WPT Nonwovens shakes hands with Trützschler Nonwovens on a line for technical nonwovens

The American company WPT Nonwovens invests in a new thermobonding line for filter media. Trützschler Nonwovens teamed up with Schott & Meissner to deliver a state-of- the-art, high-capacity line including the T-BLEND fiber preparation system, two TWF-NC roller cards and Schott&Meissner’s high-speed “Speedliner” belt oven.

Air conditioning systems are not only an integral part of many buildings all over the world. They are vital components in cars, trucks, planes and other. Home and Vehicle Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems often rely on thermo- or through-air bonded nonwovens for air filtering.

WPT Nonwovens is a specialist not only for filtration media but also for nonwovens used in the medical, hygiene and industrial sectors. The US-based company started its business in 2008 and quickly became a trusted supplier of spunbonded, needle-punched, wet-laid and carded nonwovens.


To enable further growth, WPT Nonwovens now decided to invest in a new through-air bonding line. The Trützschler machinery has been selected to ensure reliable fiber preparation and web forming processes for various special, technically demanding filtration media. The proximity and excellent relationship to Trützschler USA finally convinced WPT Nonwovens to shake hands with Trützschler Nonwovens.

The start-up of the through-air bonding line is planned for the 3rd quarter 2023. Trützschler Nonwovens is proud to support WPT Nonwovens in supplying technical nonwovens to a demanding market

Energy efficiency in spunlacing

Drying is an important step for producing high-quality nonwoven products. But evaporating moisture at rapid speed is very energy intensive. That’s why their innovators created the Modular Performance Dryer (MPD). It delivers excellent performance and reduces energy consumption when drying cotton, viscose and pulp nonwovens. Its compact design saves floor space – and the MPD even fits into existing lines! The first successful installation of this flexible and future-proof solution is now cutting costs and supporting sustainability for their longstanding customer, Lentex.

Redefining nonwovens carding with the X-Series

Nonwoven textile producers are getting squeezed by two powerful forces. On one side, costs for energy and fibers are rising. On the other, customers demand increasing levels of quality, flexibility and sustainability. Two next-generation nonwoven cards from Trützschler are now easing that pressure – by improving performance, boosting resource-efficiency and giving nonwovens the X-factor!

New study shows low environmental impact by Cotton made in Africa Organic Cotton from Tanzania

Today, the Aid by Trade Foundation (AbTF) is announcing the results of a comprehensive life-cycle analysis (LCA) for cotton produced in Tanzania under the Cotton made in Africa Organic (CmiA Organic) standard. The study emphasises the small ecological footprint of CmiA Organic verified cotton. This can largely be traced back to the absence of synthetic pesticides, artificial fertilisers, and artificial irrigation. Consequently, CmiA Organic cotton can help the textile industry meet regulatory requirements as well as science-based targets. The results also show that the consequences of climate change threaten the livelihoods of these cotton farmers, even though the type of agriculture they practise barely contributes to climate change.
