WEB FORMING SYSTEM FOR SPUNLACE
/ ANDRITZ NONWOVEN / BCH CONFERENCE SEPTEMBER 2019 / © COPYRIGHT16
Lower speed ratio between main cylinder and
worker speed, means nicer final web
homogeneity.
Higher worker speed generates optimum fibre
distribution on the main cylinder.
This is in favour of a uniform aspect for the final
web.
