Device for producing a nonwoven fabric comprising at least one nonwoven web (2, 3), wherein at least one spinning device or at least one spinning beam is provided for spinning fibres, wherein a deposit conveyor - in particular a depositing foraminous belt - is provided on which the fibres can be deposited to form the nonwoven web (2, 3), wherein at least one hot-air pre-consolidating device is provided for hot-air pre-consolidation of the nonwoven web (2, 3) on the deposit conveyor or on the depositing foraminous belt, wherein in the conveying direction of the nonwoven web (2, 3) downstream of the deposit conveyor a further conveyor - in particular in the form of a conveyor belt - is provided for receiving the pre-consolidated nonwoven web (2, 3) from the deposit conveyor, wherein at least one final consolidating device - in particular at least one hot-air final consolidating device - is provided for final consolidation or for hot-air final consolidation of the nonwoven web (2, 3) on the further conveyor or on the conveyor belt, wherein the hot-air pre-consolidation of the nonwoven web (2, 3) can be carried out on the deposit conveyor or on the depositing foraminous belt provided that before transfer to the further conveyor or to the conveyor belt the nonwoven web (2, 3) has a strength in the machine direction of 0.5 to 5 N/5 cm, in particular 0.7 to 3.5 N/5 cm and preferably of 0.8 to 3.5 N/5 cm and wherein the temperature of the surface of the further conveyor - in particular the conveyor belt - in the conveying direction upstream of the hot-air final consolidating device is higher than the temperature of the surface of the deposit conveyor or the depositing foraminous belt in the transfer region of the nonwoven web or the laminate to the further conveyor. wherein at least one hot-air pre-consolidating device is provided for hot-air pre-consolidation of the nonwoven web (2, 3) on the deposit conveyor or on the depositing foraminous belt, wherein in the conveying direction of the nonwoven web (2, 3) downstream of the deposit conveyor a further conveyor - in particular in the form of a conveyor belt - is provided for receiving the pre-consolidated nonwoven web (2, 3) from the deposit conveyor, wherein at least one final consolidating device - in particular at least one hot-air final consolidating device - is provided for final consolidation or for hot-air final consolidation of the nonwoven web (2, 3) on the further conveyor or on the conveyor belt, wherein the hot-air pre-consolidation of the nonwoven web (2, 3) can be carried out on the deposit conveyor or on the depositing foraminous belt provided that before transfer to the further conveyor or to the conveyor belt the nonwoven web (2, 3) has a strength in the machine direction of 0.5 to 5 N/5 cm, in particular 0.7 to 3.5 N/5 cm and preferably of 0.8 to 3.5 N/5 cm and wherein the temperature of the surface of the further conveyor - in particular the conveyor belt - in the conveying direction upstream of the hot-air final consolidating device is higher than the temperature of the surface of the deposit conveyor or the depositing foraminous belt in the transfer region of the nonwoven web or the laminate to the further conveyor.
