MAIN FEATURES
  GENERAL MACHINE CONCEPT
“Full servo technology”: each process unit is independently driven as well as each material feeding and transport system so that machine set-up and format change operations are easier and each process step can be quickly adapted when different materials are used or operating conditions change.
“Full modularity”: the machine is modularly designed so that it can be accurately configured for the specific product structure agreed. Future upgrades are easier as the upgrading kits can be easily plugged to the existing configuration.
“Easy installation and start-up”: thanks to the high integration of utilities inside modules, it is possible to achieve the best results even in terms of quick installation at the Customer’s plant and future relocations become easier.
  RAW MATERIAL FEEDING
Two different modalities for the reel unwinding of most raw materials: on-line or off-line. Both include unwinders with servo-driven expanding spindles, tension controls with dancers, and automatic "controlled-speed splicing" systems with "cut&splice" devices. Web accumulation systems are applied for specific materials.
The cross-wise position of the product structure materials is constantly controlled through electronic web tracking and self-alignment equipment.
Additional tension control devices, with servo-driven equipment, guarantee the best web tension control along the whole web flow and allow reduced tension in case of accurate application of delicate materials.
Several solutions are available for the feeding of specific materials like elastic bands, elasticized ear-tapes, tape tabs, frontal tape (on-line assembly or pre-assembled materials, standard or high diameter reels, etc.).
  ABSORBENT CORE FORMING
MODE DIP Mill (Fameccanica.Data patented technology) for highly efficient fiberization of any kind of treated or untreated pulp with low power consumption; special hardening system for fiberizing teeth; servo-driven double infeed system for pulp web advancing and automatic splicing capability, suitable for on-line mixing of two different pulps.
The machine can be equipped with one or more mills.
The rotary drum forming allows for the manufacturing of contoured, flat or longitudinally and/or cross-wise profiled pads and is suitable for “ultra-thin” absorbent core formation.
“Multistream” forming capability allows different absorbent core designs and effective S.A.P. blend applications.
The machine can be integrated, as an option, with the new Fameccanica Su.Per.Form. Module, the Superior Performance Forming Module specifically designed for “ultra-thin” absorbent core formation, high ratios SAP/Fluff, high pad integrity, maximum pad weight accuracy.
  PROCESS UNITS
Fameccanica-design process units are in use to guarantee the accuracy of each step of the manufacturing process. Each include the most advanced features needed for the specific application. Typical characteristics are: temperature control (heating or chilling), fine adjustment, push-button operated re-phasing, integrated lubrication, torque limiters and devices for easy disconnection.
Specific table hoist available for easy loading and unloading of complete leg shaping unit for fast size change-over.

BEST Technology: elastic back ears without trim (Fameccanica patent pending)
BEST is an advanced, smart, technology for the cutting and placing of shaped back ears that will allow converters to save hundreds of thousands dollars per year, through the most efficient use of very expensive materials.
With BEST asymmetric shaped elastic ears can be produced without trim, thus allowing for the manufacturing of an added value product with substantial cost saving and outstanding investment pay-back.
New process units have been developed to guarantee a high speed performance and process reliability.
Moreover, special solutions are in use to guarantee high flexibility and easy format change through the introduction of new specifically designed, electronically controlled process units, thus allowing operators carrying out the main size change operations via software panel.

FAMECCANICA LASER CUTTING TECHNOLOGY
The FAMECCANICA LASER CUTTING TECHNOLOGY is a proven turn-key solution specifically developed by Fameccanica for the purpose of cutting and shaping disposable articles such as lady sanitary napkins, panty shields, baby diapers and training pants, adult diapers and adult pull-up pants.
The system provides:
- high flexibility during operations
- lower overall costs
- easier management of size change
- elimination of cutting unit-ops and spare parts handling
  DRIVE TRAIN AND MOTION CONTROL
First class brushless servomotors and digital drivers are employed and accurately networked to make each process unit run synchronized at any time.
  LOGIC CONTROL OF MACHINE FUNCTIONS
Machine Functional Control is supplied by a powerful PLC with distributed I/O allowing for the easiest implementation of retrofitting modules.
Programmable Limit Switch for an accurate management of electronic phasing (glue application, etc.).
“Touch-screen” control panel, for centralized management of all machine operation phases (start-up, shut-down, changeover).
Alpha numerical display of operation messages on machine running mode, downtime and automatically rejected products.
  QUALITY CONTROL
Quality control system with raw material presence and/or application control and automatic rejection of defective products, to guarantee top-quality production targets.
Visual web inspection system available.
  PRODUCTION DATA SUPERVISION
Product data management system is available for the collection, storage and analysis of production data (production, scraps and downtime, Pareto charts).
  AIR FILTRATION
A wide range of specific equipment can be installed for the filtration of the air needed for the manufacturing process (self cleaning rotary filters, dry sacs systems, equipment for connection to centralized plant filtering systems, etc.).
  SAFETY
According to final destination, the machine can be designed in compliance to local safety regulations (CE for European Countries, and UL or CSA for North American Countries, etc.).
The whole machine has been designed keeping in mind operators' safety. Continuous improvements are accomplished thanks to dedicated internal audits.
Safety guards with safety switches and security locks are installed.
Different kinds of jib hoists are available, including special types designed for easy and safe semi-automatic reel-handling from the pallet to the machine.
