Abstract: The invention relates to a nonwoven unit comprising at least one nonwoven layer having at least one first layer and at least one second layer. The second layer is in the form of a nonwoven layer composed of continuous filaments. The average pore size of pores formed in the first layer is smaller than the average pore size of the pores between the filaments of the second layer. The second layer has functional particles which are embedded in the pores between the filaments of the second layer. The first layer forms a barrier preventing the penetration of particles or functional particles having a size greater than 150 ?m.

Abstract: A nonwoven fabric is made by spinning filaments and depositing them on an upstream mesh belt to form a first nonwoven web thereon. Then this nonwoven web on the upstream mesh belt is preconsolidated with hot air such that the nonwoven web has a strength in a machine direction of 0.5 to 5 N/5 cm. The preconsolidated nonwoven web is then transferred from the upstream mesh belt to a downstream mesh belt and is finally consolidated on the downstream mesh belt. A temperature of an upper surface of the downstream belt is higher than a temperature of an upper surface of the upstream mesh belt.

Abstract: A method of making a nonwoven from continuous filaments is provided. The method comprises the steps of spinning continuous filaments from a spinneret to move along a vertical travel path in a vertical travel direction, cooling and stretching the filaments downstream of the spinneret in a cooler and a stretcher, and depositing the cooled and stretched filaments at a deposition location on a foraminous belt moving horizontally underneath the cooler and stretcher and having an array of openings of which a portion are plugged with a sealing compound to create a partially plugged foraminous belt. The method comprises drawing air downward through unplugged openings in the foraminous belt to stabilize the continuous filaments deposited on the foraminous belt, and pre-consolidating the deposited nonwoven into final form.

Abstract: A nonwoven web is made by displacing an air-permeable mesh-belt conveyor in a horizontal travel direction and spinning and then depositing crimped continuous filaments as a web at a deposit region on the air-permeable mesh-belt conveyor. A first preconsolidation stage is provided downstream of the deposit region and a second preconsolidation separated by a suction gap from the first stage. Air is drawn air through the web and the conveyor at the deposit region at a first predetermined speed, the first and second consolidation stages at a second and third predetermined speeds, and at the suction gap either not at all or at a fourth predetermined equal to at most substantially less than the second predetermined speed.

Abstract: An apparatus for making a spunbond nonwoven laminate having a plurality of spunbond nonwoven layers has a row extending in a travel direction of two, three, or four spinning beams each emitting a multiplicity of multicomponent crimped continuous filaments with the filaments of each beam having a degree of crimp different from that of the filaments of each of the other beams. Respective extruders supply each beam with the components of the respective filaments and respective supply units feed each of the extruders with the respective components. The rate at which the components are supplied to the extruders is adjusted for varying the proportions of the components in each filament. A conveyor extends in the direction below the beams and receives the filaments as respective layers from the respective beams.
