AUTEFA Solutions Airlay Lines with Aerodynamic Web Forming Machine Airlay FUTURA

AUTEFA Solutions Airlay Random Card K 12, in combination with Stylus Needle Loom or HiPerTherm Oven, meets all customer requirements for maximum productivity and consistently high quality. Suitable for all types of bonding processes such as thermal, chemical or needle bonding.

Airlay lines are characterised by maximum product quality, economical production and reliability. With more than 500 systems sold worldwide, customers benefit from F.O.R.'s many years of experience in carding and card feeding technology and Fehrer K 12's world-renowned expertise in aerodynamic web formation.

The aerodynamic web forming process with AUTEFA Solutions random card Airlay K 12 stands for an improved MD:CD ratio and a three-dimensional web structure. During the process, the fiber material is opened up to the single fiber, this enables a high versatility regarding fiber choice. Aerodynamic web forming machines from AUTEFA Solutions utilize the aerodynamic principle which results in three-dimensional fiber orientation and total randomization, enabling isotropic web properties. Suitable for all kinds of bonding processes such as thermal-, chemical- or needle-bonding the fabric goods offers a wide variety of applications. The process offers the special advantages when it comes to lighter weights and high loft fabrics.

Sustainability is a huge topic, worldwide. With the increasing environmental awareness, the demand for renewable textiles is forthcoming. Customers using replacement fibers like recycled PET fibers, carbon fibers, reclaimed fibers as well as various natural fibers such as hemp or coconut. Airlay cards with increased opening capabilities distinguish itself to process for a wide variety of different fibers.
