A transverse stretching stage applies more force at web edges after needling to correct shrinkage, improve mass uniformity, and stabilize winding.
Angled wires on a perforated base drum keep spacing open for water drainage, reduce fiber jamming, and simplify hydroentangling drum manufacture.
Offset ringed rollers stretch a needlepunched fiber batt more at the edges to counter shrinkage, improve density uniformity, and ease winding.
