Biax-Fiberfilm Company of Greenville, WI is expanding its production of melt - brown nonwoven fabrics - fabrics used to produce N95 masks and medical protective clothing through the purchase of Kimberly-Clark factory. old in Neenah, to expand the production area. The facility being built will be a combination of old technology and newly developed technology of Biax-Fiberfilm.
"At present, we are running two lines continuously at Neenah with 5 times the capacity," said Douglas Brown, president of Biax-Fiberfilm. “The acquisition of the old Kimberly-Clark factory in Neenah to expand the production scale with some common machines (usually long-time machines) will help us increase the output quickly. This facility will be a combination of old technology and newly developed technology of Biax-Fiberfilm ”.
The company expects the new production facility to start operating in early June. With Brown's patented technology and the partnership with Reifenhauser, a world-leading equipment supplier, The technology transfer process will be very convenient. Three 60 inch wide production lines have been planned. Greenville's manufacturing facility is producing melt-blown nonwoven fabric and fabric production using the patented spun-blown system, fabric produced by this technology is currently only a few factories on world produced. Fabric output is enough to produce 35 million masks a day.
These complex nonwoven fabrics consist of synthetic fibers that are stretched under the action of hot air and pressed flatly to create nonwoven rolls to produce masks. Fabrics must meet standards and be quality controlled during production. "Our fabrics are used in facemasks, doctor's protective equipment and filter materials," Brown said. "The key is easy to breathe, but the structure must be tight to prevent the virus."
Mr. Brown believes that with hot air stretching and spinning technology to form a fiber membrane combined with new ideas being developed, “the biodegradable microfiber and microfiber components of R&D department, Biax-Fiberfilm will take the lead in developing this new technology. ”
