|
“Cross-direction”
manufacturing process.
“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. |
|
Special attention has been paid
to modularity to easily customize the machine
for different structures.
The machine can be also be equipped to manufacture
product versions for refastenable pull-up
diapers (specific Fameccanica patent pending
version) or can be prearranged for the future installation
of the upgrade kit.
A wide range of product dimensions can be manufactured:
from the baby pull-up pants to
the smaller sizes of adult pull-up pants
on the same machine. |
|
The machine is equipped with unwinders
with motorized expanding spindles (one motor per
reel), tension control with dancers, web accumulation
systems and automatic “cut&splice”
systems.
The cross-wise position of the product structure
materials is constantly controlled through electronic
web tracking and self-alignment
equipment.
Additional tension control
devices, guarantee the best web tension
control along the whole web flow and allow for reduced
tension in case of accurate application of delicate
materials. |
|
MODE DIP Mill
(Fameccanica.Data patented technology) for highly
efficient fiberization of pulp with low power consumption;
special hardening system for fiberizing teeth; double
infeed system for pulp web advancing and
automatic splicing capability,
even suitable for on-line mixing of two different
pulps.
The rotary drum forming allows for the manufacturing
of contoured, flat or longitudinally and/or cross-wise
profiled pads.
“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. |

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.
A thoroughly tested Turn&Repitch Unit
is employed. This unit has been optimized
to guarantee the best performances and the lower
time for change-over operations. In addition, the
dimensions of the Insert Pad and of the Product
Width can be optimized so that change-over impacts
on the Turn&Repitch unit are minimized.
The machine can be equipped with different systems
for the product edges sealing: sealing process can
be thermo-mechanical or ultrasonic
according to the production speed requested and
product specifications required. |
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 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).
|
|
| 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. |
