How to break through the limitations of traditional textile raw materials and lead the innovation of non-woven fabric production?

As the core equipment in non-woven fabric production, one of the biggest highlights of air-laid machines is their wide adaptability to raw materials. In traditional textile processes, the selection of raw materials is often limited by equipment and technology, and many special or unconventional raw materials are difficult to be effectively processed. The air-laid technology, with its unique process characteristics, breaks this bottleneck and realizes the efficient processing of a variety of raw materials from short hair, metal fiber, glass fiber to duck feather, goose feather, wood fiber, straw, etc.

Short hair and feather raw materials: Short hair and feather raw materials are difficult to handle in traditional textile processes because of their short length and easy entanglement, making it difficult to form a stable fiber web. The air-laid machine disperses and deposits short hair and feather raw materials on the web curtain through the action of high-speed airflow to form a uniform fiber web, which makes it possible to produce non-woven fabrics with special feel and warmth retention properties.
Metal fiber and glass fiber: Metal fiber and glass fiber are difficult to process in traditional textile processes due to their high strength, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance and other characteristics. The air-laid machine achieves uniform dispersion and deposition of these special fibers by precisely controlling the airflow intensity and fiber supply, opening up a new way to produce non-woven products with high strength, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance and other characteristics.
Wood fiber and straw raw materials: Wood fiber and straw raw materials are renewable resources with the advantages of environmental protection and sustainability. However, these raw materials are difficult to form a stable fiber web in traditional textile processes. The air-laid machine achieves efficient processing of wood fiber and straw raw materials by optimizing the combing and deposition processes, providing strong support for the production of green and environmentally friendly non-woven products.

The key to the efficient processing of a variety of raw materials by the air-laid machine lies in its unique working principle. This technology uses high-speed airflow to separate the combed fibers from the combing components and deposit them on the web curtain to form a fiber web. The key to this process lies in the control of airflow and the dispersion of fibers.
Airflow control: The air-laid machine achieves the dispersion and deposition of fibers by precisely controlling the intensity and direction of the airflow. The intensity of the airflow directly affects the degree of fiber dispersion and the uniformity of the fiber web. By optimizing the airflow control system, the air-laid machine can achieve precise processing of fibers of different types and properties to ensure the stability and uniformity of the fiber web.
Fiber dispersion: In the air-laid process, fiber dispersion is a key link. The air-laid machine combs the fibers into a single state through the combing component, and uses high-speed airflow to disperse and deposit the fibers onto the web curtain. In this process, the degree of dispersion and uniformity of the fibers directly affect the quality and performance of the fiber web. By optimizing the combing and dispersion process, the air-laid machine can achieve effective processing of fibers of different types and lengths to ensure the quality and stability of the fiber web.

Air-laid machines have been widely used in the field of non-woven fabric production due to their excellent raw material adaptability and efficient production process. From sanitary products, filter materials, packaging materials in daily life to thermal insulation materials, electromagnetic shielding materials, composite materials, etc. in high-tech industries, air-laid machines play an important role.
Hygiene products: Non-woven fabrics produced by air-laid machines are widely used in the field of sanitary products, such as the surface and bottom materials of sanitary napkins, diapers and other products. These products require characteristics such as softness, breathability, and moisture absorption. Air-laid machines meet these requirements by processing a mixture of natural and synthetic fibers.
Filter materials: Non-woven fabrics produced by air-laid machines also have important applications in the field of filter materials. By processing fibers of different types and properties, filter materials with different filtration efficiencies and precisions can be produced, such as air filters, water filters, etc. These products are widely used in industry, medical care, environmental protection and other fields.
Packaging materials: Non-woven fabrics produced by air-laid machines are also widely used in the field of packaging materials. These materials have the characteristics of lightness, softness, and degradability, and are suitable for packaging and fixing of various products. At the same time, by processing fibers of different types and colors, packaging materials with different appearances and textures can be produced to meet the personalized needs of consumers.
High-tech industries: Air-laid machines also play an important role in high-tech industries. By processing special fibers such as metal fibers and glass fibers, non-woven products with high strength, high temperature resistance, and corrosion resistance can be produced. These products are widely used in aerospace, electronics, new energy and other fields, providing strong support for the development of high-tech industries.
