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 Andritz 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.
