FAMECCANICA, coordinator of the LIFE ALL-IN project, dedicates a complete test stand to the Ariel process
Process concept
Ariel is a new concept of elastic waist band for pant-type products aiming at:
- Improving material softness by increasing material bulkiness
- Being positioned as «premium» product thanks to the improved aesthetic feeling and higher value perception of the product to the final consumer
- Offering Cost advantage opportunities: thank to the special process the elastics are tensioned at minimum level and therefore it is possibile to use low dtex elastics down to 310 dtex
Product design
Ari-El™ solution is applicable in combination with different elastic materials, from lycra to elastic film to a combination of both
Test and next steps
The process has been tested up to 300 m/min. A long run of 24 hours has been done to validate the process stability.
