In a remarkable demonstration of collaborative engineering and technical innovation, O.R.V. MANUFACTURING S.P.A., Texnology s.r.l., and Trützschler Nonwovens have successfully completed a milestone R&D trial at Trützschler’s Technical Center in Egelsbach, Germany. This high-stakes two-day trial marked a significant step toward the development of next-generation filtration products designed to meet complex industrial requirements.
Meeting Complexity with Precision
The trial tackled an ambitious scope, involving:
- 11 different fibers ranging from 1 to 40 Dtex
- 7 distinct fiber blends
- 11 product variations from 25 gsm to 850 gsm
To meet these challenges, the team leveraged Trützschler’s T-Suprema needle punching line, a solution that demonstrated exceptional versatility and precision throughout the process. The success of the trial underlined the T-Suprema’s ability to adapt to complex product parameters and customize performance to specific client demands.
Engineering at Its Best
Trützschler Nonwovens’ engineering team worked in close coordination with O.R.V.’s production and R&D units, ensuring real-time problem-solving and solution implementation. According to the team, the trial not only validated the capabilities of the T-Suprema line but also laid the groundwork for one of Europe’s largest filtration production lines – a significant leap forward for the nonwovens sector.
What’s Next?
The development journey continues with upcoming stages focused on thermofixation and finishing, where the collaborative teams aim to fine-tune the final properties of the filtration media. The partnership, rooted in technical synergy and a shared commitment to innovation, is expected to shape the future of high-performance filtration products across Europe and beyond.
