Question 1

What is edge trim and why does it require a dedicated opener?

Accepted Answer

Edge trim is the irregular edge trimmed when finishing nonwoven materials, a constant waste of production. As it consists of narrow and irregular strips, it is difficult to process with general openers. A textile edge opener is designed specifically for the shape of edge trim, processing it efficiently and without blockages.

Question 2

What do I do with the fibre recovered from edge trim?

Accepted Answer

The fibre recovered by a textile edge opener can be reintroduced into nonwoven production (closing the production loop) or used in other applications (fillings, lower-quality materials). Reintroduction into production is the most valuable option, reducing the cost of virgin raw material.

Question 3

Does it integrate into my nonwoven production line?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A textile edge opener integrates efficiently: the edge trim cut at finishing is collected and fed directly into the opener, without prolonged storage. The recovered fibre is reintroduced into the raw material blend, closing the loop on site, with immediate cost and sustainability benefits.

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 machine 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 machine undergoes a complete inspection, so your unit becomes operational quickly, without hidden installation costs.

Question 7

How much edge trim do I need to generate to justify the investment?

Accepted Answer

Any nonwoven manufacturer with steady volumes of edge trim can benefit. A textile edge opener eliminates the cost of disposing of edge trim and produces reusable fibre; the larger the volume of edge trim, the faster the payback. The exact volume that justifies the investment depends on your disposal and raw material costs.
