Abstract
An innovative plant (10) for the production with the “spun bonding” technology or similar of a web (V) of non-woven fabric, comprising: a melting station (11) suitable for receiving and melting a polymeric base material (MR), an extrusion bar or head (12) with a plurality of extrusion or drawing nozzles (12a) adapted to receive from the melting station (11) the polymeric material (MR) in the molten state to produce a plurality or bundle of continuous filaments (FF); a conveyor belt (13) adapted to advance along a direction of advancement (A) and to receive from the above the continuous filaments (F), produced by the extrusion nozzles (12a), so as to form a web (V) of non-woven fabric; and consolidation means (14) designed to consolidate the non-woven web (V) formed on the conveyor belt (13); wherein the plant (10) is characterized by a special structure (20) comprising a base platform (21), rotatable (f, f′, f″) around a respective vertical rotation axis (X), and wherein the melting station (11), suitable for receiving and melting the base polymeric material (MR), and the extrusion bar (12), suitable for receiving from the melting station (11) the polymeric material (MR) in the molten state, are totally built and solidly supported by this rotatable base platform (21) (f, f, f), so as to be rigidly connected to each other without the interposition of any rotating joint. Advantageously, the plant (10) allows to vary, without interrupting its operation, the width (L, L′, L″) of the non-woven web (V) produced by the same plant, by rotating (f, f′, f″) and adjusting the base platform (21) around the respective vertical rotation axis (X), so as to vary the inclination (a) of the extrusion bar (12) with respect to the direction of advancement (A) the conveyor belt (13).

Important Notes on Latency of Status data
Please note there is up to 60 days of latency in this Status indicator for certain status conditions. You can obtain up-to-date Status indicator readings by ordering PAIR for the file.
An application with the status "Published" (which means it is pending) may be recently abandoned, but not yet updated to reflect its abandoned status. However, an application filed less than one year ago is unlikely to be abandoned.
A patent with the status "Granted" may be recently expired, but not yet updated to reflect its expired status. However, it is highly unlikely a patent less than 3.5 years old would be expired.
An application with the status "Abandoned" is almost always current, but there is a small chance it was recently revived and the status not yet updated.
Important Note on Priority Date data
This priority date is an estimated earliest priority date and is purely an estimation. This date should not be taken as legal conclusion. No representations are made as to the accuracy of the date listed. Please consult a legal professional before relying on this date.
