The customer center and laboratory building with an area of 3,300m² includes machines for the nonwovens and man-made fiber section. For the man-made fiber sector, three melt spinning plants, one fiber line and one PET dryer with crystallizer are available.

The melt spinning lines are provided with annular spinnerets. The melt is produced in a single-screw extruder. Masterbatch can be added to the melt through a side stream.

Spinning system 1: Quench air flow from outside to inside for the 2-stage fiber process (can laying) for the production of single-component fibers.

Spinning system 2: Quench air flow from outside to inside for the 2-stage fiber process for the production of single-component and bi-component fibers.

Spinning system 3: Short spinning production line for the 1-stage fiber process passing the spun tow directly to the fiber processing line.

The fiber line has two drawing sections and one calender section for thermal treatment under tension in the front part. This is followed by two crimpers of different working widths, one dryer and one cutting unit for staple lengths of 4 mm and more.

The fiber line is designed for speeds of up to 400 m/min and tow sizes of up to 1 million denier. The melt spinning lines and the fiber line can be used for a multitude of different trial programs.
