Go a step further with this 2-day advanced course to focus on understanding the various production parameters in nonwoven manufacturing, and how these can be used to modify product properties in the areas of meltblown and spunbond.
This course is part of the Nonwovens Learning Cycle™, organised in collaboration
with CETI (European Center for Innovative Textiles). The cycle offers an integrated approach to nonwovens
from the basics, to intermediate, to advanced courses.
Gain knowledge of spunlaid nonwoven products. Identify the impacts that the choice of raw materials can have, understand the spunbond, meltblown and spunmelt technology (limitation, shortcomings and solutions) as well as the vail consolidation processes (hydroliage, needling, oven, grille) and discover the different technological configurations during a live demonstration on the prototyping line at CETI.

End of course
Graduated as a Textile Engineer 15 years ago, she began her career in Hygiene Spunmelt manufacturer. She was in charge of technical support for the customers, competitive Intelligence and IP.
She has joined CETI since 2010 and participated in the selection process of melt spinning and nonwovens equipment and has been in charge of its implementation. Nowadays she manages as R&D Engineer both R&D private and consortium projects from filaments and fibres to prototypes production in Spunlaid & Drylaid nonwovens.
