Global technology group ANDRITZ has announced the launch of its latest innovation in nonwovens manufacturing technology, the neXloom elliptica type DF-4 needleloom, through an official announcement on the company’s LinkedIn page. Designed specifically to enhance visual surface quality, this advanced pre-needling solution represents a significant leap forward in nonwoven fabric production.

In today’s performance-driven and visually discerning nonwovens market, surface quality is not merely an aesthetic concern—it is a hallmark of product excellence. The neXloom elliptica DF-4 addresses this requirement head-on, combining optimized fiber entanglement with technical enhancements that preserve both the appearance and functionality of delicate and high-end materials.

Developed for premium applications such as automotive interiors, synthetic leather, and technical felts, the machine offers several standout features:

• Enhanced surface finish through optimized and uniform fiber entanglement.

• Mark-free processing enabled by the unique “one needle per hole” design.

• Superior fabric appearance even at high production speeds.

• Reduced web stretching—up to 30–50% less during the initial needling phase—especially beneficial for producing very light felts.

•  

The neXloom elliptica DF-4 reflects ANDRITZ’s ongoing commitment to providing high-precision, flexible, and performance-oriented solutions tailored to the evolving demands of the global nonwovens sector. By focusing on both the technical and visual aspects of product development, ANDRITZ continues to support manufacturers in delivering premium, market-ready materials that meet the expectations of today’s most demanding end-use applications.
