ACHEMA, Frankfurt/Main, May 15 - 19, 2006, Hall 9.1, Stand F30-F31
Fleissner will exhibit newly developed machinery
for man-made fiber and nonwovens production at this international trade
fair.
Spinning machinery was
included in the delivery program
for man-made fiber production:
As a result of the Zimmer AG, Frankfurt
and Fleissner cooperation, Fleissner from now on can offer complete
staple fiber lines up to about 60 tons/day. The technology is based
on Zimmer's spinning system BN100 and the proven machinery of the Fleissner
fiber line. Both will be available for trials in our technical center
in Egelsbach, where a spinning tower was added lately.
Fleissner offers one-stop modern, tailor-made
fiber lines with small to medium capacities. Whether it's from chip,
flake, or melt, Fleissner will be your partner for the latest technologies
for PET, PP, PA, PTT and PE for:
- 2-step process (conventional spinning
and fiber line)
- 1-step process (compact spinning + fiber
line)
- bicomponent fibers
- conversion of recycled PET bottle flakes
into fiber
In addition, the complete Zimmer AG know-how
in specialty fibers (hollow, side-by-side, bicomponent, flame-retardant,
low-pilling, microfiber) is now available to Fleissner.
The experience of more than 300 supplied
staple fiber lines in combination with the latest Zimmer technology
for spinning plant and fiber processing allows Fleissner to meet every
demand.
We are inviting you to test our capabilities
and to see for yourself the progress offered by various new spinning
systems. Let us show you the exciting new developments at Fleissner.
And naturally Fleissner will continue to
supply its well-known tailor-made equipment for staple fiber draw lines.
Fleissner pilot line
The
focus in the nonwovens sector will be on the following machinery:
1. AquaJet spunlace system
for nonwovens with various working widths up to 5400mm
In the meantime, contracts for
more than 70 lines have been concluded, most of them for complete deliveries
of AquaJet, dryer and winder including process control system so that
our customers can benefit from the unique advantage of purchasing everything
from the same supplier. Naturally Fleissner as a system supplier also
supplies complete lines including web formation.
The new "LeanJet" concept for
simple applications will be presented.
The following is a list of advantages
offered to nonwovens producers when using the Fleissner AquaJet Spunlace
system:
- Jet heads:
- System self-sealing by water pressure
- Simple exchange of jet strips within
1 minute and replacement of sealing rings within few minutes
- No filter inside the jet head, thus
no maintenance required
- Jet head operates without flow turbulence,
with a uniform water supply flow for widths of up to 6 m and the
water jets are turbulence-free until they hit the fabric. This
results in minimum energy consumption and optimum bonding of the
fiber webs.
- Layout of jet heads for pressures
of up to 600 bar (for special applications like fiber splitting).
Normally, merely the low pressures required for the respective
product will be used to achieve cost-efficient production.
- Drums:
- Minimum energy loss during suction
underneath the water jets
- No marking, no pulsation
- Low weight, hence easy operation
- Exchange of drums with wire mesh covers
in max. 7 minutes
- New wire mesh covers or micro-shell
covers using the rebound effect. This results in high energy saving
of up to 50 %.
- Web compaction at the intake during pre-wetting
(patented):
- Advantage offered for higher weights
because the fiber layers are not shifted
- Advantage offered for light-weight
webs processed at high speeds because here almost no drafting
occurs and the MD/CD ratio is optimally maintained.
- Perforation, patterning:
- New developments of wire mesh covers
for drums or belts and MPS shells for drums make it possible to
offer many new web patterns to our customers.
- Dewatering before the dryer:
- Optimization of the influencing parameters
such as vacuum, number of suction slots and suction slot geometry
on the belt to achieve maximum dewatering for all fiber types
with minimum energy consumption.
- Pumps:
- Fleissner supplies high-quality piston
pumps with select materials, high efficiency and very long maintenance
intervals.
- Filtration, water circuit:
- Fleissner supplies the complete water
circuit with filtration; the filtration system will be designed
for the fibers used (PES, PA, PP, viscose, glass, pulp, flax,
microfibers) which results in minimum water and energy consumption.
- Everything from a single source:
- Fleissner supplies complete lines
(also incl. fiber recycling and web formation, if requested) from
hydroentanglement to drying and automatic winding. This results
in decisive advantages with respect to process control system,
synchronization and operation.
- Developments for the future:
- Numerous new developments with respect
to machine layout and optimization of nonwovens qualities or nonwovens
surface structures have been realized in the research and development
center in Egelsbach, both for carded webs and for spunbondeds,
for high speeds of up to 500 m/min and composites with various
web structures including pulp layers, for example 3-layer products
with pulp center layer, with Fleissner providing patent protection
for customers producing such products.
Possible fields of application for finished
products made on Fleissner nonwovens lines:
- Agrotextiles
- Transportation
- Architecture / building / construction
- Environmental: filters
- Clothing
- Packing
- Geotextiles
- Safety and protection
- Home / domestic
- Sports and leisure
- Industrial
- Wipes
- Medical / sanitary / personal care
- Composites/ laminates/ sandwich structures
2. High-capacity through-air
dryer, Omega type, for high speeds of up to 900 m/min, used both
for drying and for thermofusion of spunbonded and staple fiber web.
3. TAD heatsetting line
for geotextiles with working widths of up to 7000 mm, offering essential
advantages compared to horizontal stenters, calenders or infrared heatsetting.
4. Bonding lines for all
kinds of nonwovens with binder impregnation applied as liquid or
foam, and the newly developed HighSpeed impregnation process for unbonded
carding webs and other applications for up to 200 m/min.
AquaJet-Spunlace system and HighTech through-air
drum dryer
We look forward to seeing
you
at the Achema in Frankfurt
at the Fleissner stand (hall 9.1, stand F30-F31).
