Question 1

What are neps and why do they matter?

Accepted Answer

Neps are small knots of tangled fibres, which appear during tearing and reduce fibre quality. In quality nonwovens, neps are undesirable. A textile tearing and carding system removes the neps through carding, producing a clean and uniform fibre, suitable for demanding applications.

Question 2

Why add carding to tearing?

Accepted Answer

Carding aligns the fibres individually, removes the neps and produces a fibre with an excellent fibre effect, far superior to fibre that has only been torn. A textile tearing and carding system produces a fibre suitable for reintroduction into the manufacture of quality nonwovens, not just inferior applications such as fillings.

Question 3

Is the system specialised for certain materials?

Accepted Answer

Yes, a textile tearing and carding system is specialised for processing spunlace and air-through cloth waste, in particular the irregular edges (edge trim). These nonwoven materials have particular characteristics, and the system is designed to process them efficiently into reusable nep-free fibre.

Question 4

Is the equipment delivered new?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We deliver new, unused equipment, made to order, not refurbished units. The construction uses components from established suppliers, CE marked where applicable, and each system undergoes a complete inspection before shipping. You receive the technical documentation and operating manuals in your language.

Question 5

What makes URSTAG a premium brand?

Accepted Answer

European design, top-tier components and experience. Every machine is designed by our engineering teams in Europe and built from components by industry leaders such as Siemens, Schneider Electric, ABB, WEG, SEW-Eurodrive, NORD Drivesystems and Bonfiglioli. The result is reliable, energy-efficient and durable equipment, backed by over 15 years of experience and by delivery, installation, training and service included.

Question 6

How long do installation and commissioning take?

Accepted Answer

Transport, commissioning and operator training are included and carried out by a local team, in your language. Before shipping, the system undergoes a complete inspection, so your unit becomes operational quickly, without hidden installation costs.

Question 7

Can I recycle my own edge trim into nonwoven production?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A textile tearing and carding system allows spunlace or air-through manufacturers to recycle their own edge trim into nep-free fibre, reintroducing it into production. This closed loop simultaneously reduces the raw material cost and the waste disposal cost, improving the factory's efficiency and sustainability.
