Converting equipment for production of flat packs, are characterized by wide range of capacity and versatility paired with limited footprint.
In fact end users can choose capacity, from 80 up to 600 packs/min, according to any need. Versatility is huge because of capability to process all substrates, even the most delicate ones like “flushable” materials, and to fold in any possible way. Reduced footprint is obtained thanks to an advanced type of stacker that avoids usage of extremely long arrays of rolls.
One single module equipment using a “wheel” technology that builds cutting, folding and stacking. This allows reduced footprint and a precise wipes stack to properly feed the flow wrapper downstream. Use of multiple lanes, (2, 3 or 4) allows tailoring equipment to your own needs from 1.200 up to 3.200 wipes/min (or 200 packs/min).
Our converters are capable of using a wide range of substrates (even dispersible) with quality vision systems and maintenance support.
IMA Teknoweb is always focused on covering the production of the entire range of wipe types available on the global market. Perforated rolls, in particular, are experiencing a surge in demand, attributed partly to the use of flexible films and/or easily recyclable packaging.
To address this trend, IMA Teknoweb has developed a perforator rewinder specifically for rolls made of pre-cut nonwoven material, compliant with the latest sanitary and safety guidelines (GMP).
Wet mitt and gloves are used as bathing gloves and are particularly appreciated by hospitals or any other environment where bedded patients are taken care of. Gloves can be completed with additional features as two different nonwovens for the two sides of the product, internal impermeable film to protect hands of users, and the insertion of an elastic wrist, to firmly secure glove to the user.
IMA Teknoweb’s equipment can manufacture a very large range of masks profiles, thanks to special rotary blades specifically tailor-made according to the printed artwork provided by the customer. Even masks with a particular art that require a precise cut from the substrate can be produced (e.g., printed profiles in the shape of an animal face).

Acknowledging environmental challenges, we collaborate globally to find eco-friendly alternatives to traditional materials like PP, PE, or viscose.
Our innovative process enables the production of fabrics which can be:
| 100% plastic-free
| recyclable
| dispersible
IMA Teknoweb advocates for recyclable monoPE film packaging, enhancing the quality of reusable polymers. Overcoming challenges like lower wet strength and higher heat sensitivity, our cutting-edge technology ensures eco-friendly materials are processed efficiently, allowing for manufacturing speeds of 300 stacks per minute and packing at 250 packs per minute. This sets a new standard in the wet wipes industry.
OPENLab is the IMA Group’s network of technological laboratories and testing areas, dedicated to the research on sustainable materials, technologies and production optimisation processes.
OPENLab’s objective is to create partnerships, finding new sustainable materials, sharing competences and creating synergies. Our customers are welcome to test their nonwovens recyclable materials whitin the OPENLab.
Among the latest trends in wet tissue products, Moist Toilet Tissues (MTT) are definitely on the rise. Such products are commonly used as an alternative to dry toilet paper (flushable wipes), offering a more thorough and refreshing cleaning experience. MTT is typically pre-moistened with water or a gentle cleansing solution to provide effective cleansing and freshness after using the toilet. These personal hygiene products are mostly used both at home and away from home, combining the convenience and effectiveness of wet wipes with the eco-friendlier nature of toilet paper.
Manufacturers like IMA Teknoweb recognize the importance of MTT in addressing consumers’ diverse needs for personal hygiene products. They innovate in this space to ensure that MTT meets high standards of quality, effectiveness, and environmental sustainability. This may include using eco-friendly materials in the production process and ensuring that the packaging is recyclable or biodegradable.
Cosmetic face masks are widely used as a daily routine skincare product, which gives benefits such as improved skin quality by providing nourishment and cleanliness to the skin. Increasing air pollution, dust, smoke, and high temperatures across the globe has increased the demand for such products. Cosmetic masks are clinically skincare products that are essentially used in skincare specialty hospitals and clinics or by the consumer itself, as well as gloves are widely spread to help with daily cleaning routines those who are not able to provide such basic actions themselves.
IMA Teknoweb’s equipment can manufacture a very large range of masks profiles, thanks to special rotary blades specifically tailor-made according to the drawing provided by the customer. Even masks with a particular art that require a precise cut from the substrate can be produced (e.g., printed profiles in the shape of an animal face).
Wet mitt and gloves are more and more popular and gaining tractions in some specific geographies. They are used as bathing gloves and are particularly appreciated by hospitals or any other environment where bedded patients are taken care of. Disposable glove manufacturing usually comes in flow packs of 5, 8 or 12 pieces, and in and general they are microwaved for a few seconds to warm them before use. Gloves can be completed with additional features as two different nonwovens for the two sides of the product, internal impermeable film to protect hands of users, and the insertion of an elastic wrist, to firmly secure glove to the user.
IMA Teknoweb MARK II GLOVE can reach a stunning production speed, up to 600 gloves/min fully wet, setting new market standards.
Standard floor mops, resembling wet wipes, are designed to fit cleaning tools. While only their central area is utilized during sweeping, the side areas merely secure the product in place. Traditional products use the same nonwoven material throughout, resulting in excess weight without added user benefits. Conversely, a design with a dense absorbent center and lighter sides enhances performance at the same cost, allowing for additional features like a scratching stripe. MARK II FLOOR produces up to 400 fully wet pieces per minute, packed in flowpack or tray.
Dry cleaning wipes, rapidly growing in popularity, feature high loft nonwovens that trap dust in their fibers and are often electrostatically charged for enhanced dust-catching. They are available in various folding and packaging options. IMA Teknoweb’s latest innovation includes perforated rolls packaged in shrink-wrapped transparent film with a printed paper insert. Produced by the KN700 rewinder and perforator, this solution can reach speeds of up to 25 rolls/min in semi-automatic or fully automatic configurations. Other dry wipe types are also available, such as quarterfolded or interfolded.
IMA TEKNOWEB has been supplying from many years dry versions of its converting machines for wipes. Their configuration depends on customer product requirement, to ensure best reliability and performance. The majority of our converting lines can produce dry wipes with standard fabrics, which means that customer can produce a wider range of products on the very same line. Moreover, for more specific fabrics IMA TEKNOWEB can set up dedicated features, due to raw material low basis weight and lack of adhesion between layers. These products include color catcher sheets or softeners sheets among the others. Speed range goes from 100 cpm with scissor die blades up to 300 cpm with high-speed roto-orbital saw.
Alcohol-soaked disinfectant 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 such products, of special disinfectant wipes machines compliant to ATEX (explosion-proof) standards, such as:
