Sealy produces 1,000 mattresses per day at its Brisbane plant. To replace some virgin fibre feedstock with more sustainable recycled fibres, the company installed an Andritz tearing line at the plant.
The Andritz reXline tearing can process up to 1,200 kg/h of cotton denim waste and up to 800 kg/h of quilt waste. The 6-cylinder Exel module allows flexible switching between the two types of material. The combination of the reXline and the Andritz airfelt line, which has been in operation at the Brisbane plant since 2008, enables Sealy to process large amounts of waste into new mattresses ready for sale around the world.
