eXcelle batt and felt drafters
A large range of ANDRITZ batt and felt drafters ensure perfect control of the product through the process.
ANDRITZ Nonwoven offers two ranges of drafters that can be combined in a production line:
Batt drafters
They are located after the crosslapper. ANDRITZ provides models with 9 to 27 rolls and with or without integrated by-pass system.
Main benefits are:
- Fiber reorientation in machine direction (MD) to obtain a more isotropic and stronger final nonwoven fabric as well as improved dimensional stability and fiber cohesion.
- Higher production throughput thanks to enabling the use of heavier card web, especially for final lightweight nonwoven fabrics.
Â
Felt drafters
They are located between or after needlelooms. The range of drafting units includes models Zeta and ET-5.
Main benefits are:
- Fiber reorientation in the product with improvement of dimensional stability, reduction of fabric elongation
- Higher production throughput
