CAMBRIDGE, England,
April 7, 2020 /PRNewswire/
-- Alchemie Technology is announcing the accelerated launch of
Novara, a breakthrough new high-throughput digital precision
coating technology for technical textiles. The textile technology
innovator is supporting the global efforts to combat COVID-19 by
applying its Novara technology to the manufacture of
safety-critical products, including anti-viral facemasks. Alchemie
is actively partnering with manufacturers worldwide to build
production lines to address acute personal protective equipment
needs and medical textile shortages.
"We have accelerated the launch of our
Novara textile coating technology to address
the critical shortages of personal protective equipment
worldwide," said Dr. Simon
Kew, Managing Director at Alchemie Technology. "Our team
has been working hard to ready Novara, our
breakthrough technology for coating technical textiles, to support
the frontline efforts to combat COVID-19. We predict that the
worldwide requirement for facemasks will be over 50 million per
day, and we are getting ready to address this urgent need."
Alchemie's Novara technology delivers high-precision,
2D-patterned one or two-sided functional coatings to technical
textiles, enabling truly unique, multi-functional textiles to be
manufactured. Novara combines the throughput of conventional
coating technologies with the precision of digital to unlock new
product design opportunities and radically reduce the cost of
technical textiles. The technology enables functional coatings to
be applied with unparalleled precision, all controlled with
real-time digital data.
"Our Novara precision coating
technology is a breakthrough for digital technical textile
manufacturing," Dr. Alan
Hudd, Chairman at Alchemie Technology explained. "Our
digital manufacturing approach to textile coatings will finally
bring the limitless flexibility of digital printing to functional
coatings."
The benefits of Novara include:
- New product innovation: precise 2D digital placement of
coatings, including one or two-sided application using different
materials
- More profitable production with reduced material consumption:
only delivering coating where it's needed
- Unparalleled agility: with reduced inventory and digital
productivity benefits, including rapid changeovers in less than
five minutes and economic short runs
The Novara digital precision coating technology can be
delivered as a stand-alone machine or as a module for current
production lines, enabling convenient implementation and rapid
delivery of manufacturing capacity.
