MultiFil combines the quality meltblown system
youve come to expect from JM Laborator ies
with the flexibility to change fiber configura-
tions. Just one look at the melt blown fabric
from the MultiFil system demonstrates the
fabrics f iber density consistency. Specific
for ming distances and other research-based
innovations allow JM Laboratori es to i mpr ove
fiber density consistency dramatically.
The meltblown system causes the fiber s
to cr isscross, essentially creating a thatched
roof effect. A high degree of fiber quenching
increases the fabric loft, improving the filtration
characteri stics and the hydrohead. Impr ovedfiltration characteristics include increased air
perm eability and unif orm pore size. The above
average hydrohead produced by MultiFil means
you can use less material t o provide a superior
liquid barr ier while allowing vapor t o escape.The thatched roof effect of
JM Laboratori es quenched fibers also im proves
appearance, drapabilit y and hand all im port ant
considerations in your customers perception
of quality.
In addition t o a variety of quenching
options, JM Laborator ies delivers many other
productivity enhancing innovations. For
example, the m eltblown beam can be rot ated
on its axis for variable tr im wi dths. In addition,
R.A.D.A.R. , a new technology fr om JM Labs that
is based on a randomly dimensioned array of
holes in our die t ips, delivers higher thr ough-
puts with finer fibers than any other equipment
supplier.
The MultiFil M B system pr ovides
thr oughput up to 5.5 lb/in./hr ( 99 kg/m/hr)
while the MultiFil MB BICO yields up to
4.6 lb/in./hr ( 83 kg/m/hr) . The throughput of
JM Laboratori es equipment is typically higher
than any other equipment supplier. You can get
the job done with one meltblown beam when
most other equipment requires two.

Filament Denier vs. Velocity
In many cases, multi-funct ion machinery
performs none of its tasks particularly well or
with great eff iciency. In contrast, the Mult iFilComposite Filament System spins excellent
meltblown and superior spunbond.
Why is this multi-function equipment able
to confound t he conventional wisdom? Its
simple. JM Laboratories developed high-quality
standalone machinery for mel tblown and for
spunbond first . Then they combined the
technologies guided by the company philosophy
that every advancement in manufacturing must
result in an elegantly simple solution to a
complex problem. This philosophy createdthe environment necessary to combine tw o
elegantly simple t echnologies into one.
Spunbond manufactured wit h
JM Laboratories equipment sets itself apart in
several ways. First , it i s a strong, uniform fabric.
Second, it provides excellent filtration
proper ties and hydrohead. And, thir d, it
demonstr ates superior hand and drapability.
Mult iFils high-speed drawing technique
yields excellent fiber attenuation. These small
fiber s dramatically increase tensile str ength as
compared to typical spunbond applications.

Multi fi ls high throughputs allow for quick return oninvestment, as well as high production capacity.
The drawing technique also serves to
crimp the fibers. The crimping action improves
the spunbond fabric i n several ways. First, it
provides better air permeability and loft. It
improves the moisture/vapor transmission rate
(MVTR). It provides a softer fabric with greater
drapability. And it increases the void volume.
MultiFils high throughputs allow for
quick return on investment. The MultiFil I
system provides thr oughput up t o 6.04 lb/in./hr
( 108 kg/m/hr) . For applications requir ing
greater thr oughput, the Mul tiFil I I HP system
provides thr oughput up t o 13.4 lb/in./hr
( 240 kg/m/hr) . And Mult iFil BICO spunbond
provides 12.1 lb/in./hr (216 kg/m/hr).

MultiFil components help keep your lineup and running.
Every component of the M ultiFil system yields
maximum productivity with minimum
maintenance.
Extruder.Two extruder s per beam allow single or bi -
component f ilament pr oduction. A specialized
extruder achieves 5:1 tur ndown ratios wit h
different polymers. Projected meltblown/
spunbond ratios are approximately 3:1. A screw
extractor simplifies screw changeouts.
From 9 lb/hr ( 4 kg/hr) to 2000 lb/hr
( 900 kg/hr) , JM Laborator ies supplies Davis
Standard ext ruder s to match your needs
precisely. All are equipped w ith el ectri cally
heated barrel and flange zones, your choice of
hydraulic or manual screen change options,
automatic and manual operation modes, and
closed loop pressure/temperature controls. In
addition, each extruder has a built-in port for a
reclaim extr uder int erf ace. Each spunbond
beam can feature a small secondary extr uder
for waste r ecycling.
Die System.For maximum ef ficiency, the Mult iFil system
features comput er-modeled polymer and air
distribution systems. The bottom or
side-l oading quick-change Spin Packs keep
turnaround time to a minimum, while the
monomer collection system keeps your pr ocess
clean.
Scientif ically modeled to pr ecisely con-
trol resin flow, distribution channels allow resin
to r each every porti on of the die at t he same
moment. This controlled r esin flow
combined with t he Nekton Optim ized Viscous
Fluid Flow M odeled Coathanger allows equal
residence ti me, pressure drop, temperature
and shear history.
The MultiFil system allows perfect
polymer distribution in one to seven meter
dies. Mult iple coathanger technology allows you
to achieve crossweb and machine dir ection
uniformity of 3 percent.
The patent ed qui ck-change Spin Pack
delivers:
Increased efficiency,
Improved production smoothness, and
Significant cost savings.
Spin Pack maintenance is typically the
most costly area of spunlaid nonwovens
production. A simple changeout can mean an
entire day of production lost. In contrast,
JM Laboratories Spin Packs change out in
minut es, with machinery up and running as
quickl y as you can change the polymer. Locked
into place with t wo slide-in keys, this cutting-
edge design elim inates the need for bolts. Less
complexity equals more profitability.
The precision of computerized
technology and the discrimi nation of the
human eye combine to form a die tip free of
irregularities. MultiFil die tips do not allow
resins t o be caught inside where t hey can
burn and block holes.
