AUTEFA Solutions' comprehensive range of nonwoven needlepunch production lines are tailored to meet specific customer requirements. These lines offer exceptional performance, reliability and quality. Needle punching is renowned for its ease of operation, low energy consumption, consistent product quality and reduced operating costs.

This critical data is used as the basis for real-time adjustments in the crosslapper and card infeed section, ensuring remarkably consistent distribution of the carded web.

WebMax profiling for precision: AUTEFA Solutions' WebMax web profile control system is seamlessly integrated into the 3-level closed loop control system. This integration ensures uniform web profiling in both machine direction and cross direction, a distinctive edge treatment that would reduce edge-related problems and extend felt life.
