| MAIN
FEATURES |
|
|
The machine features a “longitudinal”
manufacturing process and has been designed to cover
a wide range of products.
This machine can also be equipped with additional
modules for the manufacturing of standard
baby diapers.
“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. |

The machine is equipped with innovative
low-tension unwinders. 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 control
with single dancer, web accumulation system and
automatic “zero-speed splicing”
systems with “cut&splice” devices.
Special devices for easy web preparation are employed.
These unwinders minimize the stress on materials
during splices keeping web force lower than 10 N,
thus allowing for the use of less expensive materials
and, in turn, for the reduction of final product
cost; this system increases machine efficiency
due to the reduced downtimes.
The cross-wise position of materials is controlled
through electronic web tracking and self-alignment
equipment. |

MODE DIP Mill
(New 2008 released version with enhanced performances)
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. |

Fameccanica-design process
guarantee the effectiveness and the accuracy 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. According to the
specific units, typical characteristics are: temperature
control (heating or chilling) systems, fine adjustment
systems, re-phasing systems, integrated lubrication
systems, torque limiters and devices for easy disconnection.
Special solutions are in use for
the elastic stretch panels forming to make this
system suitable for the accurate coupling of materials
with different characteristics of elasticity
in cross-direction, to guarantee the adequate
fit to the final training diaper. |
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 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 |
|
|
|
New Fameccanica DATAMATE
system is available and integrated in the converter
operator panel, for the collection, storage and
analysis of production data (production, scraps
and downtime).
Additional functions for specific requirements are
available with Fameccanica Datamate “Plus”:
an advanced version allowing also for the monitoring
of raw material consumption and for multi-shift
statistical analysis. |
|
| 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.). |
|
| 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.). |
