FUTURA is a wet wipe folder extremely versatile, a reference for the whole market. It is totally configurable, matching any customer operation need for significant production volumes at reduced costs.

Fast and precise.

FUTURA is a wet wipe converting line for length-folded products, characterized by ultimate versatility.
By selecting the right options from its catalogue, FUTURA can match any requirement based on speed, product formula or even operation habits or constraints. It can be configured with a wide range of lanes, from 12 up to 100, and with pinch cutting (up to max 24/25 lanes) or roto orbital saw.

FUTURA can work with precut rolls or semi-jumbo, automatic splice, zero speed splices.
It can have integrated CIP, multiple folds. You can add vision quality systems, multiple wetting stations, specific features to handle delicate materials like flushable paper based nonwovens.

Production speed goes up to 720 cuts/minute (for low lanes number) with any type of substrate, even the most delicate paper-based flushables.
FUTURA can handle wipes width up to 380 mm, and even beyond with specific customization.

The totally configurable wetting system allows:

  • one or more sanitary pumps with dedicated flowmeter, for perfect lotion dispensing on each wipe
  • adjustable width or fixed width wetting bars, one per lane, to minimize lotion waste
  • free choice of pre-fold wetting, post-fold wetting or both together, depending on substrate type

FUTURA can be provided compliant to ATEX (explosion-proof) standards, to safely produce and handle wet wipes soaked in Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) or any other flammable liquids.

Some specific features (timing belt for die cut feeder belt, easy change folding plows, intermediate pressing belt) allow to reach performances which are the best in the market.

A plurality of packaging options (flow-wrapper) are available, in accordance to speed and volume needs.
This converting line is equipped with an extensive use of automation, in order to retrieve machine setting by HMI (Human Machine Interface)
