BERGAMO - A new spunlace line for Romanian Nonwovens manufacturer Minet will be equipped with the latest Induction Humidification System from Aeris Group.
The technology from Aeris, which operates in the air-conditioning, heating and filtration markets, will ensure air quality, ambient filtration and air treatment around the new Andritz line.
The IHS system offers a number of advantages compared to the traditional humidification systems such as the elimination of possible proliferation of bacteria and mucilage, the removal of possible corrosion risks of the components and the elimination of any risk of condensation.
It also offers homogenous temperature and humidity values along the whole line and in the treated ambient area, a total recovery of all the endogenous heat produced in the room (motors, lighting, etc.); and also ensures that there are no obstacles in the room because you do not have diffusers at floor level, close by the operators and process line.
Further benefits include the possibility of introducing air at low temperature directly without condensation problems and without the creation of fastidious airflow at low temperatures. There is also a complete absence of wastewater - the air diffusion system has completely dry ducts - and fewer pipes in the production department.
Founded in 1983, Minet is a major producer of nonwovens in Romania and serves more than 1,000 customers. The company delivers about 20 million sqm of needlepunched felts per year and offers products with the highest quality standard and which are used in many different fields, such as automotive, geotextiles, and wadding.
The new neXline spunlace eXcelle line will be used for processing various fibres from 25 to 70 gsm to produce a wide range of hygiene products. The production capacity of the line, which will be the first of its kind in Romania, will be 10,000 tons a year, while the operating speed will be up to 250 m/min and the maximum output at the carding outlet around 1,500 kg/h.
Cristian Niculae, Commercial Director at Minet, said: “This new investment highlights our long-term commitment to the Romanian nonwovens market. We are going to supply our customers in the health & hygiene market with superior fabrics whose quality and characteristics will help their business grow.”
