The Process

Havivank has many years of experience in producing a full range of non-wovens.
Therefore all necessary production techniques are available.

Opening, mixing and blending.
The finer the opening and mixing of the fibres the better the product uniformity


Carding.
The best way to open the fibers and built an uniform structure is the classical carding technique. Therefor Havivank uses for the finest products the double carding technology.


Cross-lapping.
The fine web of oriented fibres that come from the card are folded in layers to give the final thickness and weight of the product.


Needling.
Thousands of barbed needles penetrate the fleece with high speed linking the fibres to create the desired structure, thickness and strength.


Multi-layers.
By combining layers of different materials products with additional properties can be created.
  • Soft layers on a strong backing
  • Voluminous fillers on wear resistance backing.
  • Sheets with adhesive coating.


Thermo-bonding / Calendering.
Additional volume or strength can be obtained when
synthetic fibres with low
melting point form extra structure in the web.


Cutting and Die-cutting.
Products can be supplied in rolls or sheets, or punched into desired shapes.
