KM HydroJet is developed for manufacturers who need controlled fiber bonding, improved substrate strength, and stable nonwoven web quality after the forming process.
In the hydroentanglement process, high-pressure water jets pass through the web and cause fibers to mechanically entangle. This bonding method can be used for wetlaid, wetlaid-spunlace, spunlace, carded, crosslapped, and spunlaid nonwoven structures.
With configurable jet heads, application-based pressure settings, and user-friendly maintenance features, KM HydroJet provides a flexible and efficient solution for strengthening nonwoven substrates before dewatering, drying, slitting, and winding.
KM HydroJet improves web strength by using high-pressure water jets to mechanically entangle fibers within the web structure.
The number of jets and the amount of pressure are critical for achieving the right bonding level, web integrity, and final substrate performance. This makes KM HydroJet a key process unit for manufacturers producing high-quality wetlaid and spunlace nonwoven materials.
Fiber Entanglement
Uses high-pressure water jets to bond fibers without conventional chemical bonding.
Improved Web Strength
Increases mechanical strength and substrate integrity for improved web strength.
Configurable Jet Heads
Jet heads can be configured according to application and customer needs.
Stable Process Control
Designed for consistent bonding performance and uniform across the web.
KM HydroJet is built for manufacturers who need reliable performance, flexible jet configuration, easy maintenance, and strong substrate quality.
As the bonding unit of the wetlaid production line, it directly affects web strength, tear resistance, converting compatibility, and final product quality. In Kansan Materials’ wetlaid line concept, KM HydroJet helps improve the mechanical strength of the nonwoven substrate and supports better downstream converting performance.
KM HydroJet performs the hydroentanglement stage after web formation. The loose fiber web is carried on mesh belts while high-pressure water jets pass through the web and create mechanical fiber bonding.
After these stage, the web continues to dewatering and drying stages before final slitting and winding.
KM HydroJet can be configured for a wide range of nonwoven web structures and bonding requirements. KM Hydrojet is used in wetlaid, wetlaid-spunlace, spunlace, carded, crosslapped, and spunlaid nonwoven applications.
This flexibility makes KM HydroJet suitable for manufacturers working with natural, synthetic, and blended fibers in hygiene, wipes, filtration, technical, and specialty nonwoven applications.
