Create your own and unique hanky, toilet paper, wipe, napkin or facial tissue and raise your margin, quality and company attraction. Your products have to convince the customer of its benefits within a few seconds, but there are many competing products, so how can yours stand out from the crowd? The answer is added value! Individualize your products by lotionizing with skin caring products, balms with vitamins or fragrances. However, the product should still be environmentally friendly, tear-resistant, soft and, of course, budget-priced.
The task calls for giving your tissues individual properties
The inventive company from south Germany with a long history and in close cooperation with manufacturers of additives, has developed a precision system based on a proven technology: the non-contact fluid application system. This provides numerous benefits for the tissue industry.
Precision and reproducibility
Based on rotating, spraying discs, a uniform stream of finest micro-droplets is generated at a high speed to accurately give the tissue its individual properties. The application volume can be controlled quickly and precise for reproducible results. “Because less is sometimes more – it is the effect that counts”, emphasizes Carolin Russ, product manager at WEKO.
Less strain on the tissue
The mechanical tissue strain does not come into play with the WEKO-Fluid-Application-System (WFA). There is no contact with the tissue and therefore it is handled extremely carefull. The rotation of the discs create a 360° spray circle from which a part is used that meets the tissue. The remaining part of the spray circle is kept in the chambers of the rotor carrier and is circulated to the supply unit where it is re-used. By continuous filtering the liquid, contamination of the bath and clogging is no big deal. As a special option for this industry WEKO thought about a solution to prevent the tissue web from sticking and so breaking if the machine is being stopped.
Tissue lotionizing with softeners, fragrances, caring substances
High flexibility and user-friendliness
The individual components of our rotor carrier WEKO-SIGMA can be adapted to a wide variety of plant technologies with minimal space requirements. Specific and for the respective application, format setting allows quick changing to other product formats.
Chemicals are available for a wide variety of requirements. Whether spraying to one or both sides, on individual or compound layers, flexibility is ensured.
High productivity and economy
Through the application of liquids the product value of your tissue can be significantly increased, and so high-grade products can be manufactured. Our encapsulated version WEKO-ProTec provides the rotor carrier with an enclosure which can be connected to an extraction system. Contamination of the working environment is avoided and thus safety generated. Ensure your market position easily and step into the market of high value customized products.
