Austrian technology group Andritz will deliver customised needlepunch lines for production of high-quality needlepunch filter felts to Yanpai filtration technology, a Chinese producer of nonwoven filters and woven filter fabrics. The lines will enable Yanpai to achieve state-of-the-art technical characteristics in product quality and line performance.

The start-up of the lines is planned from the third quarter of 2022 to the third quarter of 2023. 

The drylaid web-forming equipment (cards and crosslappers) will be manufactured at the Andritz Wuxi premises, including 8 PRO 25-80 aXcess profile crosslappers for controlled web weight evenness. The 16 eXcelle needlelooms will be supplied by Andritz Asselin-Thibeau in France, the company said in a press release. 

The proven Andritz needlepunch lines will ensure high output and also minimise the downtime required. This order once again shows the strong market position of Andritz’s aXcess and eXcelle equipment, which enable customised solutions to perfectly suit producers’ needs.
