New line in Spain for 100% biodegradable wet wipes


Spanish paper maker Papel Aralar has ordered a new line for speciality paper production from Voith and nonwoven fabric expert Trützschler Nonwovens.


The PM5 has been developed as a joint project specifically for wet wipes with delivery planned for September 2020. The wet wipes will be plastic-free, flushable and


biodegradable. Voith will supply its


HydroFormer, one of the main components of the new system, in which the suspension is heavily


diluted to produce nonwoven materials made completely of cellulose, a renewable resource. In addition to the HydroFormer,


Voith will also supply the stock preparation system, a master reel, and the wet end process for the new system constructed in accordance with the Process Line Package (PLP). A comprehensive automation and control package is also included in the delivery. Trützschler Nonwovens


completes the production process with its AquaJet technology for spunlacing and a multi-drum dryer. Papel Aralar is promoting its


new range of wet wipes under the Araflush brand name. Founded in 1936 at Amezketa, the family- owned paper maker has four production lines.
