Dust and airlaid nonwoven textiles
Dust from manufacturing
Dust from different types of manufacturing, e.g. the wood and textile industries, is usually collected by vacuum systems or disposed off in big-bags.
When dust is compacted, the structure of the dust fibres is broken so that it loses its soft structure and becomes ‘dead’ instead of circulating in the air and can then fall down into a container.
With a RUNI Screw Compactor directly under a cell lock, the dust can also be compacted directly into endless plastic bags and thereby takes up significantly less space than loose dust in a big-bag.
Airlaid textiles
Airlaid non-woven textiles are used for e.g. disposable nappies, sanitary towels, meat packaging and as a packaging material. In order to reduce the fire hazard during production of these textiles it is important to be able to control the textile dust in the production premises.
Both dust and off-cuts are blown over to a RUNI Screw Compactor where the air pressure is removed using a cell lock and the material falls down into the closed hopper.
During compacting, the textile fibres are changed so that their soft structure is removed and the compacted material can fall directly down into a container. If the material is very dry, it can alternatively be compacted directly into endless plastic bags.
