Jiangsu Aokai Environmental Technology Co., Ltd. is installing a new German Tr\u00fctzschler production line at its manufacturing facility in Jiangsu, China.<\/span><\/p>\n

The project represents an investment of approximately RMB 30 million. Once the new line is fully commissioned, Aokai\u2019s annual Needle felt Filter Media Capacity <\/mark>will increase from 4 million to 8 million square meters.<\/p>\n

This expansion supports Aokai\u2019s long-term plan to improve filter media consistency, production stability and delivery capacity for industrial filtration customers worldwide.<\/p>\n

A Long-Term Investment in Needle felt Filter Media<\/a> Capacity<\/h2>\n

Industrial filtration requirements continue to rise. Customers now expect filter media to maintain stable weight, uniform fiber distribution and reliable performance across large production batches.<\/p>\n

For Aokai, this manufacturing upgrade is part of a long-term investment plan. The project covers more than the installation of new equipment. It also supports further improvements in production control, process management and quality inspection.<\/p>\n

The new line will help Aokai handle larger orders while maintaining consistent product specifications. It will also provide more production flexibility for customized filter media used under different temperatures, dust conditions and chemical environments.<\/p>\n

Why Aokai Selected Tr\u00fctzschler<\/h2>\n

The performance of needle-punched filter media begins with fiber preparation and web formation. Poor fiber opening or uneven carding can lead to variations in basis weight, air permeability, mechanical strength and filtration performance.<\/p>\n

Tr\u00fctzschler technology is widely used in technical nonwoven manufacturing. Its systems cover key processes such as fiber preparation, carding and web formation. These processes help manufacturers achieve more uniform fiber webs and repeatable production quality.<\/p>\n

According to Tr\u00fctzschler\u2019s official technical information<\/a>, its needle-punching solutions are designed for technical nonwovens, including industrial filtration bags<\/a>. The systems focus on process stability, uniform web quality and reproducible production.<\/p>\n

These capabilities match Aokai\u2019s requirements for high-performance filter media manufacturing.<\/p>\n

Needle felt filter media Quality Starts with the Fiber<\/h2>\n

A finished needle felt filter media may look simple, but its performance depends on every stage of production.<\/p>\n

The main manufacturing process includes:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    Fiber selection<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Fibers are selected according to operating temperature, chemical conditions, dust properties and filtration requirements.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    Fiber opening<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Compressed fiber is opened into smaller and more uniform tufts. This step also helps remove unwanted material and improves fiber mixing.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  3. \n

    Carding and web formation<\/strong><\/p>\n

    The fibers are separated and arranged into a uniform web. Stable carding helps control basis weight and fiber distribution.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  4. \n

    Needle punching<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Needles mechanically bind the fiber layers together. This process builds the strength, density and structure of the filter felt.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  5. \n

    Heat setting and finishing<\/strong><\/p>\n

    The filter media is heat-set to improve dimensional stability. Additional treatments may be applied based on the working conditions.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  6. \n

    Filter media inspection<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Aokai checks key properties such as thickness, weight, air permeability, tensile strength and surface condition.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  7. \n

    dust filter bag manufacturer<\/strong><\/p>\n

    The inspected filter media is cut and sewn into finished industrial dust filter bag <\/a>manufacturer according to the baghouse design and installation dimensions.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    By strengthening the early stages of fiber preparation and web formation, the new production line will provide a more stable base for the following needling, finishing and filter bag manufacturing processes.<\/p>\n

    What Does the Capacity Expansion Mean for Customers?<\/h2>\n

    After commissioning, Aokai\u2019s annual filter media capacity will reach 8 million square meters. This is twice the company\u2019s previous annual capacity of 4 million square meters.<\/p>\n

    The expanded capacity will support customers in several areas:<\/p>\n
