LAROCHE

After one century dedicated to the design, manufacturing and commissioning of equipment for technical nonwoven products and complete textile waste recycling lines, LAROCHE is now proposing complete turnkey Airlay nonwoven lines from several raw material sources to make a huge range of nonwoven products. At ITM 2012, it will show a full range of products made from their latest technologies. After 20 years of experience in Airlay technology the company will notably introduce the new “FLEXILOFT+” Airlay machine and the latest innovations in used clothes recycling processes.

The areas of application include nonwoven products for building insulation, automotive, bedding, furniture and floor coverings, geotextiles, sound and thermal insulation; open-end using recycled fibres; natural fibres products (nonwovens and yarns); short staple bast fibres for spinning, nonwoven and paper; disposable products; pillows and toys stuffing; and technical products.

LAROCHE has been a strong partner to many major Turkish companies in the nonwoven and recycling industries for more than 30 years. It provides a full range of engineering, development and support services for turnkey projects.

In Cours-La Ville, France, a 2000 m² demo-room equipped with three Airlay nonwoven lines, is extensively used for process and product development. Customers are welcome to use these facilities to develop their new products.
