The international nonwovens industry meets again in Geneva, Switzerland, from March 31 to April 3, 2020 on the occasion of INDEX, the forum for the nonwovens industry. DiloGroup offers tailor-made production systems from one supplier and will inform on booth # 2010 about its portfolio and the latest equipment developments from fibre opening to the finished felt.
A new, simplified elliptical needle beam drive makes Hyperpunch technology also attractive for standard application. Hyperpunch HaV allows a more uniform stitch distribution in the preneedling process especially in combination with the new needle pattern 6000X. In a complete needling line this felt homogenization process can be improved further. The new needle pattern 8000X is a milestone in the needle pattern development process and results in endproduct surfaces with low markings over a wide range of advances/stroke.
The 3D-Lofter which was first presented during ITMA 2019 in Barcelona offers a wider range of nonwovens applications by exploring the third dimension. A series of single web forming units which work according to the aerodynamic web forming principle deliver defined fibre masses in varied patterns on a base needlefelt. A stress oriented production of technical formed parts resulting in fibre savings or patterned DI-LOUR or DI-LOOP felts without repeat are two examples for this technology which explores new application areas for needlefelts.
The 3D-Lofter technology may also be used “inverted†for filling up bad spots in web mats and thus achieves a better homogeneity of spunlace or airlay products. The DiloLine 4.0 concept offer I4.0 modules which not only support the user but also facilitate quality control and maintenance by a maximum data transparency in production and control of operation. The Dilo solutions “Smart Start†for a fully automatic start of the production line or “DI-LOWATT†for energy savings are accompanied by Siemens solutions which can be selected via App or Data Cloud “MindSphereâ€Â.
With more than 370 installations delivered to the nonwovens industry worldwide, DiloGroup has the necessary know-how and the complete equipment portfolio to engineer the perfect production line for any product specification. The efficiency of Dilo production lines is the result of long-term research work and experience.
Apart from machines for needling technology we offer in cooperation with partner companies also production lines including thermobonding and hydroentangling components.
