Ultrasonics for Nonwovens

Chase Machine and Engineering
The hygiene market is one of the nonwovens industry’s largest segments. Baby diapers and adult incontinence products along with feminine hygiene products are unique in their usage compared to products in other industries as they contact the user for a period of time. This requires the material to be soft and flexible in nature along with the ability to wick and absorb fluids. By combining layers of various nonwovens, each designed with their own unique characteristics, manufacturers have the ability to create application specific products.

Over the years, the challenge has always been the same. Products need to be softer, more flexible, lighter and more absorbent too. Fortunately, ultrasonic technology is a great solution for these challenges.

Ultrasonics is a clean and efficient method of embossing, laminating, slitting and splicing synthetic materials. And from a quality standpoint, the consistency of the bond or pattern is unmatched.
Other technologies such as sewing for instance, produces holes, which create leak paths while also requiring the use of consumables
