LAROCHE, world leader in equipment for processing fibres, in technologies for recycling and nonwovens, was established in 1926.

In the field of nonwovens, LAROCHE offers very accurate opening and blending lines. LAROCHE has developed since the nineties airlaying machines too producing at low cost firts quality felts for Mattress felts (bedding), furniture, carpet underlay, horticulture, insulation, automotive, geotextile, filtration, hygiene and wipes.

The Airlay machine is designed to handle all types of fibres - short re-cycled to long and coarse natural fibres (even glass fibres). This machine produces mat from 200 gr/m2 upto 3000/4000 gr/m2 (according to fibres) having width upto 4000 mts.

Specialist for drylaid nonwovens machines and lines for direct or crosslaid technologies applicable to all kinds of bonding processes

ANDRITZ Asselin-Thibeau, located in Elbeuf, Belgium, has united the expertise of two pioneers in nonwovens drylaid processes, Antoine Thibeau & Cie (founded in 1896) and Asselin Cie, (founded in 1920). Both companies have been leading providers of customized system solutions for the textile and nonwovens industries right from the very beginning.

Core competences
Today, ANDRITZ Asselin-Thibeau designs and manufactures integrated production lines that include inline and/or crosslaid carding, spunlace, needlepunch, and thermal, chemical, or through-air bonding. All lines can be equipped with a supervisory control assistance system, including production recipes. The product portfolio includes equipment for several levels of performance, depending on local market size, fabric weight, production speed, final application, and maintenance requirements. Brands like eXcelle, aXcess, or ProDyn have set a worldwide benchmark for quality and ensure that customers always find exactly the right technology for their individual demands.

Research and development
The nonwovens market is characterized by a multitude of constantly changing applications. ANDRITZ Asselin-Thibeau therefore has a clear focus on continuous research and development. One example of a recent development in inline carding is the Isoweb TT card. The special configuration at the card output provides remarkable enhancements in CD tensile values and closer MD/CD ratios at very high production speeds. Also in crosslaid carding, innovative devices like ACS and Ouat!sys, which allow crosslapper feeding at higher speed, provide best productivity and optimized quality of the fabric at the same time. Our on-going efforts concentrate on easy-to-apply systems that ensure user-friendly operation and utmost cost efficiency in nonwovens production.

Product development in our technical centers
ANDRITZ Asselin-Thibeau focuses on designing customized solutions. We offer an unrivalled technical center, providing trials, product development, marketing tests, training, and support are for the following technologies:

• Carding
• Crosslapping
• Drafting
• Needlepunching
• Winding

Global presence
Thanks to the global network of the ANDRITZ GROUP, ANDRITZ Asselin-Thibeau has the international presence to provide full and effective support to our customers and partners.

Qingdao Jinzuan Needles Co. Ltd. is the largest and most important producer of felting and structuring needles for the nonwoven industry in China. They also manufacture fittings such as brushes for velour production.

Almost 30 years of production and constant quality and technology improvement have made their needles a crucial key for the extraordinary development of the nonwoven industry in China and is supporting as well needlepunch fabric manufacturers in a growing number of countries worldwide. They hold patents for several self-developed technologies.

The needles count with 11 categories, which comprises TAPER, TRINGULAR, San Yan, DIAMOND, CYLINDER, STAR, SPIRAL, CROWN, FORK, LONG POINT, INVERTED BARB NEEDLES. They have needles for every single application geotextiles, filtration, carpets, artificial leather, automotive fabrics etc.

If they don't have the needle for any particular needs, they simply create it specially for the customer. Also they have excellent performance-price ratio keeping manufacture costs low while maintaining high efficiency and product quality.

www.schott-meissner.de Schott & Meissner was established by Heinz Schott and Wolfgang Meissner in 1986. Since then, the company name has been a synonym for proven and reliable state-of-the-art Nonwoven Bonding Lines, Lines for Heat Treatment and Drying, and Thermofix continuous Double Belt Presses.

We target potential customers who come up with specific process demands, which we can develop and offer reasonable benefit-cost-ratio solutions for. Our machines and equipment also stand for notable return-of-capital-invest within a short period of time.

Last but not least, Schott & Meissner also reflects the distinguished flexibility of a medium-sized company and the utilization of modern manufacturing processes and systems to guarantee steady and consistent high quality standards.

Lines for Heat Treatment and Nonwoven Bonding
The root of our business is the heat treatment principle. We bring hot air, contact heat and radiant heat into shape, in order to dry, melt or thermoset different kind of material in a continuous or discontinuous manner.

We are specialized on manufacturing Nonwoven Bonding Lines for thermal bonding by either low melt fibers or melt powder as bonding agent, Chemical Bonding Lines for either spray application, foam impregnation or liquid binder bonding.

Downstream equipment such as calendars, accumulators and cut-to-length units do complement each of our line concepts.

Thermofix Technology

Functional principle of Schott & Meissner's flatbed laminator Thermofix is a combination of contact heat and pressure. The product to be processed is passed all through the machine by being hold in between two teflon-coated conveyor belts. Heat transfer is by means of heating plates which are positioned right beneath top and bottom conveyor belts. Additionally, the product can be passed all through one or multiple pairs of nip-rolls, arranged inline one after the other, as integrated part of the flatbed laminator, whereas the product is still being hold in between the conveyor belts while being compressed by the calibrating rollers. Subsequent to the heating zone, the flatbed laminator incorporates a cooling area. This field is for cooling the product down and to "freeze" the achieved product features by means of cooling plates, which are also positioned right beneath top and bottom conveyor belts. A separate, independent lifting unit which is connected to the cooling plates allows to cool and / or calibrate the product either with or without pressure.

Technical Data

• Useful working width 1.000 - 3.200 mm
• Free clearance between conveyor belts max. 200 mm
