SANTEX RIMAR GROUP concentrates products for nonwovens solutions

SANTEX RIMAR GROUP has an history based on innovation as well as on tradition. The new name SANTEX RIMAR GROUP joins together the Swiss tradition of Santex with the Italian foresight which comes directly from Rimar founded by Giannino Marzotto in the Sixties as the Research & Development department of Marzotto Group, one of the world's leading textiles manufacturers.
SANTEX RIMAR GROUP is based on continuous global growth and innovative product development in textile finishing, nonwovens and technical textiles.

The long experience in the nonwovens sector is today utilised to fulfil the ever-increasing demands for efficiency and productivity where the oven technology in thermo-bonding process still plays an important role for different and flexible applications like home textiles, hygienic, medical or industrial products. SANTEX RIMAR GROUP can use a perfect synergy effect in combination with the Santashrink dryer for textile finishing under Santex brand.

The new Santatherm thermo bonding oven uses the so-called forced-through-air-mode, which is well established in Santashrink dryers. The air reaches a velocity of up to 40 m/s at the nozzle exit. The heat is transferred to the product surface in an even and effective manner.

All kind of fibres can be processed independent from the webforming process. The airflow is adjusted perfectly depending on the actual product with a special flap and nozzle system.

A user-friendly control system allows the selection of the airflow parameters, for example direction and kind of airflow. The most important quality feature of the new Santatherm is the uniform quality of the final product on both surfaces.

Efficient heat transfer and temperature stability result in a high productivity. Due to the modular design the machine is very compact enabling a fast installation and easy maintenance. As a result maintenance and service costs are very low. The Santatherm thermo bonding oven can be combined with the Santabond smoothing and calibrating calendar.

Together with the Cavitec coating and laminating systems Santex offers a wide range of solutions for nonwovens applications.

SANTEX RIMAR GROUP (Booth #1651) informs about latest solutions at IDEA16 in Boston.
