International technology group ANDRITZ has successfully started up a new nonwovens production line supplied to Teknomelt Teknik Mensucat San. ve Tic. A.S. in Kahramanmaras, Türkiye.
By combining the benefits of two technologies, spunlace and wetlaid, the line enables the use of bio-based fibers, like viscose and wood pulp, to produce a high-performance and sustainable wipe with the same technical product characteristics and performances as a conventional wipe made of synthetic fibers while protecting the environment. This perfectly supports Teknomelt’s sustainable development goals and opens new growth opportunities for the company.
Salih Ziya Gümüser, General Manager at Teknomelt, says: “With this start-up we have achieved a new milestone in our production. Using ANDRITZ’s Wetlace CCP technology, we produce our new BionaTM fabric brand. Made of viscose and pulp, our Biona fabrics are not only 100% biodegradable but also extra soft and highly absorbent.”
