AUTEFA Solutions at Index 2023 – Technical innovations and customer service on a new level

© 2023 Autefa
At INDEX in Geneva from April 18-21, 2023, AUTEFA Solutions will showcase its latest technical developments in the field of nonwoven production technology. The focus is not only on classic mechanical engineering with its ambitions for higher-faster-further, but also on the protection of resources and on excellent, individual customer support within the scope of the "Assessment for Thermal Systems".

Water - the source of life - is the basis of the spunlace process that AUTEFA has been actively developing for years. The company’s wide product range offers cutting-edge technology for web forming as well as hydroentanglement and finally, drying of the produced nonwovens.

Higher speed and productivity in the spunlace process....

Web forming by AUTEFA Injection Card and Crosslapper CL 4006 SL, with its globally proven and widely used technology, has provided a great advantage for AUTEFA customers to maintain or expand their leading position, especially in the highly competitive Spunlace market. This is guaranteed by increased productivity through higher speeds and improved line efficiency.

AUTEFA Solutions Injection card enables web forming at very high production capacities. The Injection Card uses a combination of mechanical and aerodynamic principles for a gentle fiber treatment. This reduces the mechanical stress applied to the fiber and provides maximum capacity with low fiber damage. Accordingly, the Crosslapper Topliner CL4006 SL, with WebMax web profile control and CLOSED LOOP system, provides the best homogeneity at high laying speeds.

...with resource conservation and energy savings at the same time?

AUTEFA also focuses on energy and resource conservation in the spunlace process. With the unique combination of V-Jet FUTURA for hydroentanglement and the SQ-V Square Drum Dryer for drying, energy consumption in the spunlace process can be reduced up to 30%. The specially developed V-Jet Injector with reduced distance from the nozzle outlet to the web, also enables our customers to modernize existing production lines and thereby contribute to energy and resource conservation.



Autefa: "We show how it's done!"

AUTEFA underlines they have been more than just a machine manufacturer for a long time. They are a solution provider for the nonwovens sector. With various process assessments, AUTEFA optimize production processes on customer site. A team of experts will provide competent advice regarding energy efficiency, potentials for increasing production capacity as well as improving product quality.

Take the chance to get into dialogue with us at the Index 2023. Our experts are waiting for you at booth 1614 to develop with you the individual solution for your improved production of tomorrow!

“Needle punching technology is more universal and sustainable than ever!”

Needle punching technology was long regarded as a rather traditional and comparatively slow technology within the nonwovens industry. In this interview, Johann Philipp Dilo explains why needle punching is more relevant than ever today – ranging from energy efficiency and resource conservation to hygiene applications, new machine concepts and design-oriented nonwoven solutions.

Textile climate control system in workwear – exhibition at the 2026 SME Innovation Day!

Conventional protective workwear often reaches its limits during strenuous physical activity. In particular, the transport of sweat and excess body heat poses a problem. The German Institutes of Textile and Fiber Research (DITF) conducted research on flow-optimized, air-conducting textile structures that enable targeted climate control directly on the body. These structures can be integrated straight into protective work garments. The textile climate control system supports the body’s natural thermoregulation. This contributes to improved workplace safety and comfort.

PET spunbond from China – EDANA welcomes imposition of provisional anti-dumping measures

On 13 May 2026, after eight months of investigation, the European Commission imposed provisional anti-dumping duties of 45.6-50.0% on imports of PET spunbond from China. EDANA welcomes this expression of the Commission’s clear determination to protect EU industries from the unfair trade practices of Chinese producers.
