The REICOFIL® composite process combines melt blown and spunbonding technology into one line. The target in developing the process was to meet the product requirements that could not be fulfilled by the respective individual processes. For example, melt blown fabric has excellent barrier properties and a high degree of coverage even at low grammage, but has poor wear properties and tensile strength. These disadvantages of melt blown fabric can be compensated by the spunbonded fabric in a
spunbonded/melt
blown/spunbonded
structure.
Primary process
characteristics:
 |
Modular structure of the spunbonding and melt blown components |
|
Common operating console for all spinning stations |
|
Common high-speed spinning belt for all spinning
stations. |
|
High-speed winding system with downstream
slitter/rewinder |
Approx. 40% of all melt blown fabric is manufactured as pure melt blown fabric, the rest is used in composites with spunbonded fabric or in laminates with film.
