THE TASK
INDIVIDUAL PROPERTIES FOR TISSUES
Handkerchiefs, kitchen towels, toilet paper, napkins or cosmetic tissues shall not only clean but offer added value: Better sensation on the skin, a pleasant fragrance or even skin care properties. The product should be environmentally friendly, tear-resistant, soft and budget-priced. This creates challenges but also opportunities for product positioning on the market. The task calls for giving your tissues individual properties.
Refining through liquid application
Properties such as softness and absorbency, sensory effects and even fragrances can be achieved by applying liquids.
THE SOLUTION
NON-CONTACTING LIQUID APPLICATION
Finishing with WEKO-Fluid-Application-System (WFA) such as WEKO-FLOW with WEKO-SIGMA, is a profitable alternative to supplying additives to the pulp. The fibres are not subjected to mechanical strain at this. WFA apply liquids with ultra-fine metering to one or both sides, to individual or composite layers, and can be reproduced at any time. Time required to remove excess substances, to clean or dry systems, can thus be minimised. You will be working productively, with flexibility while saving valuable resources.
THE REALISATION
TISSUES NEED WEKO-FLOW AND WEKO-SIGMA
WEKO-Fluid-Application-System (WFA) for the refining of tissues, comprised of the Liquid Supply Unit and System Controller WEKO-FLOW in various versions and the rotor carrier WEKO-SIGMA. The LAS can be quickly adapted to different applications and product formats.
