Andritz Küsters presents
neXdetect - a special highlight from the area of wet finishing
Much has changed at Küsters in Krefeld since the Index 05: The
family owned Eduard Küsters Maschinenfabrik is now Andritz
Küsters, an enterprise of the publicly listed Andritz Group,
with its head office in Graz/Austria. Both Andritz Küsters
business areas Paper and Nonwoven have been integrated into
the internationally successful technology company: With
Andritz as a compelling partner the product range in the
nonwoven sector could be markedly developed and expanded.
Andritz Küsters will be present at the Index 08 at booth 2327
with comprehensive solutions for the nonwoven industry.
The motto for the Index 08 “nonwoven
eXcellence – from forming to finishing” signifies the
enterprise’s pledge to deliver comprehensive solutions for the
nonwoven industry to an increasing extent.
In addition to their reputation as calender
specialists Andrit z
Küsters have, in the meantime, through process competence in the wet
finishing of nonwovens, made their mark.
Depending on the area of application the core
competence of Andritz Küsters wet finishing are the Kissroll
technology neXkiss, the padder technology for the high speed
operation neXchem, the high efficiency dewatering
technology neXaqua, as well as custom-tailored concepts
for liquor supply and handling.
Andritz Küsters designs finishing lines from
unwinding via finishing aggregate right down to dryer, condensation
and winding.
The exhibit neXdetect is the
special highlight from the area of wet finishing which Andritz Küsters
presents at the Index. The measuring technique, for which a patent has
been applied, is a breakthrough achieved by Andritz Küsters in the
detection of stripe applications on nonwovens. For producers of
nonwovens with hydrophilic stripes for the hygiene industry this does
not merely mean making the task easier, it also means quality
improvement and a marked cost reduction in production.
Wetlaid nonwoven lab line
The latest addition to the product range are
lines for wetlaid nonwovens production. A wetlaid nonwoven lab line
has recently been installed at the Andritz Küsters Technical Centre,
which offers interested customers the chance to conduct basic trials
or individual product developments.

The results achieved there speak for themselves
and are the basis for the design of production lines. The Andritz
Küsters spectrum in wetlaid technology ranges from the individual
upgrade of existing the inclined wire machines right down to design,
implementation and commissioning of complete wetlaid nonwoven lines.
The Andritz Küsters presence at the fair is
rounded off by the renowned calender programme. In particular, special
attention needs to be drawn to the neXcal twin. It stands for the
highest flexibility and cost effectiveness and is the new standard in
high performance production of nonwovens.
Interested parties are given the opportunity to
gain further insight into the latest developments and services from
the Andritz Küsters team of experts from all relevant departments at
booth 2327.
