ANDRITZ receives order for needlepunch line from Pureko

International technology Group
ANDRITZ has received an order from Pureko Sp. z o.o. to supply a needlepunch
line for their plant in Myszków, Poland. The line will process recycling fibres
from garment waste for the production of technical felts dedicated to furniture
and geotextile applications. The final products will have fabric weights
ranging from 300 to 500 gsm, and the production capacity will be up to 750
kg/h. Installation and start-up are scheduled for the third quarter of 2021.

The ANDRITZ scope of supply includes
a complete neXline needlepunch eXcelle line – from web forming to needling – as
well as engineering and ANDRITZ’s recently launched scanning gauge.

This is the second ANDRITZ line to be
supplied to Pureko, thus demonstrating the strong partnership between both
companies. Three years ago, Pureko invested in a new, modern plant supplied by ANDRITZ
Asselin-Thibeau to produce fluffy nonwovens used in the furniture, textile, and
clothing industries. The new line will enable Pureko to continue its ongoing
growth.

Founded in 2009, Pureko is one of the
most important producers of nonwovens in Poland. The company’s nonwoven
products are mainly used for wadding; they are free of chemicals, do not
involve any health hazards, and are hypoallergenic. Pureko’s products carry top
certificates such as INTERTEK, FIRA, OEKO-TEX, and the National Institute of
Hygiene.
