Eruslu
Nonwovens Group (ENG) will foray into the biodegradable nonwoven market with
Truetzschler Nonwovens’ machinery. Truetzschler Nonwovens will
deliver equipment to Eruslu Nonwovens for enlarging an existing spunlacing line
into a flexible, state-of-the-art production line for various light to heavy
weight sustainable nonwovens.
Eruslu
Nonwovens Group (ENG) invested in a Truetzschler Nonwovens’ spunlacing line in
2015 with a focus on growth. The line, consisting of a single NCR random card,
AquaJet and a drum dryer had already been laid out for later extension. All
components were either fully equipped or designed to deliver higher
performances.
Last
year Eruslu decided to broaden its portfolio in the wipes segment by adding
biodegradable products from renewable resources. The group took full advantage
of the 2015 small capacity line and went for:
- A second NCR random and a NCA airlay
card - Fibre preparation and card feeding
equipment for the two new cards - More hydraulic power to reliably and
efficiently hydroentangle multi-layer webs - An extension to the dryer for
increased evaporation capacity
After
starting up in the second half of 2022, Eruslu will be operating an
ultra-modern, highly flexible NCR-NCA-NCR spunlace line, the first of its kind
in Turkey. The line is tailor-made to process virgin cotton fibers, comber
noils and short fibers at high speeds. End products would be top-quality,
lightweight natural wipes or heavy-weight, three-layer nonwovens for cosmetic
pads.
