Technical nonwovens – when durability is a key requirement
Technical textiles were already used thousands of years ago. Wherever fabrics were used for other purposes than clothing
or decoration, the term technical textile can be applied.
Today, technical nonwovens are indispensable in many industrial sectors. This brochure focuses on fiber-based nonwovens,
i.e. we discuss solutions for carding, carding/crosslapping and subsequent web bonding processes.
Key requirements
One characteristic of technical nonwovens is a long service life. In contrast to disposable nonwoven products for hygiene,
wiping or medical purposes, industrial applications ask for high performance during the entire long lifetime.
Homogeneity of the web and the nonwoven becomes a crucial requirement to prevent early performance losses. Therefore
Trützschler Nonwovens pays special attention to the early stages of fiber preparation, carding, blending and web forming.
A perfect web is the prerequisite for the subsequent web bonding process.
This brochure also covers through-air bonded nonwovens, some of them being technical textiles while others deliver
functionality to single-use hygiene products.

Needle-punching
Needle-punching clearly dominates
the field of durable, technical nonwovens. The high adaptability of the
needling and finishing processes
as well as the broad material base
result in a large number of different
end products.
Needle-punching lines are able to
process natural (jute, hemp etc.,
cotton, wool), man-made (PP, PET…),
performance (PPS, aramide…) and
even recycled or mineral (glass,
basalt…) fibers.
Through-air bonding
In building and construction, thermobonded nonwovens are used for various
types of insulations and filter media.
However, the main application area is
absorbent hygiene products. Highperforming through-air bonded top
sheets and ADL (Acquisition and
Distribution Layer) are indispensable
layers in today’s diapers.
Technologies for manufacturing
technical nonwovens
Early examples of functional textiles
are manually-made felts from entangled
animal hair or plant fibers. They were
mainly used for clothing to keep people
warm and dry. Furthermore they
reinforced shoes to protect the feet
and insulated tented floors and walls.
Hydroentangling (spunlacing)
Spunlacing, i.e. entangling fibers by
pressurized water jets instead of
steel needles, is an alternate bonding
process suited for specific technical
end-uses. Hydroentangled nonwovens
make for excellent coating substrates,
automotive interior textiles or hot-gas
filter hoses.
6
Key applications
The largest application areas for fiber-based nonwovens are construction/ civil engineering, automotive/transportation
as well as air and liquid filtration. Smaller end uses are carpets, furniture and shoes.
Geotextiles
Geotextiles allow for long-term drainage or soil layer separation in dikes, landfills or tunnel constructions.
Needle-punched nonwovens from synthetic fibers deliver tensile strength, elongation, shear and puncture resistance
as well as resistance to chemical and biological degradation.
In temporary road construction, bank and coastal protection or gardening, needled materials from natural fibers are
playing a role. They are meant to biodegrade over time – no microplastics will enter the environment.
7
Filtration media
Nonwoven filter media are essential for pollution protection in both
air and liquid filtration. Ubiquitous products are needle-punched or
through-air bonded nonwovens for air purifiers, automotive cabin air
filters and HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) systems.
Hot-gas filtration in cement kilns and waste incineration plants is
made save by needle-punched or hydroentangled nonwovens.
A typical liquid process is belt filtration of cooling lubricants by
needle-punched nonwovens in mechanical treatment processes
such as grinding.
Automotive textiles
Visible decorative elements such as headliners, trims or mats can be
made from needle-punched or hydroentangled nonwovens. Denser
needle-punched nonwovens are used for acoustic insulation and as
structural foam alternative.
Various other applications for virgin and recycled materials
Some ideas: needle-punched materials serve as structural elements in
furniture, reinforcement layers in shoes or acoustic insulation. Due to
their smooth surface, hydroentangled nonwovens make for excellent
coating substrates.
Functional, non-visible materials in cars, furniture, bedding etc. often
rely on needle-punched nonwovens made from recycled fibers.

