Andritz Introduces Innovations for Industrial Digitization with the Metris Brand
Andritz will be presenting its innovative nonwovens production and textile solutions at INDEX23, from April 18-21. Andritz will participate with 195 sqm at one of the biggest trade show events in nonwovens at Palexpo, Geneva, Switzerland.
Andritz’s “We Care” sustainability program combines all ESG (Environment, Social, Governance) initiatives, goals and achievements under one roof. “We Care” takes a multi-dimensional, comprehensive, and practically oriented approach towards sustainability. At INDEX, Andritz will highlight its sustainable products and solutions to produce nonwovens and will present at the EDANA Sustainability panel on April 19, 2023.
Andritz is offering different nonwoven processes for biodegradable wipes, like spunlace, Wetlace and Wetlace CP, with one goal in mind: reduction and elimination of plastic components while maintaining the high quality of the desired product properties.
Customers can conduct trials and test all options together with the Andritz experts at the technical center in Montbonnot, France. It is the first nonwovens test center for wipes worldwide with integrated pulp formation and neXecodry system.
Another strong focus will lie on the Andritz product range of complete textile recycling lines for post-consumer and industrial textile waste to produce fibers for re-spinning and/or nonwoven end-uses. Customer awareness and regulations are pushing clothing brands to recycle their textile waste in their own products. Recycled fibers can also be used in the nonwovens industry for various applications.
For instance, one highlight at INDEX will be the latest technology development in the spunlaid sector: the patented nonwovens process called Spunjet. It is the in-line hydroentanglement of continuous filaments, creating a new generation of spunlaid nonwovens with unrivalled bulkiness and softness compared to standard spunbond fabrics.
Moreover, at the fair Andritz will put the spotlight on its eXcelle adult pant converting line, which offers top-class components and an innovative technology process.
Another spotlight for INDEX fair will be digitalization. Andritz offers a broad and constantly growing range of innovative products and services in the industrial digitalization sector under the brand name Metris. The Metris all in one digitalization platform, which provides full support for industrial plants throughout their entire life cycle.
