Nonwoven Production

Materials production and slitting

Materials production & slitting

BST offers a wide range of solutions whether you are processing non-woven materials or slitting into smaller roll formats. Improve your work processes with BST systems, from material handling to quality control and defect detection. Our industry-leading web guide solutions like the SMARTGuide and FRAMEGuide provide a stable platform to base your process with smart solutions like CLS CAM 100 and ekr CON 610 designed to optimize results.

Precise slitting requires accurate web positioning to ensure consistently high-quality rolls. Customizable web guiding systems such as COMPACTGuide and FRAMEGuide provide flexible solutions for a wide range of nonwoven applications. Intelligent sensor technology, including the CLS CAM 100 and CLS CAM 200 and intuitive controllers such as the ekr CON 610, enables reliable production performance.

Printing

Printing

High-quality printed nonwoven materials require reliable inspection and monitoring systems throughout the production process. The iPQ-Check platform enables 100% print inspection with real-time defect detection, allowing operators to identify and isolate quality issues before they impact production or reach the customer. 

iPQ-Center provides a suite of options to detect and manage your print production runs. Real-time web monitoring with iPQ-View or PROView, combined with workflow management tools such as Quality Assistant and SMARTData, helps optimize print quality, increase process transparency, and improve overall production throughput.

Product converting & assembly

Product converting & assembly

Converting nonwoven materials can be highly efficient when supported by the right process control technology. COMPACTGuide is a proven solution for achieving high production output.
