Not only the health market, but also many companies that are planning to enter the health market will choose other spinning and melting technologies. The advantage of this is not only small investment, but also flexibility in processing and raw material use. Enrico buriani, CEO of Radici Randic group, an industrial spunbond manufacturer, said: 'every customer is asking for differentiation, such as products of different weights, sizes and colors. When these parameters are needed, you need to be able to make the machine change quickly to achieve it. '

Radici randitsch group has been manufacturing spunbonded non-woven fabrics since 1995, and has always chosen Italian technology rather than Germany's reicofil leffen large production line. Although this technology does not provide the products with low weight and uniformity that are usually required by the health market, due to its flexible configuration, it can allow companies to provide small capacity for a series of markets. 'The technology we have, especially in the past five to ten years, has allowed us to narrow our focus on industrial applications,' buriani said. Our material is not uniform or light weight as required by the health market, but it does provide many advantages, such as better uniformity of mechanical properties, which you can understand as our opportunity to transform the weak points into us. ' Unlike some larger production lines, which are too large to handle frequent product switching, these devices provide the flexibility needed for industrial applications. Radici randidge can offer more than 150 colors, as well as different tones. 'If someone needs a product, but the order is only three tons, we can do it.'

Buriani added, 'every customer wants to get a different product, and we can adjust the machine parameters to meet them and help their business be more successful.' Radici randitsch's main market is roofs, which provide spunbond materials to form composite structures around breathable membranes. Other markets include automotive wrapping films, envelopes, airbags and agricultural non-woven fabrics. Radici Randic's new investment, the far è fari line, should be completed by the end of 2017, a two-component line with skin core technology that will allow the company to design new products with different performance. 'This is a new concept, but it is a new patented technology. The biggest advantage is energy saving, because it mainly depends on spunbond technology Buriani said.

'This investment will be key to the company's success, it can produce different quality products, one of the main markets is the tablecloth in restaurants,' buriani said 'The feel must be as close to the cloth as possible. People don't like the feeling of plastic cloth. The technology of two-component is indispensable because it can form core layer with solid material or non soft recycled material, and form cortex with softer fiber. This structure allows manufacturers to add lower cost or recycled materials to the core layer while maintaining a higher quality of the surface layer or parts in contact with customers. ' Stefano Colombo, sales manager of far é spa fari, said there has been an increasing demand for two-component production lines in recent years. These production lines allow non-woven material manufacturers to use a variety of polymers - polypropylene, polyamide, polyester / polyamide - while far é farry's other newly developed, traditional single-component lines are unable to produce new spunbond materials with these special properties.

'Bonding of two-component filaments can be done by heating, water flow, needling or hot air,' he explained. 'These products, which are produced in one-step process (from raw polymer to final coil), have similar or even better performance in some cases compared with the current two-step process, such as spunlace and hot air (fluffy) process.'. Far è farry's new technology enables the material to achieve the same high fluffy and softness as the hot air process, and can be applied in the health market. 'The market has responded positively to the application of new spunbond processes,

”Said Colombo. 'In fact, we have just received a new order from a European company currently active in the field of industry and health, ready to purchase a new two-component line.' (to be continued)