Solutions for recycled fibers
Our approach
In a first step, Trützschler Nonwovens concentrates on re-using post-industrial
waste, so-called soft waste. T-SUPREMA lines for recycled materials are fed
with recycled fiber bales manufactured by our partner’s tearing line.
The first step: a tearing line
Post-industrial waste contains neither buttons, zippers or seams. It’s just
fabric that needs to be cut into small pieces, mixed and fed to the tearing
machine. Up to 6 opening sections with powerful filters pre-open the fabric
pieces, extract dust and smallest chunks and feed the bale press with highquality reclaimed fibers.
More than 60 million tons of man-made
and natural fibers are produced each
year. And each year several million tons
of used textiles are disposed to landfill.
Textile recycling is the next big thing to
come. Today, a handful of industrialscale recycling technologies are mature
enough to give used textiles a new life.

The TBL-FB feed box
This box is more than a material buffer
between blending bin and card feeder.
Equipped with feed rolls and a pinned
opening roller, it generates a uniform
flow of small tufts to the card feeder.
Fine opening by the feed box is
clamp-free to prevent stress on the
fibers. The speed of the feed rolls is
continuously adjusted via a pressure
monitoring system that monitors the
filling level in the downstream card
feeder (CONTIFEED).
The fine opener TBL-FO
The high demands of cotton, natural
and recycled fibers require a fine
opener to be included in the production line.
TBL-FO works clamp-free with several
opening rolls. It gently opens coarse
fiber tufts into finest tufts or even
single fibers to facilitate carding.
Blending bin TBL-BB: a fiber blender
and material buffer
Feed box TBL-FB for fine opening in man-made
fiber lines

Consistent high blending quality
In high performance lines the blending chamber is used as a fiber storage
to ensure a continuous flow of fibers
to the web forming machinery. If fibers
of different types, lengths and colours
are to be blended, the chamber allows
for a maximum homogeneity. It is easy
to operate, safe and reliable.
Multi-purpose TWF-NC card with
basic doffing section
Whether standard, coarse or extremely long fibers – the combination of
fiber-specific NC card configuration and appropriate card feeder ensures
homogeneous fiber feeding, carding and blending.
The NC card perfectly teams up with our various crosslapper types to produce
isotropic webs.

NCT card for excellent blending
A row of similar sized cylinders allows for gentle carding. Nep generation – an issue
with natural or reclaimed fibers – is minimized.
The special doffing design rearranges the fibers during their transfer and forms a
highly random, voluminous web.
TWF-NCR: processing fibers of different lengths
NCT’s layout with two equally sized, large cylinders and double transfer ensures
excellent carding and blending results.

Making the difference: Card clothings by Trützschler Card Clothing
Optimum card performance
Roller cards in nonwoven lines as
well as flat-top cards depend on
the quality of the clothing to ensure
top-class products. Wires differ with
regard to the tooth contour and the
profile cross section, the structure
or the surface treatment.
We supply tailored clothings for
each roll. These are based on the
roll type, the raw material, the
production speed and other processing parameters.
Global availability and service
For decades, TCC has been providing worldwide locally organised,
customer-oriented service – and this
service is continuously expanding. It
ranges from one-off visits for troubleshooting to maintenance contract

Crosslapper CLH
To produce webs that are particularly
wide, thick or virtually isotropic, the
crosslapper precisely folds the web
and lays it down in several layers at
high speed.
Numerous variations in terms of
machine widths, web width and
heights allow custom-made solutions
for different line configurations.
In T-SUPREMA needle-punching lines
the type of crosslapper is chosen on
a case-to-case basis

Closed-loop profiling
Stirovelo is a web profiling unit separating the crosslapper from the card.
Card and crosslapper keep constant
speeds while Stirovelo generates variations in the web weight to correct the
finished nonwoven’s CV. X-ray scanner
data is used to monitor web density
and make appropriate corrections.
Stirovelo enables constant automatic
regulation without intervention of an
operator. Web Drafter

A crosslapper usually pairs up with a
web drafter to finally give the web the
desired characteristics. The drafter
reorients the web’s fibers and adjusts
both web weight and thickness. It also
increases the line speed especially
when processing lightweight webs.

Our nonwoven lines are designed
to run for over decades. But
technology advances open up
new opportunities. To keep your
system up-to date, we offer various
upgrades.
Trainings
Our NCTC Technical Center in
Egelsbach allows for training your
staff even before your new line has
been started up. Before handing
over the line – and also at any later
date – we offer extensive trainings
on-the-job.
