Abstract

A hydroentanglement apparatus comprising at least six entanglement rollers (11-17) arranged in a substantially linear array and providing a web path for a web of nonwoven fibres and at least one hydraulic jet assembly (21-27) for jetting water across the jet at each roller. The jet assemblies (21-27) are arranged so that, for each adjacent pair of rollers, water is jetted onto one side of the web as the web passes around one of the adjacent rollers and onto the other side of the web as the web passes around the other of the adjacent rollers. The invention also relates to a method of manufacturing a hydroentangled nonwoven fabric from a web of nonwoven fibres.
