Visit AUTEFA Solutions at ITMA 2023 to see how we can help you enhance your production while demonstrating our cutting-edge solutions and knowledge in advanced materials, the digital age, innovation, and sustainability.

One of the most important issues facing the textile business is sustainability. Water use, recycling, the circular economy, and energy savings are crucial for our sector to achieve these goals, and creative solutions must be created to address these problems. Another major obstacle is the evolving labour market. More expertise and talented workers are required to operate and maintain the sophisticated machinery employed in the manufacturing process as the sector continues to expand. The industry is also changing as a result of digitalization and automation, and businesses must invest in cutting-edge technologies to keep up.As a result, the sector may carry on expanding and prospering while assisting in the development of a more sustainable future. The ITMA is proud to present the newest technological advancements that meet client needs while also having a minimal negative environmental impact. By utilising natural or recycled fibre, our cutting-edge Airlay technology creates heavy, thick fibre mats for the expanding acoustic and thermal insulation markets. market. Our energy-saving Spunlace technology is made to increase productivity while reducing energy use. Our Needle Exchanger technology is a significant addition to any production line since it decreases downtime and boosts efficiency. Additionally, we provide automated bale warehousing options that maximise available space and simplify operations.

And you can rely on us to be there for you every step of the way thanks to our outstanding customer care. However, it goes beyond just business; we are dedicated to lessening our carbon footprint. Our inventions and technologies are sustainable options for companies aiming to lessen their environmental effect because they are made to minimise waste and energy use. Come learn more about our solutions and how they may help your company and the environment by joining us at ITMA. As With consumers and businesses alike looking for ways to recycle fast fashion, sustainability is becoming an increasingly important factor in the fashion industry. In response to this trend, AUTEFA Solutions offers a variety of cutting-edge solutions designed to process and reuse various types of fibres, including reclaimed, natural, and man-made materials.

When used in conjunction with a Stylus Needle Loom or a HiPerTherm Oven, our Airlay KV12/K12 aerodynamic web forming machine satisfies all customer demands for maximum productivity and reliable high quality. To reduce lengthy downtimes and increase the service life of the needle boards, the re-needling of needle boards in the manufacturing of needle punching nonwovens must be quick, safe, and effective. AUTEFA Solutions has created a creative fix. To solve these problems, the Needle Exchanger was created. By automating the physically demanding and dangerous human procedure of inserting, exchanging, and removing needles, this system reduces the possibility of operator injury while eliminating the possibility of board damage. The Needle Exchanger is the most cost-effective service machine for needle exchange in the manufacturing of nonwovens and offers a high return on investment.AUTEFA Solutions provides a special service machine in the form of the Automatic Needle Exchanger. Reproducibility and safety at each needle swap are of the utmost importance due to the machine’s efficiency and tailored software system. In order to minimise lengthy downtimes and to increase productivity, the re-needling of the needle boards must be straightforward, safe, and effective. the duration of the needle boards’ employment. In a nonwoven production line, the Needle Exchanger is the most cost-effective way to carry out this service. Even if a service workshop has enough staff, manual needle exchange poses a significant danger of board damage. Our creative solution, the Needle Exchanger, substitutes the manual procedure with a device designed to swap out needles without harming the needle boards. The automated procedure also offers a high return on investment and removes the possibility of operator injury.

The partnership between AUTEFA Solutions and PAMA Paper Machinery combines the greatest features of the nonwovens and paper industries, combining web forming, consolidation, and drying technology based on fibres with Wetlaid technology. industry. The preferred method for creating sustainable and affordable nonwovens from 100% cellulosic raw materials, such as cellulose pulp, viscose, or Lyocell fibres, is wetlaid-spunlace. In order to develop sustainable and biodegradable items for a world with less plastic, this collaboration supplies the machine technology. The solution to the massive problem of escalating raw material and energy costs is to produce sustainable products using energy-saving and cutting-edge Wetlaid technology.

The use of AUTEFA carding and spunlace technologies enhances the final product’s bulk and feel. We are concentrating on cutting-edge paper machine solutions with even greater performance, notably for CP goods, as opposed to the traditional Wetlaid inclined wire technology. By using this technology, less energy and pulp fibres are needed. Further With the help of AUTEFA Solutions’ V-Jet technology for hydroentanglement, our most efficient dewatering with V-shaped suction slots, and the highly effective SQ-V square drum drier technology, electricity and water usage may be reduced. With the least amount of fibre consumption, our method aims to produce a homogenous pulp layer for excellent fibre dispersion. Wetlaid – spunlace products may be produced with the highest quality and quantity thanks to the technology we are glad to provide to our customers.

Numerous advantages of automated warehousing include reduced inventory, lower operating costs, better ROI, and lower life cycle costs. Other advantages include improved productivity, better material flow, fewer personnel requirements, and safer operations. Since taking the lead in the market for fibre baling presses for synthetic fibres, we have increased our giving a service that covers every stage of production, including warehousing. With great pleasure, we announce the impending launch of our most recent project with a Turkish client. You will get a first look at one of the biggest PET fibre bale logistics facilities in the world during the ITMA. The massive fibre output of six new polyester staple fibre lines will be organised, pressed, formed, packaged, strapped, identified, labelled, stacked, and prepared for storage and logistical activities at AUTEFA Solutions’ warehousing and logistics centre.With fully automated baling systems with vast capacity, covered and sealed short cut balers, sanitary fibre baling systems, silicon and conjugated fibre, and other specific fibre qualities, AUTEFA Solution has honed its expertise over the past ten years. Bale conveyance with additional strapping, weighing, automated labelling, stacking, and sorting, as well as block or rack storage are all examples of baling techniques. Our attention extends beyond the traditional mechanical engineering goals of higher, faster, and farther. Instead, we want to encourage a steady and sustainable output through our service offerings. Our examinations of thermal systems serve as an illustration of this, where our experts create customised plans for each of our clients and spot areas with the greatest potential for energy savings.

We view this as a sustainable strategy when we do conversions and install new drives and controls for our clients. For existing machinery, we provide conversions, modifications, and electrification services that are updated to be resource-efficient, economical, and in compliance with current safety regulations for usage in the future. since most machines globally We advise our customers to take advantage of the “low-hanging fruit” potential and invest in renovations to ensure their production for the foreseeable future. We lay a strong emphasis on sustainability and wish to support our clients in achieving effective production that is also environmentally friendly. Our new AUTFA Loyalty programmes demonstrate our dedication to sustainability and put an emphasis on extending the life of older equipment, which is in line with businesses that care about the environment.
