Hydroentangling – one of our core competencies
Entanglement by means of high-pressure water jets is by far the fastest technology for web bonding. Our solutions ensure efficient bonding of light and heavy webs made of natural fibres, synthetic fibres or spunbonds. During the process, the web can additionally be structured and/or perforated. The AquaJet is characterised by its ease of maintenance and user-friendliness, as well as extremely high product availability.
A broad range of applications
The AquaJet processes webs from different web formers:
- carded and crosslapped webs
- wet-laid web for WLS nonwovens
- spunlaid materials
The AquaJet – on the market since 1996
The machine is a modular system that is suitable for a broad range of processes and end products. In addition to the central bonding unit with two spunlace drums, the modular system encompasses three compaction systems and four dewatering systems. If the requirements concerning line speed or web weight change, the basic units can be exchanged. The AquaJet is characterised by its ease of maintenance and user-friendliness, as well as extremely high product availability.
For special applications (e.g. a working width of 5 meters or processing of wet laid webs), the AquaJet can be freely configured. The number and position of the jet heads can be selected and positioned specifically for a certain product or the respective material requirements.
AquaJet for small installations
The system is tailored to the needs of institutes and companies that conduct research and development or serve niche markets. It is characterised by lower costs for transport, assembly and commissioning, thanks to its modular design. The MiniJet can be excellently combined with Trützschler flat cards to manufacture high-quality cotton wipes.
