Andritz, a supplier of plants, equipment, and services, has bagged an order from Ukrainian manufacturer of household and hygiene products, Biosphere, to deliver its first neXline spunlace line. The spunlace line will enable Biosphere to produce fabrics from 30 to 70 gsm, with an hourly output of up to 3,000 kg/hr after the second commissioning phase.

Start-up is scheduled in two stages – the first one in the first quarter of 2022 and the second in early 2023, reaching full production capacity. The high-capacity spunlace line will double the company’s current production capacity and is designed to process various types of fibres, such as polyester/viscose blends and natural fibres. It is dedicated to the production of household, medical and hygiene fabrics, such as cosmetic, disinfecting and baby wipes, the company said in a press release.

“Our goal is to carry on creating innovative and premium-quality products. When Andritz came up with a tailor-made offer combining its cutting-edge spunlace technology with full flexibility for our future installation, we knew they were the ideal partner to support us in our business development,” Andriy Zdesenko, founder and CEO of Biosphere said in a statement.
