Carding technology – mechanical web formation

Goals

• General Overview of Nonwovens:
Introduction to the world of nonwovens and their relevance in the textile industry.

• Fibre Types and Forms of Presentation:
Overview of different fibre types, their forms of presentation, and their influence on web and nonwoven formation as well as subsequent bonding.

• Basics of Fibre Preparation:
Explanation of basic functions and processes of fibre preparation as a preparatory step for carded web formation.

• Carded Web Formation Process:
Solid knowledge of the entire carding process – from fibre preparation to the finished web.

• Detailed Insight into the Carding Process: Mechanical processes and their influence on web quality.

• Tools for Nonwoven Web Formation:
Tools and machine elements used for web formation and their functions.

• Technical Features and Terms:
Key terms, definitions, and technical features of carding technology using carding machines.

• Fundamentals of Nonwoven Consolidation:
Basic understanding of nonwoven bonding processes using thermal, chemical, or mechanical methods. (More in-depth content on mechanical nonwoven bonding using needling is covered in Course 130, which can be combined with Course 140.)

• Technologies and Areas of Application:
Overview of other nonwoven processes and technologies as well as their typical areas of application.

Target Group

Based on our experience, this course is suitable for beginners or for specialists from other textile areas who are looking to refresh and expand their existing knowledge.

Prerequisites

No previous knowledge is required for this basics course. We do, however, recommend combining it with the “Textile chain” or “Fiber theory” courses, as well as “Felting Technology - mechanical web bonding".

Methodology

The training consists of an interactive presentation with a wide range of examples from practice and illustrated material. Detailed explanations on the roller card complete the training.
