FI-U Premium is Fameccanica answer
to the market request for High-Speed machines
for rectangular absorbent pads like bed
hospital underpads, pet disposable pads
and baby changing pads.
“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.
Solid, see-through, highly accessible and
almost totally “sound-proof”
safety guards. |
|
The machine is equipped with
off-line unwinders with brushless servomotor driven
expanding spindles that are specifically designed
for wide materials. All unwinders
feature web accumulation systems for “Zero-Speed”
splicing at full machine speed. Special devices
for easy web preparation are employed.
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 brushless servomotor equipment, guarantee the
best web tension control along the whole web flow
and allow for reduced tension in case of accurate
application of delicate materials. |
|
The machine is equipped with
an
extremely efficient absorbent core forming
system allowing for effective fluff +
S.A.P. blend application. As this machine is
targeted to
the manufacturing of a wide range of product types,
this forming system has been designed to achieve
extremely homogeneous forming even when very
low core base weights are needed: tests
conducted on our Customers’ machines showed
underpads ranging from a very low-cost
36 g/m2 to over 150 g/m2 and
over.
Higher values can be achieved, if needed.
An efficient solution is given to make the size
change operations easier, as the forming
drum system is installed on a independent sliding
frame and operators have maximum access to all parts.
MODE DIP Mill (Fameccanica.Data
patented technology) for highly efficient fiberization
with low power consumption; double infeed
system with brushless servomotors for cellulose
pulp web advancing and automatic splicing
capability.
Mill is integrated so that the fiberized pulp is
immediately conveyed to the rotary drum
forming. The machine can be equipped with
one or more mills according to the amount
of fluff pulp needed. |

State-of-the-art process
units are utilized to guarantee the effectiveness
of each step of the manufacturing process. Each
of them include the most advanced features
needed for the specific application and
for long life of the components.
Size-change operations are quick
and effective as most of them are executed via control
panel. |

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 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 on industrial PC platform
with Microsoft Windows interface. This system, specifically
designed by Fameccanica, allows for the effective
collection, storage and analysis of production
data (production, scraps and downtime,
Pareto charts). It is suitable for connection to
any current network for remote technical assistance. |
|
| A wide range of specific equipment
can be installed for process air filtration (self
cleaning rotary filters, dry sacs systems, equipment
for connection to centralized plant filtering systems,
etc.). |
|
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. |
