Innovatec GmbH, one of the global nonwoven manufacturers, has been in a partnership with Oerlikon Nonwoven to establish two new production lines for melt-blown.
"We are very proud to have been involved in this project from the very beginning and to be able to actively support such an important nonwoven producer as Innovatec with our meltblown technology", explained Rainer Straub, Head of Oerlikon Nonwoven.
‘’We Aim To Reduce Our Dependence’’
"We want to significantly expand production capacities for protective equipment in Germany and thus effectively reduce our dependence on imports. Our long-term goal is to cover the entire value chain – from machines to filter fleece and protective masks. The investment by Innovatec GmbH has brought us a big step closer to our goal of an additional 4 000 tons of nonwoven annually" Peter Altmaier said at the on-site event.
‘’Oerlikon Nonwoven With Orders Until 2021’’
"We are already looking ahead to 2021 thanks to an attractive order pipeline. Our order intake is now in the upper double-digit million Euro range. We have adjusted our delivery times to the extent possible’’ said Rainer Straub, Head of Oerlikon Nonwoven.
Oerlikon Nonwoven Melt-Blown Technology
Oerlikon Nonwoven melt-blown technology, which can also be used to produce nonwovens for protective masks, is recognized in the market as the technically most efficient method of producing high-separation filter media from plastic fibers. Most of the protective mask capacities available in Europe to date are produced on Oerlikon Nonwoven equipment.
