The Micrex/Microcreper:

The Micrex Process is a unique, mechanical technology to impart functional (stretch, extensibility, bulk) and esthetic (softness, drape, hand) qualities to a wide range of web structures. 


          A "turn-key" 1.7 meter Micrex/Microcreper System with slitter-rewinder

There are five base configurations of the Micrex/Microcreper Comb Roll, Rigid Retarder, Bladeless, Flat Blade and Two Roll, and four advanced configurations (which are only available in-plant to our contract converting customers).

There are numerous advantages to The Micrex Process. Speeds of up to 300 meters per minute are obtainable on some (non textile) substrates. Being a mechanical process, there are no dangerous chemicals or environmental concerns. Consumable parts usage is low with parts costing less than 3/10 of a cent ($0.0035) per square meter of material processed.

Micrex/Microcrepers (in basic configurations) are available in widths from 42" (1067 mm) to 124" (3150 mm). Micrex can supply just the Microcreper itself or a complete turn-key system.
