Hydroentanglement Technology Cooperation with SICAM

The market for medical and hygiene lightweight products is booming  and will require more hydroentangling capacity.

Dilo Group is a leading supplier of complete lines for nonwoven fabric production,  traditionally specialised in all types of needling lines for staple fibre products as well as high  speed needlelooms for spunbonds.  

Another strong pillar of our sales programme over decades has been fibre preparation and high speed web-forming equipment for other nonwoven technologies. During these years, there has been a shift to higher throughput rates, and in some cases in Asia, a requirement for improved MD/CD strength ratios of hydroentangled products. In addition, our further development of the high-speed layering principle “Hyperlayer” made considerable progress for better CD strength through a combination of inline cards and crossline card with  crosslapper. Particularly, carding machines in a working width above 3.5 m up to 5.1 m have  been supplied by DiloSpinnbau as complete high speed carding systems, comprising two or  even three cards in a line to directly feed the hydroentangling units of various suppliers.  Together with DiloTemafa not only have high throughput rates been achieved in the fibre  preparation section of the line but also dedusting filtering and air-conditioning systems have  been successfully engineered and integrated.  

Until recently, Dilo did not supply complete lines including water-jet units, ovens and end-of line equipment to the important hydroentanglement market segment. This has changed  during the summer and Dilo is glad to confirm our partnership with Sicam, Italy. Together  with Sicam, we have combined know-how for hydroentangling technology and therefore can  provide complete lines as general contractor including equipment for cutting, winding and  packaging. 

We have been recently successful with the sale of a complete line for hydroentangled  products in Portugal. The market for medical and hygiene lightweight products is booming  and will require more hydroentangling capacity. On the basis of our considerable fibre  preparation and web-forming know-how we are looking forward to a successful cooperation  with Sicam covering the market with our related activities. Please do not hesitate to contact  us for further technical details.
