In September 2005, NSC nonwoven and Rieter Perfojet announced the start of their co-operation to join forces in combining their competences and technologies to offer turnkey solutions to nonwovens producers.

Both partners are in a position to supply together complete systems covering almost 90 percent of the nonwoven applications on the market.

One outcome of this co-operation is the completion of the pilot line of Rieter in Montbonnot with the Thibeau Excelle card from NSC nonwoven.

Pilot line for a wide range of applications under industrial conditions.

This line offers the same performances than industrial lines do. Opening and blending is possible for any type of fibres: either natural, synthetic or blends can be processed.

The on-line card allows to demonstrate nonwoven fabrics from 10 to 150gsm . The fabric weight can exceed 150gsm in other configurations. Maximum winder speed with this card is up to 250m/min .In combination with another process, such as spunmelt, the line speed can reach 600m/min .

Decisive elements for high flexibility
The three major elements of the new complete pilot line are the Excelle card, the JETlace 3000 hydro-entanglement system and the PERFOdry 3000 air-through dryer.

The Thibeau Excelle card is designed for a wide range of products with an output capacity over 450kg/hr/m , a consistent web quality at high production level and a high productivity with minimum downtime andease of maintenance.
