Production lines and machines from AUTEFA Solutions are characterized by advanced technology, quality and cost-effectiveness. Careful maintenance, service and repair of the systems is of vital importance. Our service department is available to solve problems and offers specialized service packages, including the supply of OEM spare parts.

We offer valuable and cost-effective solutions and upgrades to improve existing equipment and adapt to ever-changing market conditions. Our modifications result in significant improvements in health and safety, work simplification, process reliability and complaint minimization.

Take advantage of our expertise and optimize your production processes with our assessments.

If you own an AUTEFA, Fehrer, FOR, OCTIR or Strahm machine that has been in production for more than 20, 30 or 40 years, become a member of the AUTEFA Classic Club. You will receive upgrades, retrofits and special services tailored to your machine type to further increase the life and efficiency of your machines.

AUTEFA Solutions HiPerTherm Thermobonding oven with the proven double nozzle system is still the machine of choice when it comes to thermal bonded materials from airlay- lines and card-crosslapping lines. There is a growing demand in high speed through air thermobonding lines for hygiene products such as acquisition and distribution layers (ADL). These materials are used in baby diapers, sanitary napkins and adult incontinence products. The key strengths of the AUTEFA Solutions belt dryers are uniform airflow and the precisely adjustable temperature distribution, the ability to maintain loft or to create high densities.

The Web Master FUTURA card combines the proven quality of the established Web Master cards with relevant developments focusing on functional aspects and maintenance. This premium machine has been specifically designed and engineered for high production speeds to meet the needs of nonwoven lines worldwide. A unique design allows easy access to all parts of the card: this feature guarantees significantly reduced cleaning and maintenance times, together with much higher operating efficiency. The Web Master FUTURA with double intermediate doffers is characterized by high web quality, high production and gentle fiber treatment for highest carding and blending effects.

Topliner crosslappers increase both web uniformity and throughput speeds. The Topliner crosslappers, in combination with the WebMax web profile control and the CLOSED LOOP system, prevent the increased weight of the fabric in the edge areas, the so-called smile effect. This results in excellent fabric uniformity and, thanks to significant material savings, a reduction in material costs. These features are particularly important for lightweight applications on spunlace lines or for heavyweight applications on carpet and geotextile lines. A new or replacement investment with the Crosslapper Topliner always leads to an improvement in quality and production.

Needle punching machines from AUTEFA Solutions combine Fehrer's know-how and long experience with the latest technology and offer optimum solutions for any kind of needling requirements, as single machines or integrated in complete lines:

• Variliptic drive concept
• NL drive concept
• Machine speeds in excess of 3000 rpm in continuous operation
• Working widths up to 16 m
• Needle densities up to 30000 needles per meter

AUTEFA Solutions offers several Airlay machines for aerodynamic web forming as well as complete Airlay lines. The portfolio includes, among others, the V21/R – Airlay K12 aerodynamic web forming system (more than 500 installations worldwide), the Airlay K12 with High-Loft module to increase web bulk, and the Airlay FUTURA V12/R aerodynamic web forming machine as a compact and cost-effective solution.

Depending on the raw material, Airlay lines are fed via chute or hopper feeders and are designed as a two-stage process: pre-web forming (V21/R) followed by single-fiber opening and 3D randomization (K12). The FUTURA design, with components mounted on a linear guide system and a modular configuration, supports easy cleaning and maintenance as well as application-specific line layouts.

For web consolidation, the lines can be combined, among others, with needle looms (Stylus NL) and the HiPerTherm thermobonding oven; depending on the configuration, mechanical, thermal, and chemical bonding processes are also possible.

Processable materials include man-made fibers, natural fibers, reclaimed textile waste/shoddy, as well as carbon and glass fibers (approx. 1.7–200 dtex, up to 100 mm). Typical basis weights range from 150–8000 g/m²; the FUTURA V12/R, for example, produces 400–7000 g/m² (depending on configuration). Typical application fields include filtration, automotive substrates, thermal and acoustic insulation materials, interlinings, and mattress felts.
