974 Card w.w. 3500 mm – manufacturer: Tecnotex (Italy), year: 1974 Cross lapper w.w. 3500 mm / 6200 mm – manufacturer: Mecap (Italy), year: 2006 Pre-needling machine – manufacturer: Automatex (Italy), year: 1974 Needling machine – manufacturer: Automatex (Italy), year: 1974 Thermo fixing calender – manufacturer: Tomes (Italy), year: 1974 Cutter, accumulator and winder – manufacturer: Tomes (Italy), year: 1974 Specifications Fibre regularly used varies from a range of 1.7 dtex up to 6.7 dtex. Actual production capacity of the card is approximately 600 kg/h. Line power consumption is approximately 250 kW/h. Average carding output is approximately 520 kg/h per a wide product mix (low weight included). Net running time for such equipment is normally about 87%, hence if running the line 365 d/y the output would be about 4000 t/y. Line output depends on the running time. Fiber Specification Normally Used Denier: 4.4 dtex ±10%. Tenacity: more than 30 cN/tex. Elongation: 70% ±15. Crimp index: 3.5 N/cm ±1. Spin finish: 0.2% ±1. Cut: 76 mm ±1.
