From 1999, Rieter has been developing an innovative spunbond system, called PERFObond 3000. It produces the most uniform fabric of the market for high quality nonwovens products. The flexibility of the line allows to create finished fabric weights with a weight between 10 and 150gsm for all range of applications and at the highest productive rate of the market -up to 300 kg/h/m of beam.

The PERFObond 3000 single beam lines are able to generate low weight fabrics that are qualified for the hygiene market. This achievement has been made possible by the basic principles of PERFObond 3000: process and environment stability, correct process parameter control and key components of high quality level.

The main advantages of the Rieter spunbond systems are:
• Isotropic MD:CD ratio
• Excellent product uniformity
• Process stability
• High capacity: 5000T/year/beam
• Energy consumption: <1kwh/kg

To complete its spunmelt product range, Rieter launched its own meltblown system, called EMBLO. Due to its unique design, which reduces cleaning time and installation cost, it offers to the nonwovens industry cost savings as well as quality benefits.

Rieter has acquired meltblown experience through the installation of several industrial lines. Therefore, the combination of Rieter know-how and Rieter innovation gave birth to a new generation of Rieter meltblown system.

This latest development is designed based on customer specifictions to produce monolithic as well as layered fabrics starting at 1gsm and 1µm fibers. This cutting edge technology is characterized by extraordinarily narrow basis weight and filament size distributions, providing a highly homogeneous web structure even at high specific throughputs.

Furthermore this new Rieter meltblown system can be perfectly integrated in line with the innovative spunbond towers, PERFObond 3000, to produce SMS webs. The combination of these two technologies will enable the production of spunmelt nonwovens dedicated to hygiene, filtration and medical markets.

Today, with more than 150 spunlace lines in operation, Rieter Perfojet is the unrivalled leader in spunlace system. The Rieter JETlace 3000 technology produces state-of-the-art spunlace fabrics with high productivity, highest reliability at lowest manufacturing costs. This state-of-the-art machine is designed to produce all kind of spunlace fabrics from 30 to 500gsm using all types of synthetic and natural fibers.
