Redefining nonwovens carding with the X-Series

Nonwoven textile producers are getting squeezed by two powerful forces. On one side, costs for energy and fibers are rising. On the other, customers demand increasing levels of quality, flexibility and sustainability. Two next-generation nonwoven cards from Trützschler are now easing that pressure – by improving performance, boosting resource-efficiency and giving nonwovens the X-factor!

Discover the X-Series, Trützschler’s advanced nonwoven carding solution: the NC-X and the NCT-X. Both machines are specifically engineered to increase process productivity while maintaining quality, reducing energy and resource consumption as well as waste. The rail-mounted design provides maximum flexibility by allowing all carding units to slide apart for easy access to all components. This minimizes cleaning time, resulting in more than 100 hours of additional uptime per year. The X-Series enables producers to quickly adapt the doffing section to meet specific product requirements and achieve excellent web quality at high speeds without compromising performance.

All benefits at one glance

The X-Series provides a range of benefits for nonwovens producers through extensive technical improvements:

Highest productivity:

Trützschler nonwovens cards deliver up to four percent more sellable product. This is because they offer the widest usable web width in their class, enabling an increase in the web width by up to four percent.

Enhanced raw material efficiency:

The machines feature a separate suction system for good fibers, reducing fiber consumption by up to 2.5 percent. At both doffers, web edges are sucked off and can re-enter the process, without being mixed with dust or waste fibers. That saves a lot of money, while also supporting sustainability.

Maximum uptime:

Optimal access reduces scheduled cleaning times by up to 20 minutes per day. All carding modules are mounted on rails, allowing quick and easy cleaning, inspection or maintenance. This time saving also reduces labor costs and provides more than 100 additional operating hours per year.

Flexibility:

It’s super-fast to change the configuration of the doffing section with both of these cards for different end product requirements. Removable upper and lower condensing rollers, as well as stepless adjustable take-off rollers, make it possible to achieve fast changeover times between production runs.

Versatile performance for multiple applications

The NC-X card can be used in hydroentangling, needle-punching, through-air and chemical bonding systems, with applications ranging from hygiene products and wipes to technical nonwovens. An additional carding point in the new 5+5 worker/ stripper configuration improves carding and blending quality. NCT-X cards with two large cylinders offer the highest carding and blending performance, consistently delivering excellent web quality on high-speed lines for hydroentangled wipes. They are also excellent web formers in lines for needle-punched automotive textiles that require a homogeneous blend of different fiber types.

The NCT-X nonwoven card is uniquely versatile and can optimize a wide range of production processes.

Energy efficiency in spunlacing

Drying is an important step for producing high-quality nonwoven products. But evaporating moisture at rapid speed is very energy intensive. That’s why their innovators created the Modular Performance Dryer (MPD). It delivers excellent performance and reduces energy consumption when drying cotton, viscose and pulp nonwovens. Its compact design saves floor space – and the MPD even fits into existing lines! The first successful installation of this flexible and future-proof solution is now cutting costs and supporting sustainability for their longstanding customer, Lentex.
