Indawo eyi-niche embonini yokugaywa kabusha kwezindwangu, ama-nonwovens ayaqhubeka nokugcina buthule amakhulu ezigidi zamaphawundi wempahla ngaphandle kwezindawo zokulahla imfucuza. Eminyakeni emihlanu edlule, inkampani eyodwa iye yakhula yaba omunye wemithombo emikhulu yemboni yezinto ezingalukiwe “ezinesici” ezivela ezigayweni ezinkulu zase-US. Yasungulwa ngo-1968, i-Fibematics Inc. yaqala ukwenza izinto zokuqinisa (i-SRM) kanye nokucutshungulwa kwama-wipes angalukiwe e-Philadelphia, ePennsylvania, futhi kusukela lapho isikhule yaba ukucutshungulwa kokusula eSouthern California. Ngo-2018 inkampani izogubha iminyaka engu-50 yasungulwa.
Indawo eyinhloko yeFibematics' Philadelphia itholakala endaweni yebhizinisi eyayikade ingasasetshenziswa kangako (HUBZone) futhi ingumqashi Wamabhizinisi Amancane (SBA) HUBZone. Le nkampani njengamanje inabasebenzi be-70 futhi ibone imali engenayo ikhula kancane eminyakeni yamuva, nesitshalo saseCalifornia sijabulela impumelelo kusukela sivulwa ngo-2014. "Siphinda siphinde sisebenzise isilinganiso samakhilogremu ayizigidi ezingu-5 zama-nonwovens ngenyanga," kusho uDavid Blueman, iphini likamongameli we-Fibematics. "Sigxile ekwenziweni kwe-SRM, ukucubungula izinto zokuhlanza ezingalukiwe kanye nokuhweba kwemikhiqizo yezimboni ekhethekile."
I-SRM iwumsebenzi ohlanganisa indwangu eqine kakhulu elamine nge-polyester mesh, evame ukuhlangabezana nemibandela eqinile yezicelo zezokwelapha. Ezisetshenziswa zezimboni, lokhu okubalulekile kuvame ukuqala njengamaroli ethawula namathawula wephepha, anqatshwa izimboni ukuze asetshenziswe ngokuyinhloko futhi njenge-SRM yezimboni. Isetshenziswa njengento yokusula emuncayo ezimbonini ezinjengokuhlanza nokuhlanzeka.
"Ukwenziwa kwe-SRM kungenye yezindlela ezindala kakhulu embonini ye-nonwovens," kusho u-Bluvman. “Impahla isaqhubeka nokudingeka kakhulu ngenxa yokuqina kwayo okuphezulu futhi isalokhu iyinketho eyongayo kuma-wiper (imikhiqizo yezimboni esetshenziselwa ukuhlanza izindawo).”
Ekupheleni kwemakethe, i-Fibematics ithumela i-SRM eluhlaza kuma-processors e-China, lapho icutshungulwa khona ibe yimikhiqizo efana namathawula ezandla odokotela abahlinzayo namakepisi alahlwayo, amathawula ethreyi yokuhlinza namathawula amancane amakhithi ezokwelapha. Imikhiqizo ibe isibuyiselwa ezibhedlela kulo lonke elaseNyakatho Melika.
Emaphethelweni aphansi emakethe, i-Fibematics ithenga “izimpahla zesibili” ezimbonini ezikhiqiza “izimpahla zokuqala,” njengezicubu namathawula ephepha. Le nto yekhwalithi ephansi iqiniswa nge-SRM ukuze kwakhiwe umkhiqizo onamandla osikwayo futhi othengiswa njengezinhlobo ezihlukahlukene zamawipha.
Endlunkulu ye-Fibematics e-Philadelphia, kunemishini engu-14 eguqula izinto zokuqala nezesibili zibe izingubo zokusula ezingalukiwe, enikeza lezi zindwangu ezilahliwe impilo yesibili futhi igcina imfucuza ngaphandle kwezindawo zokulahla imfucumfucu. Imikhiqizo ewumphumela ithole izimakethe zokugcina njengesisekelo sokusula okusha, okuhlanganisa okokusula okukhethekile okumanzi namathawula omile.
“Ngokuzayo uma usendaweni yokosa inyama, cabanga nge-Fibematics futhi usebenzise ama-napkin ukuze uhlanze leyo sosi engcolile,” kuncokola u-Bluvman. Izinto zokuhlanza kungenzeka zivela embonini yethu!”
