post-production of technical textiles

After the production of technical textiles, several additional steps are often required to transform them into finished products. Handsaeme Machinery serves as the trusted partner in producing the specialized machines needed for these post-production processes. These machines work alongside the production equipment, enabling seamless transitions from the manufacturing phase to the finishing phase.

From cutting and shaping to sewing and packaging, these post‑production steps must be adapted to the specific material behaviour and application requirements.
Reliable auxiliary equipment is essential to maintain product quality, process continuity and output consistency throughout this phase.

from post‑production to process stability

In many technical textile applications, final product quality is not defined during production, but during post‑production and finishing. Material variability, tension sensitivity and high line speeds leave little margin for error once textiles move from manufacturing to converting and packaging.

Post‑production therefore becomes a critical phase where material behaviour, tension control and transitions between machines must be carefully engineered as one coherent process. At Handsaeme Machinery, we design and integrate post-production lines that ensure stable material flow and consistent output quality across the entire process.

In this article, we explain how Handsaeme Machinery approaches post‑production automation for technical textiles; focusing on process stability, controlled material flow and reliable integration across the entire line.

our solutions

end of line equipment

At the end of the production line, there is typically what is known as the ‘end of line’. This is where the final stages of production take place. The end of line is placed after processes like needlepunching, weaving, spunbonding etc. and roll it up into large mother rolls.

Additionally, this stage often includes tasks such as trimming the edges and conducting thorough inspections to ensure the quality of the product before it’s prepared for distribution or further processing.

features & specifications

tailor made to fit the production line in question
widths up to 5 m – other on demand
semi- or fully-automatic
modular set-up: separate accumulator, cutting station, winder, packing machine etc. is possible

cut-to-order lines

For certain markets of technical textiles, it’s necessary to cut them into smaller, store ready rolls. Handsaeme offers cut-to-order lines ↗ as a fully customizable solution for this task.

Starting with a mother- or jumbo roll from the end of line, the cut-to-order line unwinds the material, precisely cuts it to the desired size, rerolls it and then packs it.

With Handsaemes cut-to-order lines, effienciency and accuracy are prioritized, ensuring that the finished product is ready for distribution with minimal handling and maximum quality control.

rewinding stations

In certain situations, it becomes necessary to rewind a jumbo roll that has come from the end of line. For example to inspect, apply a finish, cut out a bad part or splice two smaller rolls to make a new jumbo roll.

To address this need, Handsaeme develops ‘Rewinding stations’, high speed lines to rewind jumbo rolls to minimize the downtime and optimize productivity.
