Aerodynamic Web Forming & Airlay with FEHRER Technology
AUTEFA Solutions’ Airlay systems for aerodynamic web forming create a fully randomized, three-dimensional fiber orientation based on the aerodynamic principle. The result is a highly uniform web with isotropic properties and an improved MD:CD ratio for reliable product performance.
Building on the long-standing engineering expertise of Fehrer, AUTEFA Solutions develops high-performance Airlay lines for the cost-efficient and reliable production of nonwovens. The aerodynamic process opens the fiber material down to individual fibers and offers maximum flexibility in raw material selection, including natural, synthetic, recycled and technical fibers. This makes the technology particularly suitable for textile recycling and the processing of reclaimed fibers.
The modular FUTURA design provides easy access for cleaning, maintenance and service. All major line components are installed on a linear guiding system, enabling fast accessibility and efficient machine servicing. The modular concept also allows each Airlay system to be configured according to the customer’s specific materials, applications and production requirements.
In combination with Stylus needle punching machines and the HiPerTherm thermobonding oven, AUTEFA Solutions supplies complete aerodynamic web forming lines from a single source — from fiber preparation and web formation to bonding and finishing.
