AUTEFA Solutions LineONE

AUTEFA Solutions brings together companies with a long tradition and proven track record in the market. By combining the expertise of AUTEFA, Fehrer, FOR and Strahm, the company stands for outstanding quality, durability and performance. Based on the extensive know-how and practical experience of its employees, AUTEFA Solutions develops innovative technological concepts for nonwoven production. 

AUTEFA Solutions' needle punching lines are characterized by high flexibility and efficiency, allowing the processing of a wide range of fibers. These include synthetic fibers such as PP, PES, PA, PAN, PTF and viscose as well as glass and carbon fibers and natural fibers such as flax, hemp, jute, wool and cotton. The resulting needlepunched nonwovens are primarily used in technical applications such as geotextiles, automotive textiles, and filtration media for gas and liquid filtration. They are also widely used in home furnishings, upholstery, and many other industrial applications.

The Double Doffer DD ONE card is an advanced carding system featuring a first main cylinder, a transfer roller, and a second main cylinder. It can be fed by various feeding systems, including feeding rollers, overhead feed plates, or bottom plates, ensuring flexibility for different production setups.
Designed for consistent performance and long-term durability, this highly reliable card delivers exceptional results. In addition, it can be equipped with multiple delivery configurations, such as two parallel webs, parallel and condensed webs, or two condensed webs, providing versatility to meet different production needs. 

All sections of the DD ONE card are supported by high-precision linear guides, ensuring smooth and effortless opening and closing, section by section. The newly reinforced overhead feeding plate optimizes fiber guidance and control. Improved access for inspection and cleaning is provided by easy-to-open floor covers or grids. Five worker/stripper pairs on the second main cylinder further improve product quality and enhance the carding effect. An advanced suction system minimizes dust and fiber accumulation, while integrated fans efficiently remove dust and edge trim.

A web drafter is a crucial component in nonwovens production lines, enhancing the quality and uniformity of the  nonwoven web. Positioned typically between the crosslapper and the first needleloom, the web drafter plays a vital role in optimizing the characteristics of the nonwoven material. The Web Drafter WD ONE isWD ONE drafts the crosslapped web in the material direction (MD), enabling high infeed speeds and precise weight distribution. This results in web optimization in terms of tensile strength and elongation. When processing lightweight products, the Web Drafter WD ONE increases web uniformity.

Equipped with multiple drafting trios, often up to 8, the Web Drafter WD ONE works by drafting the crosslapped web  in the machine direction (MD). This process enables higher infeed speeds while ensuring precise weight distribution across the web. As a result, the nonwoven web experiences improved tensile strength, elongation, and overall  uniformity.

The HiPerTherm double belt oven system comprises of a modular design, adaptable to all drying and thermobonding needs. In the standard version the machine is equipped with the Bernoulli nozzle, a drawer nozzle system made for hardest process environments with raw materials reaching from almost dust to longest fibers.

Through double frame construction, high density insulation, magnetic operator doors and an intelligent built in energy recovery system along with state of the art control systems the machine recommends itself for all processes with a need for one or all out of high throughput, perfect bonding with no gradient over the product thickness, perfect calibration achieved through a perfect mechanical structure combined with utmost airflow and temperature uniformity.
