Since the beginning, IMA TEKNOWEB has been recognized as innovator in the wet wipes field. Major innovations of last 15 years has been introduced by Teknoweb as web edge guiders for each lane, unwinders for pre-cut rolls motor-less with zero speed splicing, variable width wetting bars, flat pack hi-speed stacker, linear motors in cross fold stacker, straight layout for cross fold machines for better operations,  and so many others.

We strive to be always ahead.

With this objective in mind, we have been executing open collaborations with research centres, partnership with companies belonging to the wipes supply chain. This allows TEKNOWEB to innovate and add value to its products.

We call this process Shaping Innovation.

Alcohol-soaked disinfected wipes for surface cleaning mainly use IPA (Isopropyl Alcohol), which brings into the manufacturing operations many challenges related to its toxicity and high flammability.

Hence the use, for producing disinfecting wipes, of special equipment compliant to ATEX (explosion-proof) standards, such as:

• A minimum amount of ventilation in the cabinet to remove vapor
• A proper enclosure of the machine, safeguarding the operator
• A machine design able to reduce ignition causes, keeping mechanical parts at a low temperature and avoiding dangerous sparks

Wet wipes converting machines use 2 types of cutting unit:

• a simple, low maintenance, less expensive pinch or scissor cutter
• a more mechanically complex roto-orbital disc saw

IMA Teknoweb improved its roto-orbital saw adding features which makes this unit faster (up to 600 cuts/min), more flexible (wider range of cutting length) and more reliable (less maintenance required).

It consists of 2 rotating disc blades which match ribbon speed during cutting action and therefore guarantee a straight, neat, and squared cut.

IMA TEKNOWEB systems for Cross-Fold products (wipes folded both lengthwise and crosswise) are state of the art production lines. Their core unit is converting machine which is tailored on customer need. Use of multiple lanes (2, 3 or 4) allows to set production to 1,600/2,400/3,200 wipes/min.

The machine capabilities are characterised by a wide range of substrates (including the most delicate and demanding), reel type (single or semi-jumbo) and process/product controls, to guarantee maximum levels of performance, reliability and compliance with the strictest specifications.

• Tailored to volume requirements
• Agile for immediate change overs
• Straight layout and full accessibility for operators for highest reliability
• Superior product quality and sanitary design

Wet mitt and glove solutions have been developed by IMA TEKNOWEB many years ago and today represent a clear technological leadership due to reliability and speed of its machines.

Wet mitt are mainly used in hospitals or by caregivers to wash elderly or patients, which are not able to take a shower, by themselves. However, multiple additional markets are discovering these type of products: pet care, household etc.

Discover our proposals to produce reliable mitts with perfect contour sealing (made by ultrasonic guns), wetting and folding. We made it easy and quick: up to 500 ppm properly stacked.
