Graz, December 21, 2017.

The line has a production capacity of about 1,000 kg/h and produces nonwovens made of natural fibers, glass fibers and polypropylene from 300 to 2,400 gsm for the automotive industry.

ANDRITZ has delivered the opening and blending equipment, an eXcelle card for a width of 2.5 m, and a profile crosslapper in combination with ANDRITZ technology for pre-needling and needling of heavyweight nonwovens.

This order once again demonstrates the strong and long-term partnership between ANDRITZ and Eco Technilin, which is already operating two ANDRITZ lines in France.
