AMEZKETA - Trützschler Nonwovens and Voith are to supply to a new line to Spain's Papel Aralar with installation scheduled for September 2020.
The PM 5 wet-laid technology, developed as a joint project by both companies specifically for the wipes sector, is capable of producing adult and baby wet wipes that are completely plastic-free, flushable and biodegradable.
As part of the package, Voith will supply the HydroFormer, which is one of the main components of the new system. The HydroFormer technology draws on Voith’s extensive experience in the paper-making and pulp industries. In this technology, the suspension is heavily diluted to produce nonwoven materials made completely of cellulose.
The Heidenheim-based firm will also supply the stock preparation system, a master reel, and the wet end process for the new system constructed in accordance with the Process Line Package (PLP). A comprehensive automation and control package is also included in the delivery.
Trützschler Nonwovens completes the production process with the proven AquaJet technology for spunlacing and a multi-drum dryer. The many years of expertise and experience of the Trützschler company form the basis of the components that have been adapted to the needs of the wet-laid process.
