Fare



Fare, leading supplier of complete lines for the production of manmade fibres, has developed the most advanced technology for the nonwoven webs.

With a background of several decades of experience and hundreds customers using Farè machinery, the new activity as manufacturer of complete spunbond lines has been the natural step forward to give a proper contribution in this field.

The spunbond technology by Farè has been developed keeping four important factors under consideration:

- cost of investment
- quality of the product
- energy saving
- raw material consumption

Today the competition among the nonwovens producers has become tough and, to achieve profitable results, all above four factors must be respected.

The lines realized by Farè cover the entire range of the market demand, from hygienic to geotextile.

Table 1 summarizes the data of the spunbond lines available.



For the installation, the line does not need any special arrangement of the building and no underground diggings or pits are needed.

No air compressed is requested for the draw and suction in the web forming unit; this is one of the important factors which has dropped the energy consumption to levels not possible before.

The optimized design of the spinning section with the transfer of knowledge in the polyolefinic field, has brought on increase of the production yield thanks to the almost zero amount of waste produced.

During the running of the lines, there are no stops or interruptions of the production due to the absence of breakages of the filaments and thanks to the single slot draw chimney.

The contribution that Farè brings to the nonwovens sector is not merely related to the quality and the performance of the machine but also to the possibility to produce new kind of nonwovens.

Special efforts have been done in the R&D with the in house semi-industrial plant to develop these  new products and the complete package (machinery plus software) is supplied for bicomponent side by side, sheath-core and hollow segmented pie.

Several  polymers and their combination for the production of splittable bicomponent filaments have been processed already: PET-PP, PET-PA, PET-PE, PP-PE.

Many new products are now available for applications from protective apparel to customized laminated and composite material.

After the first bicomponent line with 3.2 mETER width suitable for polyolefinic polymers, a new SMMS line is in construction at Farè to be delivered to a European customer.
