As we know, Non-Woven fabric has created a huge demand all over the world due to its eco-friendly process. Non-woven fabric is a thermoplastic material with excellent comprehensive properties. it has a low density, easy to produce, and has low production cost. It can be widely used in the medical and health industry, home decoration, agriculture, automobile industry, and other fields. 

The most significant advantage of the Non-Woven Making Machine is the production capacity. The machine can produce a huge quantity of nonwoven fabrics easily compared to the traditional method. Therefore, there is a demand for non-woven-making machines. But how can you choose the right type of Non-Woven Machine for your product to start this business? 

Next, We will introduce the production process of the non-woven machine and raw material feeding, helping you to get basic information about nonwoven machines, thereby, you can choose the right type of Non-Woven Machine for your product.

What is the Non-Woven Machine?

Usually, a non-woven-making machine is a state-of-the-art machine that feeds, extrudes, sprays, and forms a web. Spunbond and melt blown are the most common processing methods in the nonwoven machine.

So, Do you know how nonwoven machine manufactures spun bond and melt-blown nonwoven? They are similar in most processes but very different in fiber stretching. So the structure and properties of the fibers and fabrics are totally different. Let’s take a look at the  Spunbond and melt-blown process methods in the nonwoven fabric machine.

Spun bonding process

In the spun bonding process, fabrics are produced directly from a thermoplastic polymer such as polyester, nylon, polypropylene, or polyethylene. The molten polymer is extruded through a spinneret, cooled slightly in the air, and laid on a moving conveyor belt to form a continuous web. As the web cools, the fibers bond. Spunbond fabrics are characterized by tensile, tear, and burst strengths, elongation-to-break, weight, thickness, porosity, and stability to heat and chemicals. Spunbond products are employed in carpet backing, geotextiles, and disposable medical/hygiene products. Since fabric production is combined with fiber production, the process is generally more economical than when using staple fiber to make nonwoven fabrics.

Melt blown process

The melt-blown method is mainly to melt the high polymer with the screw extruder, and then blow it with a high-temperature air flow at a certain speed to stretch the melt stream to form ultra-fine fibers, which are collected on the web-forming curtain or web-forming roller.  A processing technique in which a fiber web is formed and then bonded to form a nonwoven fabric.  The advantage of melt-blown nonwovens is that the fiber diameter is small and the specific surface area is small, which is beneficial to improve filtration efficiency.

The Materials for making non-woven fabrics

Polyester and polypropylene are ideal materials for making non-woven fabrics. Polyester has higher requirements for non-woven fabric machines. Polypropylene is suitable for all non-woven machines.

Polyester is widely used in the production of spun-bond or melt-blown nonwovens. Its fabric is strong, lightweight, dyeable, and wrinkle-free. It also has good wash resistance. Polyester is extracted from petrochemical resources. So it was cheap.

How to Choose the right type of Non-Woven Machine for your product?

I'm sure you now have a further understanding of nonwoven machines and it's time to choose the suitable machine types for your products. It's generally up to your products and daily demands. The non-woven machine includes four types, S Model, SS Model, SSS Model, SSMS Model, SMMS Model, SSMMS Model, PET(PLA) Model, and Meltblown Models. For example, SSMS Model is for the nonwoven fabric of as hygiene & medical industry to make masks, protection gowns, bed sheets, drapes, shoe covers and etc. Look at the details of Our Non-woven fabric machine to help you choose the right one.
