Press release 2023/06/07 "ANDRITZ strengthens nonwovens business by acquiring Dan-Web"
With the acquisition by the ANDRITZ Group, Dan-Web customers will also benefit from a further development, sales, and service network in the future and technological synergies within the ANDRITZ Nonwoven & Textile Division, which will have a positive effect on generating innovations even faster.
ANDRITZ Dan-Web has an outstanding wealth of experience in the field of airlaid nonwoven, complete lines as well as individual equipment. Airlaid nonwoven is a type of nonwoven fabric that is made by using air to disperse fibers and then bonding them together, e.g. by thermal bonding or mechanical processes. The process involves opening and blending fibers of different fiber types, such as wood pulp, synthetic fibers, natural fibers, or blends of those with the use of air to form randomly oriented fibers.
Airlaid nonwovens are used for personal hygiene products such as diapers or fem care products, for medical supplies such as drapes or surgical gowns, for filtration products, food packaging for the food industry but also for household and personal hygiene such as facial wipes or cleaning cloths.
Compared to other nonwoven technologies, airlaid has the unique ability to lay down short fibers, either 100% pulp fibers, or mixtures of pulp and short cut synthetic fibers, to form a homogeneous and continuous web.
ANDRITZ Dan-Web offers the full range of machine technology for complete production lines. Starting with web forming, the actual process that gave Airlad its name, through defibrator technology, mill-to-web units, and web transfer equipment to dryer machines.
