A modular Spunbond / Melt Blown / Spunbond machinery concept is presented. Line speed beyond 250 m/min (820 ft/min) and specific throughputs up to 180 kg/h/m (120 lbs/ft) renders high efficiency. In addition the layout allows parallel processing of Spunbond and Melt Blown. The process optimization preserves the advantages of suction driven systems e.g. low energy consumption (< 1="" kwh/kg)="" but="" allows="" economical="" production="" of="" fine="" fibers="">< 1,5="" den).="" advantages="" of="" metallocene="" pp="" and="" use="" for="" fine="" fibers="" are="">
