Andritz Küsters’ motto for Index 08, “nonwoven eXcellence—from forming to finishing” signifies the company’s pledge to deliver comprehensive solutions for the nonwovens industry to an increasing extent. In addition to its reputation as a calender specialist Andritz Küsters also has competence in the wet finishing of nonwovens. Depending on the area of application, the core competencies of Andritz Küsters’ wet finishing are the Kissroll technology neXkiss, the padder technology for the high speed operation neXchem, the high efficiency dewatering technology neXaqua, as well as custom-tailored concepts for liquid supply and handling.
Andritz Küsters designs finishing lines from unwinding via finishing aggregate right down to dryer, condensation and winding. The latest addition to the product range—which will be on display at INDEX—are lines for wetlaid nonwovens production. A wetlaid nonwovens lab line has recently been installed at the Andritz Küsters Technical Centre, which offers interested customers the chance to conduct basic trials or individual product developments.
Andritz Küsters’ presence at Index will be rounded off by its renowned calender program. In particular, special attention will be paid to the neXcal twin. It stands for the highest flexibility and cost effectiveness and is the new standard in high performance production of nonwovens.
