Techtextil, the international trade fair for technical textiles and nonwovens, will take place 16 – 18 June 2009 in Frankfurt. Visitors will be able to catch up on the latest developments in the Oerlikon Neumag nonwoven and staple fiber segment at booth H27, hall 3.0.

From parts, key components, individual machines up to complete lines or even to turnkey installations, Oerlikon Neumag provides the most comprehensive portfolio of products and services for the production of staple fibers and nonwovens.

One focus will be the carding technology with a series of improvements on FOR preparation and carding, Fehrer needle punching and Autefa in crosslapping for applications like geotextiles, automotive, filtration or roofing. Besides the new modular card system, lines for the production of nanofiber nonwovens for acoustic application which base on the cooperation with Elmarco, will be one of the highlights in the carding area.

The capability of Oerlikon Neumag’s spunlaid technology to produce nonwoven materials out of a wide variety of different polymers like PP, PA, PET or bicomponents, or the ability to produce microdenier filaments, offers a huge potential for a wide range of technical applications. Even the J&M meltblown technology has a worldwide good reputation for filtration materials.

Besides Nonwovens, Oerlikon Neumag presents its traditional staple fiber business with production plants for industrial applications and nonwovens. Depending on the capacities and fiber charateristics, Oerlikon Neumag offers different configurations of 1-step (continuous process) or 2-step (discontinuous) lines. One of the strengths of Oerlikon Neumag is its long-lasting experience with the development of advanced staple fibers like self-crimp, hollow, bicomponent, spiral crimp or PP high tenacity fibers.
