  1. INNOVATIONS IN NEEDLE PUNCHING – MEDICAL TEXTILES

  2. Textiles used for hygiene & health care operations. MEDICAL TEXTILES

  3. Constituent Element of Medical Textile Product Polymers Fibres Yarns Woven Knitted Braided Non-woven Fabrics Textile Medical Products

  4. Healthcare & Hygiene Products Extracorporeal Devices Implantable Materials Non- implantable Materials CLASSIFICATION - Application

  5. HEALTHCARE & HYGIENE NONWOVEN PRODUCTS

  6. HEALTHCARE & HYGIENE NONWOVEN PRODUCTS

  7. Non-Implantable Material – Nonwoven Products

  8. Non-Woven Property – Medical Applications • Porosity • Weight of fabric • Thickness • Nonwovens are easy to sterilize • Various Manufacturing technique options according to applications • Economical Manufacturing Process

  9. Non-Woven • Nonwovens are webs made of fibres / Polymers – Web Forming • For End-use application – Web Bonding • Web Bonding Methods can be • Mechanical • Needle Punching • Spunlace • Thermal • Chemical

  10. NEEDLE PUNCHING TECHNOLOGY

  11. Fibre – Opening & Blending Nonwoven Carding Cross-Lapping Pre-Needle Loom Finish Needle Loom Winding & Cutting NEEDLE PUNCHING FLOWCHART

  12. FIBRE OPENING & BLENDING

  13. NON-WOVEN CARDING

  14. NEEDLE FELT TECHNOLGY • Felting needles penetrate through crosslapped fibre batt • Barbs of felting needles catch and transport fibres • By means of this fibres entangle, fibre batt consolidates and needle felt with strength properties is created

  15. LAYOUT FIBRE OPENING & BLENDING NONWOVEN CARD CROSS LAPPER NEEDLE LOOM

  16. 3 – D Structure Composites. Extremely High Densities High Strength - Geo-Textile Fabrics Superior Filtration Properties - World’s Filtration Media WHY NEEDLE PUNCHED FABRICS !

  17. Major Applications – So Far • Automotives • Geo-Textiles • Filtration materials • Wipes • Synthetic Leather

  18. Floor coverings & Wall coverings Roofing felts Blankets Decoration felts Paper machine felts Major Applications –So Far

  19. INNOVATIONSHyper Lacing with Cyclopunching

  20. CYCLOPUNCHING • Translatory & Circular Moving path – New Kinematical Concept • High Density Needling - Individual Fibre transport • Small Dimensional Changes & distortion in the fabric plane.

  21. Minimum GSM – 25 Card Feed – Vento Feed DELTA CARD HYPER LAYER Minimum GSM – 80 Card Feed – Chute Feed Servo or Super Servo Card Horizontal Cross Lapper HYPER LACING Vs Std Web Formation

  22. DELTA CARD

  23. Economic Considerations Working Width : 2.5 Mtr, Production Speed : 100 Mtr / Min Final Product Weight : 50 GSM, Final Product Output : 750 Kg / Hr

  24. Cyclopunch – Application Areas • Medical Products : Gowns, Drapes, Cover sheets, Towels, Wound Dressings, Wet Tissue, Pads • Sanitary Products : Baby Wipes • Household and Industrial Wipes, Car Wipes • Home Furnishings : Table Cloths, Napkins, Interlings, Coating Substrates, Synthetic Leather • Automotive Applications : Headliner, Interior Trim • Filtration Material

  25. Hyperlacing

  26. U.S.MARKET POTENTIAL

  27. U.S.MARKET POTENTIAL

  28. US TRADE of NONWOVENS.xls

  29. Consumption on Different Categories of Medical Textiles

  30. ROAD AHEAD • Enough Awareness on Technology & Potential • Time to TPI • Product – Market – Flexibility • Our Role – Right Technology – Cont. Technical Support – Project Implementation

  31. Traditional to TechnicalDiversify - Flourish Thank you
