The new lines strengthen Alar’s capacity to produce high-quality nonwovens and support the development of a more resource-efficient and sustainable ecosystem for the region’s hygiene and medical industries.

The neXline spunlace lines from ANDRITZ process viscose and/or cotton fibers to produce nonwoven fabrics that meet stringent quality requirements for hygiene and medical end uses. The lines deliver excellent web uniformity, strong tensile properties, and high production rates, enabling Alar to meet the growing market demand. The latest Profile™ crosslappers help reduce operating costs by ensuring even fiber distribution. 

Xueyan Li, General Manager of Alar Silk Road New Materials, said: “Since production began in November, the lines have been operating reliably and safely. We are continuing to optimize processes and energy use to further increase efficiency and create greater value for our customers.”

Quanzhi Feng, Chairman of Alar Silk Road New Materials, added: “The partnership with ANDRITZ has exceeded our expectations. The first line was commissioned in record time, demonstrating the professionalism of the ANDRITZ team. This gives us great confidence as we continue to expand our production capacity.”

ANDRITZ will continue to support Alar in further advancing its operations. The two companies plan to deepen their cooperation in innovation, digitalization, and energy efficiency to implement Alar’s goals and contribute to sustainable industrial development in the Xinjiang region.
