Industrial Fibre Processing Machinery for Recycling, Nonwoven and Natural Fibre Applications

We design and manufacture machinery used in the mechanical processing of recycled textiles, natural fibres and nonwoven materials. Our equipment supports key stages of fibre preparation, including waste opening, blending, conveying, web forming and needling, across production environments handling both reclaimed and virgin materials.

From rag and textile waste recovery through to hemp and flax processing and nonwoven line integration, the machinery listed below forms part of systems used worldwide for preparing fibre prior to downstream manufacturing processes.
