Akinal Sentetik Tekstil, the leading Turkish nonwovens producer starts up neXline wetlace line with Andritz Nonwoven, part of international technology Group Andritz.
The Andritz neXline wetlace is designed for high production capacities of up to 15,000 tonnes per year and integrates stock preparation, wet forming, hydroentanglement, and drying. The Andritz Wetlace technology is said to fulfil the highest environmental standards for the end products and produces certified nonwovens quality according to the latest EDANA/INDA guidelines for flushable wipes.
The highly flexible Andritz Wetlace technology, which combines wet forming and hydroentanglement, is especially suited for the production of flushable wipes that are dispersible and 100% biodegradable without any chemical binders, the company explained.
Akinal Sentetik Tekstil is about to launch a new generation of flushable fabrics named BioFlush, which are dispersible and biodegradable, and is thus accessing new markets.
This successful start-up confirms Andritz Nonwoven’s position as one of the global market leaders for the supply of complete nonwovens lines, key components, and services.
