rMIX: Il Portale del Riciclo nell'Economia Circolare - rNEWS: RadiciGroup Launches a new MeltBlown Plant for Masks

Through the Meltblow process, among the most innovative for the treatment of non-woven fabric, it is possible to create products that have high softness, elasticity, wettability and resistance both longitudinal and transversal.


RadiciGroup continues its commitment to deal with the health emergency by making an important investment for the acquisition of a new production line of meltblown material used for the production of protective masks and other PPE.

The Group - at the forefront since the beginning of the pandemic in the fight against the spread of Covid-19 with the activation, in a very short time, of a local supply chain to the production of gowns and other devices in spunbond non-woven fabric - quickly matured the decision to also focus on the production of meltblown, another type of TNT not present on the Italian market, but indispensable in the production of > surgical masks .

«In the midst of the pandemic - said Maurizio Radici , Vice President and COO of RadiciGroup - the lack of availability of meltblown was evident.

We ourselves continued to receive dozens and dozens of requests from potential customers: meltblown is a material produced in minimal quantities in Europe and certainly not enough to meet the needs in health emergency.

Since we have a consolidated experience in the world of non-woven fabrics, we moved quickly to understand how to develop a made in Italy supply chain for PPE and, as soon as we the opportunity to do something concretely is presented, we had no hesitation ».

RadiciGroup's investment is 15 million euros for the meltblown production line: the new plant, under construction installation, is extremely sophisticated, technologically advanced and of considerable size: it has a high productivity and allows the creation of products with particular technical characteristics, not only in polypropylene , but also based on other polymers such as polyester, polyamide and TPU.

The machine is located inside Tessiture Pietro Radici SpA, a Group company based in Gandino (Bergamo ), where space adaptation works were also carried out.
