International ClassD04H 001/48Foreign Application Priority Data1997-10-13 DKAbstractA plant serves as a mean for production of a fibre web of synthetic fibres, such as plastic fibres and absorbent fibres, such as viscose and cellulose fibres. The plant includes a forming head preliminary to lay a homogeneously and smoothly distributed fibre layer on a net shaped wire. Furthermore the plant includes a hydro-entangling section with liquid nozzles with powerful liquid jets to treat the in the forming head formed fibre layer, which consists of both synthetic--and absorbent fibres. The plant also includes an oven subsequently to thermal bond the synthetic fibres with cross bonds in the affected areas. Finally the dried web is winded up in a roller. By the help of the plant according to the invention, by higher production speed than known previously a fibre web can be produced, which is far cheaper, and which has a better and more homogeneous structure than similar conventional fibre webs.Field of SearchFiber entangling and interlockingBy fluid jet needling or perforating Through backing and support members To form perforations Projecting particles in a moving gas stream Utilizing diverse solid particles With reshaping or surface embossing of formed article With subsequent uniting of the particles Subsequent to lamination With formation of filaments With weaving, knitting, braiding, twisting or needling Heating lamina prior to assembly or adhesive applying Web forming Irregular, nonuniform, or patterned receiving surface Hydroentangled nonwoven fabric Autogenously bonded nonwoven fabric Inorganic strand or fiber material only Containing at least two chemically different strand or fiber materials | |
