This new machine sets unrivalled standards in speed, productivity, and quality, overcoming traditional limitations. Its unique “X-path” design ensures precise fiber control, eliminating distortion and enabling flawless overlap regardless of web characteristics. The system maximizes throughput and fabric homogeneity while maintaining superior quality. Additionally, it is fully compatible with Andritz’s ProWin profile correction system, enhancing performance and efficiency to unprecedented levels.
In the area of durable nonwovens, Andritz is pleased to present the new neXloom needleloom, specifically designed to meet the demands of medium-range production capacities across key markets such as synthetic leather, filtration, and automotive applications. Engineered for robust performance and cost efficiency, the neXloom combines the renowned Andritz quality with features that reduce operational and maintenance costs. The machine supports a random needle pattern for enhanced product characteristics and offers optional systems including automatic greasing and cooling, further improving reliability and ease of use.

Andrıtz teXscan
Premiere at ITMA Asia 2025: Andritz teXscan for predictive textile analysis to determine whether the material is suitable for re-spinning or nonwoven further processing. this new technology raises the productivity of textile recycling.
Andritz highlights its technologies for processing bast fibers, which are gaining importance across industries such as automotive, insulation, geotextiles, construction, and textiles. Known for their low environmental impact and local sourcing potential, bast fibers support circular and zero-waste production models. One major trend is the use of industrial hemp in airlay applications. Andritz offers complete lines combining decortication and refining equipment with neXline airlay systems. These lines are designed for gentle fiber processing, compact layout, and low energy consumption, delivering high-quality fibers suitable for a wide range of applications.
Moreover, Andritz offers a multi-technology, one-stop-shop approach for bio-based textile fiber production. This includes automated sorting, mechanical and chemical recycling, and decortication lines for flax, jute, hemp, and kenaf. By uniquely combining these technologies, Andritz supports the rising demand for sustainable products and empowers companies to achieve long-term economic success in a dynamic market. These solutions open up new opportunities in both spinning and nonwoven markets, enabling the creation of value-driven, innovative products.
The entire Andritz Nonwoven & Textile team is looking forward to welcoming customers and partners at booth D106 in hall 2.
