Andritz is set to present advanced process solutions at IDEA, addressing the growing market demand across various nonwoven and textile sectors. At IDEA, a special focus will be on technologies for sustainable nonwoven applications, particularly in the areas of wipes and hygiene, Dry Molded Fiber technology as well as innovations in durable nonwovens and life cycle service.

Andritz is at the forefront of developing sustainable wipes through a variety of advanced technologies. Its expertise ranges from airlaid and spunlace to Wetlace and Airlace  processes. By combining these technologies in various ways, Andritz can cater to different segments of the wipes market. For instance, the Wetlace technology is designed to produce flushable wipes while the Wetlace CP (carded-pulp), Airlace CAC (carded-airlaid-carded), and Spunlace CTC (carded-tissue-carded) technologies are the preferred options for biodegradable wipes. Airlace technology is often used to manufacture household wipes, ensuring high performance and sustainability.

Additionally, the new Andritz airlaid underpad eXcelle line features in-line airlaid technology designed to produce premium-quality airlaid underpads used in hygiene applications

Andritz has developed a comprehensive process to recycle SAP, fluff pulp, and other components of Absorbent Hygiene Products (AHPs) while maintaining high material quality and will open a pilot line for the recycling of industrial diaper waste in September 2025.
Other highlights include the neXbond ultrasonic bonding technology, which combines tensioned elastics entrapped between two layers of nonwoven fabric, spunlace lines capable of making products for hygiene and fem care applications, airlay technology for durable nonwovens and needlepunch solutions.
