As a general contractor for complete spunlace lines, customers are given the opportunity to concentrate on product and fabric development. Thanks to the co-operation with NSC nonwoven the offer for complete systems in spunlace technology eases the investment process and lowers its risks.
The expertise of Rieter and NSC nonwoven in process technologies from opening & blending equipment, cards, crosslappers to fully automatic high speed winders and slitter-rewinders completes perfectly Rieter Perfojet's hydro-entanglement and air through dryer technologies.
For some years, the spunlace market has been oriented to the production of light weight fabrics dedicated to mass market such as wipes. These final applications for commodity products are consumer driven.
In order to respond to that trend and serve this booming market, Rieter is now offering its latest spunlace machine under the name of JETlace Essentiel.The innovative configuration enables to produce spunlace fabrics from 30 to 80gsm at the highest capacity ever reached - up to 2 700 kg/h.
This very economic technology is suitable for wipes, hygiene and medical applications made from polyester, viscose and cotton. JETlace Essentiel systems are available in predefined optimized layouts and configurations to reduce delivery time, maintenance and operating efforts.
The online combination of spunlaid and spunlace technologies called SPUNjet creates nonwovens with new characteristics. Rieter Perfojet is the only machine supplier with both technologies, offering such innovation and performance in the two fastest growing processes in the nonwoven industry: spunmelt and spunlace as system supply.
SPUNjet fabrics benefit from the unique uniformity of the spunlaid web produced with the PERFObond 3000 machine and the perfect quality of water needling from state-of-the-art injectors, thus producing a new fabric reference for the nonwoven market.
