Abstract: The present invention relates to the manufacturing equipment for web materials comprising fibers and particulate material, to a process of operating such an equipment and to particular materials resulting therefrom. Coaxially meltblown fibres are combined with a stream of particulate or short fiber material and the resulting commingled mixture is deposited onto a collector. The meltblown fibers are formed by nozzles which are divided into two or more sub-arrays configured to produce two or more different types of fiber, having e.g. different diameters and/or polymer composition.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a particular execution for a die block for spun-blowing process for forming a fibers or filaments that may further form a spun-blown web or nonwoven comprising such a formed fibrous web, e.g. as a layer in a multi-layer composite web. The die block comprises a spinneret block with unitary spinneret body and nozzles.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a particular execution for a die block for spun-blowing process for forming a fibers or filaments that may further form a spun-blown web or nonwoven comprising such a formed spun-blown web, e.g. as a layer in a multi-layer 5 composite web. The die block comprises nozzles that are readily removable, and preferably chamfered.

Abstract: The present invention is an absorbent mat, such as a bed pad or a change mat, e.g. for protecting an underlying support from soiling, as well as method for the formation of such a pad or mat. The mat has laterally extending wings, that are connected to each other by a tear-open section in a manufacturing configuration, that is opened to create the use configuration.

Abstract: The present invention is a novel improved process and apparatus for making polymeric fibers and combining these with cellulosic fibers so as to form a fibrous-containing nonwoven, and in particular fibrous material containing spunmelt nonwoven.

Abstract: The present invention is an absorbent mat, such as a bed pad or a change mat, e.g. for protecting an underlying support from soiling, with a perimeter seal to prevent side-way leakage, as well as method for the formation of such a pad or mat.

Abstract: Improved system for batching and expelling first and second stacks (10, 20) consisting of a predetermined number of clips (3) of disposable wipes from a main production line (S, 5), including at least a first grouping device (100, 200) that counts the clips (3) and transfers the stacks (10, 20) from the main production line (S, 5) to a first diverted conveyor line (A, 6) parallel to the main one, characterized in that it includes at least a second grouping device (100, 200), placed downstream from the first one, which counts the clips (3) and transfers the stacks (10, 20) from the main production line (S, 5) to a second diverted conveyor line (B, 7), parallel to the main line (S, 5), in which the first diverted conveyor line (A, 6) develops at a level lower than the second diverted conveyor line (B, 7).

Abstract: A stacking device suitable to pack multi-layer packets composed of a specific number of groups of disposable wipes includes: a tamper provided with an alternating vertical translation movement; a supporting surface of the groups having two guides separated by an empty space of lesser width than that of the groups, inside which the groups pass under the thrust of the tamper; at least a belt to drive and convey the groups; a lowerator member for receiving the groups stacked in packets, to transfer them to a secondary collection belt for conveying the packets to a packaging line, wherein each guide includes a fixed part and a moving part, each moving part being connected to elements suitable to generate an alternating horizontal translation movement, synchronized with the alternating vertical translation movement of the tamper, so as to increase the empty space during passage of the groups.
