Pre-needling

  • the first step in pre-needling is to compress the fibre batt without delamination and to bring the loose fibre as close as possible to the first rows of needles
  • the key to product evenness
  • for single or double board neeleloom set-up

PA cylinder tacker

  • 2 perforated cylinders compressing the fibre batt
  • 2 needle boards top and bottom with elliptic movement following the cylinder’s rotation
  • draft free pre-needling as the fibre batt is at its maximum compression
  • horizontal advance pitch equal to product linear speed
  • suitable for heavy products, even above 2000 gsm
