Brückner Installs Technical Textile Production Machinery For Nomateks

German textile machinery producer Brückner recently installed a range of innovative machines for production of technical textiles used in modern automotives to Nomateks, a Russian company, an official release said.

The production line is able to coat more than 15 million m² nonwovens per year depending on the type of fabric and process for the use in automobiles according to a company release.

It is possible to finish velour needle felt carpets as well as unstructured needled nonwovens. With a length of more than 70 meters, it is one of the biggest lines Brückner ever supplied for the finishing of needled nonwovens.

Since the project is a completely independent production line, the supply of the line with raw material has been considered from another point of view and a real alternative compared to conventional preparation process in the batch has been found.

Nomateks is a company based in region of Uljanows near the Southern Russian city of Samara.

With more than 180 workers and employees, the company produces high-quality nonwovens to be used in geo or automotive textiles with their own PP and PET fibres. Every year Nomateks produces more than 50 million m² of nonwovens.

The Russian company has been supplied with a Brückner knife-over-table foam unit as well as the Brückner Duo-Therm Dryer, finished with a horizontal chain tensioning system to transport the fabric, besides Brückner heat-recovery and air purification system, the release said.
