Production Process and Equipment
Since its founding, Japan Vilene has introduced a wide range of nonwoven fabric production methods. Starting with dry-laid processes using carding systems, we have expanded to include wet-laid systems and meltblown production equipment.
For bonding methods, we utilize chemical bonding, needle punching, and hydroentangling, enabling high-speed production of diverse nonwoven fabrics.
By covering nearly all major nonwoven manufacturing techniques—except for spunbond—we have built a robust system capable of responding precisely to a wide variety of customer needs.
