GRAZ - International technology group Andritz will be presenting its latest solutions for nonwovens production and textile manufacturing at Inlegmash 2022 in Moscow, Russia, which takes place from March 14 to 17 (booth 21F30).
Andritz notes that protecting the environment and conserving natural resources require new technologies. In the textile-related industries, the current challenge is to develop industrially and economically viable solutions to use eco-friendly fibres in nonwovens. In this sector, Andritz is focusing on the airlay nonwoven application for hemp fibers (used in mattress production, insulation) and also geotextile end uses.
Andritz Laroche is a leading supplier of fibre processing technologies such as opening, blending, and dosing, airlay web forming, textile waste recycling, and decortication of bast fibers.
One focus of this product range lies on complete recycling lines for post-consumer and industrial textile waste to produce fibres for re-spinning and/or nonwoven end uses. At the show, Andritz will present recycling technologies for end-of-life textile products that can be used in multiple applications, such as automotive, insulation, mattresses, and furniture felts.
Customer awareness and regulations are pushing apparel brands to recycle their textile waste and use the recycled textile fibers in their own products. To support Andritz customers, a team with a high level of knowledge of the process is available to conduct customized trials at the company’s advanced technical center located at the Andritz Laroche facilities in Cours, France.
For the demanding Russian market for technologies based on bast fibres, Andritz will also present innovative products and the valorization of bast fibres, and with hemp in particular.
As a major player in the textile waste recycling sector Andritz Laroche offers airlay nonwoven technologies as well as bast fibre decortication and cottonizing lines. These eco-friendly fibers are used to spin yarn mixed with cotton, saving cotton as raw material, which reduces the consumption of water, pesticides applied in its cultivation and chemicals used during the dyeing and finishing processes.
