AHLSTROM BOOTH 1002
Ahlstrom will showcase its wide range of filtration materials for transportation, air and liquid filtration applications. In particular, Ahlstrom will share its newest technology--100% microglass media with various micron efficiencies to meet any hydraulic filtration requirement. With 13 manufacturing sites worldwide employing distinct manufacturing processes, Ahlstrom reinforces its position as a leading provider of filtration solutions worldwide and demon strates its commitment to serving the global filtration industry with high quality and diverse product range. The company's website is www.ahlstrom.com.
CNTA SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY CO. BOOTH 1305
China-based CNTA Science & Technology Co. will be at the show highlighting Antilon meltblown nonwovens. Antilon fabrics are suitable for mask manufacturing and are in line with BFE, N95, PI and PII standards. Also being
offered are new Mclon meltblown and carded nonwovens for use as filter media with high FE, low resistance, high dust content and longer duration times.
CONWED GLOBAL NETTING SOLUTIONS BOOTH 408
A long-time custom solutions provider to the liquid and air filtration markets, Conwed Global Netting Solutions provides not only netting but rigid tubes, cores, sleeves, spacers and pleat and media support. Conwed can extrude diamond and square netting. The company's advantage in square netting is flexibility in its extrusion and orientation processes.
Conwed is now manufacturing PBT tubes; these engineered resins are ideal for high temperature applications, as a metal replacement and are chemical-resistant. The tubes allow for custom sizes and lengths without exorbitant tooling costs, while providing the strength and rigidity needed. Through its distribution structure, the company can provide longer tubes and cut to size tubes with tight tolerances and quick turnarounds.

New from Conwed are nettings with properties that offer conductive or flame retardant benefits. The products can be customized to precisely meet customer needs--including color, diameter, widths, mesh sizes, thickness, temperature resistance and chemical resistance. Products are manufactured from a range of materials including PP, PE and nylon and can be tailored for specific filtration functions.
CHASE MACHINE & ENGINEERING BOOTH 1019
The Chase FS-90 Ultrasonic Fabric Sealing System will "sew" and/or slit knitted, woven and nonwoven man-made thermoplastic materials without needle or thread. Material can be processed at rates up to 60 feet per minute. Higher speeds, up to 123 feet per minute, can be achieved with modification to the equipment. The Chase FS-90 is a sealing unit that can be mounted in a fabric handling system and includes a variable speed drive mechanism; pneumatically-activated sealing wheel arm; drive motor; control box and foot switch or start circuitry to raise and rotate the sealing wheel and start ultrasonics.
Materials suitable for processing with the Chase FS-90 Ultrasonic Fabric Sealing System include 100% synthetics, such as nylon, polyester, polypropylene, polyethylene, modified acrylics, vinyl, urethane and synthetic blends with up to 40% non-synthetic fiber content (dependent upon the application). Some blends with up to 50% non-synthetic fiber content have been processed. In addition, films and coated papers may be processed. Machine configuration and the location of the anvils enable flexibility and tight turns in sealing and/or cutting. This also provides an unobstructed view of the fabric in the processing area. Typical applications for the systems include protective garments, disposable hospital gowns and shoe covers, face masks, infants' nursery garments, filters, bags, curtains, sails and web splicing. Sealed edges with no stitch holes prevent penetration of chemicals, liquids, blood pathogens or particulates, thus providing a benefit over conventional stitching methods. With ultrasonic slitting, the edges are sealed as they are cut, providing smooth, clean, even edges with no bead or bulk.
