Nonwoven Trim Handling System

Purpose

Collects edge trim from nonwoven production lines, renders trim into smaller pieces for handling, and delivers to scrap collectors for densification or baling.

Application

Manufacturing process that involve nonwoven roll goods.

Operation

Pick-up nozzles collect the edge trim from the production line and route it through either a blower, or a blower with an in-line cutter for size reduction. At that point, a diverter valve offers two options. The trim can be sent to a densification system for immediate processing, or it can be sent to a scap collector with a baler to be compacted for future use.
