Abstract
The present invention provides a process for producing a carded and air-laid non-woven composite fabric. First, a fiber is subjected to carding treatment through a carding machine to form a carded web. Then, a fiber, powder, or particulate material is subjected to air-laying through an air-laying device to form an air-laid web. The sequence of carding and air-laying steps can be exchanged, and the carding machine and the air-laying device are disposed on the same production line. Finally, the above webs are consolidated into a non-woven composite fabric. In the present invention, since carding and air-laying are conducted on the same production line, the procedure for producing air-laid webs off-line can be omitted. Therefore, the thermoplastic polymer amount added to increase the web strength can be decreased, thus decreasing the production cost.
