Abstract: The invention relates to a device for hydroentangling and/or structuring webs that includes an suctioning rotating drum and a structured shell, including at least two rings which can be pushed on and attached to the drum, is disposed at a distance from the cylindrical surface of the drum around. A web can be at least partially looped around the structured shell. At least one water bar including a nozzle strip with a plurality of nozzles is arranged relative to the structured shell to entangle and/or to structure and/or to perforate the web by the water jets. The invention further relates to the structured shell.

Abstract: The invention relates to an installation and a method for selectively producing a single- or multi-ply nonwoven includes an inclined wire former configured to deposit a sheet of wet-laid fibre material on a first circulating belt, a further belt configured to receive the sheet of wet-laid fibre material from the first circulating belt, a roller card arranged downstream in the material transport direction and configured to introduce a roller card web into the installation, a hydroentanglement arranged downstream in the material transport direction and including at least one water beam configured to entangle, bond and/or structure a single sheet of fibres or a plurality of sheets of fibres, and a dryer arranged downstream in the material transport direction.

Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus and method for hydrodynamic entanglement of non-wovens, wovens and knits, comprising an entanglement system having at least one water bar and a drum or endless belt, between which a fibre web is transported and entangled. The invention is characterised in that before the water bar, seen in the running direction of the fibre web, there is arranged a compacting device, which compresses the fibre web on the drum or endless belt.

Abstract: In a foulard for applying a binder to a gauze, fleece or preliminary fleece, having at least one first roll, which can be rotated about a first roll axis and has an engraved roll sleeve, at least one second roll, which can be rotated about a second roll axis and has a roll sleeve, and wherein the gauze, the fleece or the preliminary fleece runs between the first and second rolls, the roll sleeve of the second roll has a preferably groove-shaped engraving.

Abstract: A device (1,3) for perforating a non-woven fabric (22, 26, 28, 34) by means of hydrodynamic needling is proposed, having a first carrier element (12, 40) with a carrier surface (14, 42), wherein the first carrier surface (14, 42) has first elevations and first perforations (4, 4?, 4?) as drainage openings and wherein the non-woven fabric (22, 26, 28, 34) for processing can be placed on the first carrier surface (14, 42) having at least a first nozzle bar (24, 24?, 36, 36?) comprising openings, wherein fibres of the non-woven fabric (22, 26, 28, 34) arranged on the first carrier surface (14, 42) which are arranged on the first elevations of the first carrier surface (14, 42) can be flushed down from the elevations by means of liquid (3) emerging under high pressure from the openings of the first nozzle bar (24, 24?, 36, 36?), such that perforations (4, 4?, 4?) are created in the non-woven fabric (22, 26, 28, 34), and wherein a second carrier element (14, 42) is provided, having second elevations and second per