I-Fibematics iphinde inikeze ngokusula ngelebula yangasese futhi isebenze nezinkampani zenhlanzeko ezisunguliwe nezisafufusa ugu-to-coast ukusiza izinkampani zikhethe ama-nonwovens angcono kakhulu futhi zisule osayizi bebhizinisi labo, kanye nokuklama amalogo ngokwezifiso kanye nokupakishwa okunegama.
Ngokukhethekile, i-Fibematics icubungula kanye/noma imaketha okungekona okulukiwe okulandelayo: i-spunlace, i-airlaid, i-DRC, indwangu eqoshiwe, i-meltblown polypropylene (MBPP), i-spunbond polypropylene (SBPP)/polyester (SBPE), i-polyethylene laminates, njll. , okufaka phakathi amaroli emithombo ahlukahlukene nama-nonwoven ahlukahlukene. . Ifomethi eguquliwe. Imikhiqizo eyenziwe ngokwezifiso ihlanganisa amaroli ahlehlayo/ahlehlisayo, amaroli ethawula aqhubekayo, amaroli anezimbobo, amaroli aphakathi nendawo, ama-pop-ups ebhodi lokuhlola, ama-pleats angu-1/4, ama-pleats angu-1/6, ama-pleats angu-1/8 namashidi ayisicaba anosayizi abahlukahlukene.
Inkampani iphinde inikeze uhla lwemikhiqizo ekhethekile ekhawulelwe ngokuphelele ekusetshenzisweni nakwindawo futhi idayiswa ngobudlelwano bamasu emazweni angaphezu kwama-30 emazwenikazi ayisithupha. Ngemva kokuthenga izinto ezigaywe kabusha ezitshalweni zase-US, i-Fibematics icubungula futhi ithengise amaphawundi ayizigidi ezingu-10 kuya kwezingu-15 zezinto ezibonakalayo phesheya kwezilwandle minyaka yonke, konke kuhlolwa ngokucophelela ngaphambi kokuthunyelwa.
Ukuhlala Isinyathelo Esisodwa Phambili Ngokuka-Bluvman, impumelelo yeFibematics ngokwengxenye ibangelwa ikhono layo lokuhlala isinyathelo esisodwa ngaphambi kwawo wonke umuntu embonini futhi ilethe izinketho zobuciko kumakhasimende abo.
Isibonelo, ukuthengisa kwabo mpo kuqiniswa ubulungu obunesikhathi eside ku-Association for Recycled Materials and Recycled Textiles (SMART), ubudlelwano obugqugquzelwa u-Bluvman, osanda kuba usihlalo omusha webhodi le-SMART.
"Sisebenza namalungu amaningi e-SMART emnyangweni we-napkin, futhi ngokuyinhloko bathengisa ama-napkins," kuchaza u-Bluvman. “Lobu budlelwano busiza ukwandisa amabhizinisi amakhasimende ethu ngokuwavumela ukuthi aqhudelane nezinkampani ezinkulu ngokukhiqiza izinhlobo ezahlukene zama-wiper.
"Sibona abantu abaningi ngokwengeziwe befuna ukubola kwe-biodegradability," eqhubeka. "Ukudala umkhiqizo osebenza kahle kakhulu futhi osebenza kahle, kodwa futhi obolayo, kuyinselelo enkulu. Ngeshwa, ukusebenza kwama-nonwovens amanje abolayo akwanele. Inselele yemboni yethu iwukuqhubeka nokusungula izinto ezintsha futhi siqhubeke silwela ukuzuza izixazululo ezinobungani kwemvelo ngangokunokwenzeka ."
UBluvman wengeze ngokuthi iFibematics isebenza kanzima ukufundisa amakhasimende ngokubaluleka kwezinto zokusula ezingalukiwe, ephawula ukuthi ucwaningo lubonisa ukuthi ama-nonwoven alahlwayo awayingozi kangako emvelweni kunamathawula endwangu ahlanziwe.
Kusukela ezindlini zangasese kuya ezitezi zefekthri, imikhiqizo ye-Fibematics isiza ukushintsha amathawula endwangu yendabuko, ama-napkin namanabukeni emhlabeni jikelele.
“Sizoqhubeka nokuzivumelanisa nezimo zemakethe yomhlaba wonke futhi sidale amashaneli okuthengisa amasha obuchwepheshe obukhona nobusha bokusula i-windshield ngokusebenzisa inethiwekhi yethu yomhlaba wonke esungulwe kahle yamakhasimende nabaphakeli,” kusho u-Bluvman.
