Patent attributes
Methods for manufacturing through-fluid bonded continuous fiber nonwoven webs are provided. The method may include providing a through-fluid bonding oven. The through-fluid bonding oven may have a first porous member and a second moving member. An intermediate continuous fiber nonwoven web may be conveyed into the through-fluid bonding oven intermediate the first and second moving porous members. A first surface of the intermediate continuous fiber nonwoven web may be in face-to-face contact with the first porous member. A second surface of the intermediate continuous fiber nonwoven web may be in face-to-face contact with the second porous member. A heated fluid may be flowed through the first and second porous members and the intermediate continuous fiber nonwoven web to create a continuous fiber nonwoven web.
