H1 - needling zone

      








Technical features

   The principle of H1 technology is the idea that superior web    properties can be attained through oblique angled needle    penetration. Such penetration is achieved by means of an    asymmetrically curved needling zone and straight needle    movement.


Advantages

 - A longer needle path through the web creates better fibre    orientation.
 - Randomisation can be attained far earlier without an increase in    draft as a result of fibre reorientation.
 - By the employment of the H1 technology higher strength, density    and delamination values can be reached.
 - The asymmetric curve of the perforated plate prevents web flutter,    while simultaneously providing controlled needling, increased web    stability and reduced width shrinkage


Applications

   Machines using H1 technology are mainly employed where web    stability, a 1:1 MD/CD ratio and high end product strength are of    decisive importance, e.g. for geotextiles, synthetic leather, filters,    shoe linings, automotive textiles and papermaker felts.
