Hydroentanglement is a very fast and effective web bonding technology and the next process for wet lacing and spunlace. High-pressure water jets are used. The water is sprayed through the web on the mesh belts for fibers to entangle mechanically. The number of jets, amount of pressure is critical for perfect entanglement.

This method allows the bonding of light and heavy webs of even up to 3-4 layers of natural or synthetic fibers.

Hydroentanglement has a wide range of application areas such as in wetlaid, wetlaid-spunlace, spunlace, carded, crosslapped, spunlaid nonwovens.

KM-HydroJet is a piece of excellent equipment for the hydroentanglement process. It shines out with its changeable and configurable jet heads per the application and customer needs, versatility, user-friendliness, ease of maintenance and reasonable ROI.

Slitter winder is the latest step of the nonwoven production process. The web that comes out of the line is winded over a cardboard or metal shaft. When the desired diameter is reached then the shaft is removed from the process and the new shaft is placed on the winder area. This change-over takes place non-stop at the line’s maximum running speed.

KM-SWinder is also equipped with longitudinal slitting blades that allow the slitting of full web width into narrower webs. The process is fully servo-driven and makes sure the finished rolls have the same tension and tightness throughout the winding process.
