X-Pro™ Crosslapper Sets New Standards in Production Speed
One of the major highlights at the exhibition will be the newly developed ANDRITZ X-Pro™ crosslapper, which introduces a significant advancement in crosslapping technology for needlepunch and spunlace production lines.
The machine delivers production speeds of up to 250 meters per minute, offering substantial improvements in throughput, fabric uniformity, and overall product quality.
Its innovative “X-path” design enables precise fiber control, reducing web distortion and ensuring consistent fiber distribution throughout the production process. The technology is fully compatible with the ProWin™ profile correction system, further enhancing operational efficiency and product consistency.
The X-Pro™ crosslapper is suitable for manufacturing a wide range of products, including:
- Technical textiles
- Geotextiles
- Filtration materials
- Automotive textiles
- Industrial wipes
The solution can be integrated into both new manufacturing lines and existing production facilities undergoing modernization.
