Automatic Needle Exchanger

According to customer requirements the re-needling of the needle boards has to be simple, safe and efficient, in order to avoid long downtimes and to extend the service life of the needle boards. For this service work in a needle punching nonwovens production the Needle Exchanger is the most economic service machine. The manual process of needle insertion, needle exchange or needle removal is physically tiring work. The manual process of needle removal and insertion of new needles includes a high risk of injury and is often difficult to staff. Be honest, no one is willing to do the manual needle exchange. Even if there is enough manpower for a service workshop, there is a high risk of board damage due to manual needle exchange. The Needle Exchanger is our innovative solution which replaces the manual process with a machine engineered to replace needles without damage to the needle boards. The automated process also removes the risk of operator injury and provides a great return on investment.
