Rieter Systems for the nonwoven industry
Today, Rieter Perfojet is recognized as a systems supplier, and offers complete
solutions for nonwoven lines. With more than 125 spunlace lines successfully
running, Rieter confirms its position as the world leader in spunlace machinery.
Rieter has introduced its Perfobond 3000 machine to produce spunbond fabrics
from polypropylene and polyester raw materials. This new development offers
unique innovations with high output, superior web forming, and is now available
on full scale in its technical center in Montbonnot, France, since mid 2004.
The last development launched by Rieter, called Spunjet enables the creation
of revolutionary nonwovens fabrics with totally new and higher characteristics
(softness, drape, strength, MD/CD ratios). The Spunjet technology combines spunlaid
and direct hydroentanglement of filaments. Rieter is the only supplier offering
such level of innovation and performance between the two fastest growing processes
in the nonwoven industry: Spunmelt and spunlace.
Thanks to this development, Rieter has opened up new markets for diapers, softer
coverstocks or textile backsheets, for filtration, wiping or geotextiles with
enhanced strength characteristics. Top worldwide producers have already invested
their trust in Rieter and commissioned Spunjet to benefit of the full synergy
of such systems, cheap raw materials and superior nonwovens.
Rieter has also launched a new meltblown system, call EMBLO. Through an innovative
design (e g minimum downtime during pack change because of toploading, best
web weight homogeneity because of segmented melt distribution), this new development
enables the user to produce meltblown nonwovens with optimal web properties
for hygiene, filtration and absorber applications. EMBLO can be integrated into
Rieter Perfojet spunbond lines for SMS/SMMS configuration lines. The EMBLO system
is available for trial use at Rieter Automatiks technical centre, located
in Grossostheim, Germany.
