AUTEFA & CAMPEN partnership on airlaids

AUTEFA Solutions and CAMPEN Machinery A/S have made a partnership and offer machinery for airlaids and spunlaced airlaid products.

In March 2016, AUTEFA Solutions and CAMPEN Machinery A/S have made an agreement to cooperate in the development and sales of machinery and production lines for the traditional airlaid industry as well as for the new “Hydro Laced Airlaid Process” (HLAL) for non-flushable and flushable, dispersible, and biodegradable nonwovens, invented by CAMPEN Machinery A/S Denmark.

André Imhof, CEO AUTEFA Solutions Austria GmbH and Arne Christensen, CEO CAMPEN Machinery A/S explain: “With our two companies we are building a strong partnership. Each of our companies has developed new and energy-saving technology. Together we offer complete lines to produce flushable wipes. With our combined portfolios, we offer advanced production technology, starting from raw material to the final nonwovens products.” AUTEFA Solutions offers spunlace, drying and powder scattering technology as well as carding and card feeding technology. For the spunlace process AUTEFA Solutions has developed a new hydroentanglement jet.

This technology enables 30 per cent energy savings due to the special jet design.

A new Square Drum Dryer SQ-V completes the line.
