Engineered Fibre Mat Production Line and Equipment

The TTS airlaid (air-forming) nonwoven production line is capable of converting both long (natural and synthetic) fibres and short wood fibres into nonwoven products. EDANA estimate that only 10% of nonwovens worldwide are produced with similar airlaid technology.

Canadian Forest Products Ltd. (Canfor) originally established this nonwoven production line for the production of automotive composites. The front end of the production line (see below) was designed by DOA (www.angleitner-doa.at), which is widely recognized as the market leader in the production of airlaid nonwovens equipment.

The back end is a unique technology customized and designed by TTS for short fibre (wood). TTS owns the design for the unique back-end of the processing technology.

This plant line is very unusual in that it was designed to process both long fibres and short wood fibres. Although there are some similar lines are operating in Europe using wood fibres to produce such products as automotive composites and insulation, TTS’ line is extremely flexible and has the capability to produce a far wider range of nonwoven products.

Mini Production Lines

Mini Engineered Fibre Mat Line

TTS currently has a smaller scale production line of its engineered fibre mat production line set up in its Edmonton laboratory that has a capacity of 50 tons per day and which can produce engineered fibre mats that are identical to those that will be produced from the pilot plant in Drayton Valley.

Fibre mats offer innovative solutions for many industrial applications and can serve as sustainable building product options for insulation. Fibre mats also have various applications for erosion control in the form of geomats. More research is being conducted through the BioComposites Group to explore the possibilities.
