Meltblown Manufacturing Process

The term melt-blown refers to a process that can be defined as a nonwoven web forming process that extrudes and draws molten polymer resins with heated, high velocity air to form fine filaments. The filaments are cooled and collected as a web onto a moving screen. In some ways the process is similar to the spun bond process, but melt-blown fibres are much finer and generally measured in microns.

Irema has also developed a range of filter media for Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning (HVAC) applications that meet the requirements of EN 779 and ASHRAE 52.2.

Irema has four melt-blown production lines capable of producing a wide spectrum of nonwoven webs.
