Not only is NETInc (Nonwovens Engineers and Technologists Innovative Nonwovens Conference)  the only conference with a technical program developed by engineers and technologists, it also includes a tour of the Nonwovens Institute's Pilot Facilities on Wednesday, November 10, 2010 from 4:30 to 6 p.m.

During the tour, you and your colleagues will have a chance to see the Nonwovens Institute's (NWI) pilot facilities for manufacturing various types of nonwovens. The Staple Nonwovens Lab showcases two opening and blending systems, carding, crosslapping, needling, and thru-air bonding. This lab also has a lab-scale wetlay machine and a Scanfeed system.

NWI's Partners' SpunMelt Pilot Lab represents a unique world-class research and product development laboratory. This lab showcases both spunbond and meltblown bicomponent technologies.  Both machines are 56cm wide with in-line hydroentangling for bonding and splitting bicomponent fibers and thermal bonding equipment.

Register for the conference today to get a sneak peek at this facility!
