Albaad Massuot Yitzhak Ltd. has announced it will add a neXline wetlace hybrid line to its Dimona, Israel facility. The Andritz-supplied line will produce a wide variety of pulp-based wet wipes and is scheduled for start-up during the third quarter 2023.
“We are dedicated to developing new products – such as eco-friendly, biodegradable wipes," says Dan Mesika, president and CEO. "As pioneering manufacturers of our Hydrofine flushable wipes, we are committed to environmental sustainability. Thanks to the new Andritz line, we will enlarge the product portfolio at our Dimona production site with innovative fabrics and high efficiency."
Albaad is one of the world’s three largest wet wipe manufacturers and is committed to delivering excellent wipes for every need. The company runs world-leading production facilities on three continents, each equipped with the latest technologies. Albaad produces spunlace and flushable fabrics in its facilities as well as purchasing from other roll goods suppliers in order to support production of a wide variety of wipes.
“Our knowledge and experience in drylaid and wetlaid technology, together with the state-of-the-art equipment supplied by Andritz, will enable us to provide the market with natural-source nonwovens and the best answer to the market demand," says Gadi Choresh, president, Nonwovens division, Albaad.
The state-of-the-art neXline wetlace hybrid is the perfect combination of inline drylaid and wetlaid web forming with hydroentanglement and drying, including quality control equipment and a Metris Industry 4.0 package. The line can produce first-class fabrics, including biodegradable, carded-pulp and flushable/dispersible nonwovens for end uses as wipes.
“Our innovative production line gives Albaad enormous flexibility in the production of wipes," says Tobias Schäfer, Vice president sales at Andritz Nonwoven. "In addition, the Metris digitalization package by Andritz will provide Albaad with highly efficient and smart operation.”
