Abstract
A method and device produce nonwovens by hydrodynamic needling. A nonwoven with a basically clean hole structure on a drum with plastic elevations can be produced by energy-rich water jets. Depending on the thickness of the fibers used in the nonwoven, however, certain fibers can nevertheless be stretched transversely across a hole. In order to avoid or eliminate this, the perforated nonwoven is subjected to singeing flames after drying.
