NEW TEXCAL RACONIP TT SETS STANDARDS IN TEXTILE CALENDERING
The long tradition of excellent calender technology for the textile industry is now continued with the teXcal Raconip TT calender. The teXcal Raconip TT mainly targets customers experienced in the manufacture of technical textiles with highest quality standards, for example, sports and work wear, sailcloth, parachute fabrics, or packaging materials.
The teXcal Raconip TT offers the operator a number of features that are useful during operation.
For example, user-friendly access to all relevant areas of the calender, excellent data management for the calender process and product quality in real time, and extended maintenance intervals.
Overall, Andritz has focused on versatility and flexibility in development of the new textile calender – properties that should make this equipment more competitive. In addition, the calender contains an innovative, deflection-controlled roll, the Raconip TT. It offers highest flexibility by providing unrestricted profiling over the entire fabric width by means of hydrostatic pistons.
This ensures top quality, such as absolute flatness and spot-on air permeability. The new calender has been developed in cooperation with Rolf Ramisch, a well-known specialist in textile calender technology.
NEW WETLAID MASTERPIECE FOR GLASSFIBER MATERIALS
Andritz will introduce visitors to the processing of glass fibers with wetlaid technology. Nonwoven end products based on glass fibers can be found almost everywhere: in ceiling tiles, cushion vinyl flooring, insulation, wallpaper and surfaces, geotextiles, batteries, roofing materials, as well as other applications.
Glass fiber as a basic component is an excellent composite material and offers numerous advantages that lend the resulting products unique properties. And because of its wide range of applications, products made of glass fiber material have a strong, growing market. The manufacture of products based on glass fibers requires particularly gentle treatment in the stock preparation and laying processes. Andritz meets these requirements perfectly. At Techtextil, Andritz Wetlaid experts will present details of this new configuration to interested visitors for the first time.
NEEDLELOOMING AS AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF YOUR NEEDLEPUNCH LINE
