Truetzschler to present sustainable solutions at INDEX

Egelsbach
(Germany)

Truetzschler
Nonwovens, Truetzschler Card Clothing and Voith will introduce new solutions
for manufacturing a broad range of sustainable nonwovens for wipes, hygiene or
medical textiles at this year’s INDEX to be held from October 19-22, 2021.
Plastic-free initiatives worldwide affect everyone: consumers, product developers,
nonwoven producers and finally nonwoven machinery suppliers.

Truetzschler
Nonwovens and Voith address the quest for more sustainable and affordable
nonwovens in the wipes segment by two proven technologies for manufacturing
pulp-based nonwovens. Firstly, WLS (Wet-Laid/Spunlaced) lines. More than a
handful are in service worldwide and mainly target the flushable wipes market.
At INDEX we’ll introduce our latest nextLevel/WLS baby and body wipes, a joint
development by Voith and Truetzschler.

The
second focus is on carded/pulp (CP) products. A CP line – including a TWF-NCT
card placed between the HydroFormer and the AquaJet is already running to full
capacity at customer site. Various CP materials, including innovative
nextLevel/CP wipes, will be on display at the booth and invite visitors to
discuss characteristics, benefits, line concepts and equipment.

When
talking sustainable nonwovens, solutions for efficiently manufacturing
biodegradable nonwovens from virgin cotton fibers, comber noils and viscose/lyocell
fibers must not be missing. Visitors can look forward to directly comparing
cotton nonwovens to a broad range of cellulose-based material.

Truetzschler
Card Clothing, our in-house competence center with respect to card clothings
and comprehensive service, presents its latest development, the Z wire for
high-speed roller cards. A new geometry minimises fiber fly and allows for
better carding and more stable web forming.
