Products & Services
AUTEFA Solutions is a leading supplier of machinery and systems for the nonwovens industry. With innovative technologies and customized solutions, AUTEFA Solutions offers a wide range of products and services aimed at maximizing production efficiency and quality.
Nonwoven production lines can be complex and diverse, producing an extraordinary variety of materials. These include artificial leather, filter media, boot liners and headliners, geotextiles, floor coverings, insulation and sound absorbing fabrics, and of course hygiene products. Raw materials include man-made fibers such as PP, PES, PA, PAN, PTF and viscose, as well as glass and carbon fibers and natural fibers such as flax, hemp, jute, wool and cotton. The range of product parameters is enormous: from very light fabrics of only 10 g/m² to heavy fabrics of up to 9000 g/m².
The main trends in the nonwovens industry - high productivity combined with low maintenance costs and high flexibility for different nonwoven products - increase the demand for high quality machines from AUTEFA Solutions. The main feature of AUTEFA Solutions production lines is their outstanding flexibility, which enables nonwovens producers to produce a wide variety of products and truly unique fabrics. AUTEFA Solutions is a full-line supplier in all leading nonwovens technologies, from "bale to fabric".

Advanced Needle Punching Lines
The Web Master FUTURA card combines the proven quality of the established Web Master cards with relevant developments focusing on functional aspects and maintenance. This premium machine has been specifically designed and engineered for high production speeds to meet the needs of nonwoven lines worldwide. A unique design allows easy access to all parts of the card: this feature guarantees significantly reduced cleaning and maintenance times, together with much higher operating efficiency. The Web Master FUTURA with double intermediate doffers is characterized by high web quality, high production and gentle fiber treatment for highest carding and blending effects.
Topliner crosslappers increase both web uniformity and throughput speeds. The Topliner crosslappers, in combination with the WebMax web profile control and the CLOSED LOOP system, prevent the increased weight of the fabric in the edge areas, the so-called smile effect. This results in excellent fabric uniformity and, thanks to significant material savings, a reduction in material costs. These features are particularly important for lightweight applications on spunlace lines or for heavyweight applications on carpet and geotextile lines. A new or replacement investment with the Crosslapper Topliner always leads to an improvement in quality and production.
Needle punching machines from AUTEFA Solutions combine Fehrer's know-how and long experience with the latest technology and offer optimum solutions for any kind of needling requirements, as single machines or integrated in complete lines:
Variliptic drive concept
NL drive concept
Machine speeds in excess of 3000 rpm in continuous operation
Working widths up to 16 m
Needle densities up to 30000 needles per meter
Aerodynamic web forming lines
AUTEFA Solutions Airlay Card V12 in combination with Stylus Needle Loom or HiPerTherm Oven meets all customer requirements for maximum productivity and consistent high quality. Suitable for all types of bonding processes such as thermal, chemical or needle bonding. Airlay solutions are characterized by highest product quality, economical production and reliability. With more than 500 systems sold worldwide, customers benefit from F.O.R.'s many years of experience in carding and card feeding technology and Fehrer K 12's world-renowned expertise in aerodynamic web formation. In the construction, residential and automotive markets, efficient thermal and acoustic insulation materials are key factors in saving energy and reducing the consumption of natural resources. The increased opening capacity is characteristic for a wide range of different fibers. The process offers particular advantages for lighter weights and high loft fabrics. The FUTURA design allows easy opening and quick access for cleaning and maintenance. The various line components are mounted on a linear guide system. The modular structure of the individual components allows a modular configuration of the machine according to the customer's requirements. Together with the needle punching maschine Stylus and the HiPerTherm thermobonding oven, AUTEFA Solutions offers aerodynamic web forming lines from a single source.
Energy-efficient spunlace and wetlaid/spunlace lines
AUTEFA Solutions offers complete lines for the production of direct and crosslapped spunlace products. The web forming process, consisting of the Injection Card and Crosslapper Topliner series, is the key to high and consistent web quality. The main challenge in high speed web forming lines for spunlace is to keep the fibers under control at all times and process stages. The AUTEFA Solutions Injection Card enables (drylaid) web forming at very high production rates. The Injection Card uses a combination of mechanical and aerodynamic principles for gentle fiber treatment. The Injection Card delivers a high quality web at the highest production with a better MD/CD. With the Topliner CL4006 SL AUTEFA Solutions offers a crosslapper with special features for the spunlace application. Highest layering speeds and precise weight distribution are possible thanks to the integrated drafting unit, the compensation belt, the antistatic equipment and the newly designed transport aprons.
Wetlaid - Spunlace is the technology of choice when it comes to sustainable and cost effective nonwovens made from 100% cellulosic raw materials such as pulp, viscose or lyocell. With the challenge of rising energy costs and higher costs for raw materials and other production resources, wetlaid - spunlace products produced on energy efficient and reliable machine technology are the answer. The cooperation between AUTEFA Solution, offering new and energy saving spunlace technology, and PAMA Paper Machinery, expert in wetlaid technology for special applications in paper, is a perfect match.

Thermobonding lines
AUTEFA Solutions HiPerTherm Thermobonding oven with the proven double nozzle system is still the machine of choice when it comes to thermal bonded materials from airlay- lines and card-crosslapping lines. There is a growing demand in high speed through air thermobonding lines for hygiene products such as acquisition and distribution layers (ADL). These materials are used in baby diapers, sanitary napkins and adult incontinence products. The key strengths of the AUTEFA Solutions belt dryers are uniform airflow and the precisely adjustable temperature distribution, the ability to maintain loft or to create high densities.
