Kansan and Dilo Forge Strategic Alliance for Advanced Hybrid Nonwoven Solutions
In a move that underscores the evolution of the global nonwoven industry, Kansan Group and Dilo Systems have announced a strategic partnership to deliver fully integrated nonwoven manufacturing solutions. This collaboration aims to meet rising demand for sustainable, customised, and high-performance nonwoven materials across diverse sectors.
Pioneers in Nonwoven Machinery
Kansan Group, known globally for its excellence in nonwoven converting and end-of-line systems, has broadened its capabilities under the brand Kansan Materials—with a strong emphasis on wetlaid nonwoven technology.
Dilo Systems, a leader in needling technologies and turnkey nonwoven production lines, brings deep engineering expertise from fibre preparation to web bonding, particularly for hygiene, medical, and technical textile markets.
Integrated Technology, Smarter Production
Together, Kansan and Dilo offer a comprehensive hybrid production platform, combining:
- Fibre preparation and carding
- Wetlaid web formation
- Hydroentanglement and needling lines
- Converting and finishing machinery
This synergistic setup enables producers to create advanced, multi-layered nonwovens—leveraging carded and wetlaid webs with needling or hydroentanglement for unmatched structural performance and efficiency.
Innovation Through Wetlaid & Needling Integration
At the core of Kansan’s advancements is a precision-engineered wetlaid process, powered by a proprietary headbox and inclined wire system. This hydrodynamic method enables:
- High absorbency
- Flushable end-products
- Compatibility with carded web layers for hybrid structures
When combined with Dilo’s CycloPunch and MicroPunch needling innovations, these hybrid materials gain exceptional dry strength and durability—ideal for demanding technical applications.
Dedicated Hybrid R&D Line
Kansan has developed a pilot-scale demonstration line tailored for:
- Material simulation and testing
- Operator-guided automation
- Process consistency and data-driven controls
This platform enables efficient scale-up from research to commercial production, helping manufacturers accelerate product development.
Driving a Greener Future
Together, Kansan and Dilo are setting new standards in nonwoven technology by focusing on:
- Sustainable and energy-efficient systems
- Water-saving and recycling innovations
- Customized machinery tailored to evolving market needs
These advancements support eco-conscious production without compromising performance or cost-efficiency.
Future-Ready Hybrid Configurations Include:
- Carded + Wetlaid + Needled
- Carded + Wetlaid + Hydroentangled
This partnership marks a new era for nonwoven manufacturing—where flexibility, functionality, and sustainability converge in hybrid production technologies.
