The fabric weight range that a Nonwoven Fabric Machine can produce can vary significantly based on the specific machine, its technical specifications, and the intended application. Nonwoven fabrics can be manufactured in a wide range of weights, often measured in grams per square meter (GSM) or ounces per square yard (OSY).
Nonwoven Fabric Machine can typically produce fabrics within a broad weight range, including:
Lightweight Fabrics: These can range from very light, such as 10 GSM (grams per square meter) or even less, and might be used in applications like disposable wipes, medical products, or lightweight packaging materials.
Medium-weight Fabrics: Ranging from approximately 20 GSM to 100 GSM, these fabrics find applications in hygiene products, filtration, certain medical textiles, and apparel.
Heavyweight Fabrics: Ranging from approximately 80 GSM to 300 GSM or higher, these fabrics are used in industrial applications, geotextiles, construction materials, and heavy-duty protective covers.
The specific fabric weight range a Nonwoven Fabric Machine can handle is influenced by various factors:
Machine Design and Capabilities: Each machine is engineered with specific capabilities that determine the range of fabric weights it can effectively produce.
Type of Fibers and Manufacturing Process: Different fibers and production methods may result in variations in the fabric weight range a machine can handle.
Machine Settings and Adjustments: Settings such as line speed, fiber distribution, and layering can significantly affect the weight of the produced fabric.
The versatility of Nonwoven Fabric Machines allows them to cover a wide range of fabric weights, though certain machines might be specialized for specific weight ranges based on their intended use or industry application.
