Nonwoven Technology Guides
Buyers rarely start with a machine model number. They start with a process — needle punching, thermal bonding, spunlace — and work backwards to the equipment. These guides explain each major nonwoven production technology in plain terms: how the line is put together, where it fits, and what to weigh up before you buy.
The guides marked as KSG line technologies cover processes we design, build, and install ourselves. The others are honest primers on technologies we're often asked about — useful when you're deciding which route your product actually needs. Wherever a guide touches machinery we manufacture, it links straight to the equipment pages.
Needle Punching
Complete dry-laid needle punch lines, from fibre opening through finishing, engineered and installed by one team.
Carding
The card sets the ceiling on fabric quality, so we build the carding section and the line around it as one system.
Cross Lapping
The machine that turns a light carded web into a full-weight batt, laid evenly across the whole width.
Winding and Converting
Winding, slitting and sheeting equipment that turns a good web into rolls you can actually ship.
Thermal Bonding
Heating roll and through-air bonding dryer lines for low-melt fibre webs, engineered and installed by one team.
PP Nonwoven Lines
Complete dry-laid lines for polypropylene staple fibre, engineered around what PP actually does on the card.
Spunbond
What a spunbond line actually is, and how to decide between it and the dry-laid staple-fibre lines KSG builds.
Meltblown
How meltblown microfibre is made, where it wins, and when a needle-punched dry-laid filter fabric is the smarter buy.
Spunlace
What a hydroentangling line actually does, where it fits against needle punching, and the carded web that feeds both.
Airlaid
How air forming builds a web from short fibres and pulp, where it suits absorbent products, and where a carded dry-laid line does the same job.
