ANDRITZ neXline wetlace hybrid pro: Maximize your flexibility in sustainable wipes production

neXline wetlace hybrid pro is the allrounder for wipes

The neXline wetlace hybrid pro production line unites the proven strengths of Wetlace™ and spunlace technologies to create the most versatile, future‑focused solution for sustainable wipe manufacturing. This state‑of‑the‑art line enables producers to combine multiple web structures—such as pulp layers with various nonwoven types or short fibers with long fibers - offering unmatched flexibility and performance. By investing in this advanced platform, manufacturers gain access to technology capable of producing a wide range of wipe materials while adapting seamlessly to evolving market needs and sustainability requirements.

Highest degree of flexibility

The neXline wetlace hybrid pro can be operated as a full spunlace line for classical or natural‑fiber wipes, as a Wetlace™ line for flushable wipes, or as a Wetlace hybrid pro configuration combining different nonwoven layers. This adaptability ensures that producers are fully equipped to respond to today’s demands and prepared for tomorrow’s opportunities.

The neXformer – the core of every wetlaid solution

As the central forming unit of all Wetlace™ technologies, the neXformer shapes fibers into a uniform web on an inclined wire. During this wetlaid forming step, a carefully controlled blend of natural fibers, such as wood pulp and cellulosic fibers, is deposited evenly across the wire.

This configuration ensures excellent fiber dispersion, stable water flow, and consistent sheet formation, resulting in superior web evenness and high product quality. The inclined wire design is especially effective for producing sustainable, dispersible, and biodegradable nonwovens, as it enables precise fiber distribution right from the very first forming step.

The ANDRITZ TT card – flagship performance in drylaid technology

The ANDRITZ TT card represents the highest standard in drylaid fiber processing. This card is designed to perfectly meet the expectations of wipe producers and, depending on the fiber and production conditions, can produce very high-speed webs of up to 300 m/min. It offers excellent web uniformity and a low MD:CD ratio at high speeds. Its state-of-the-art design provides quick and easy access for maintenance and service.

Engineered for the spunlace process, the TT card perfectly supports high‑speed, high‑quality wipe production – making it the ideal complement to ANDRITZ Wetlace™ hybrid pro systems.
