Wet wipe converting line
Optimize your production with a versatile and precise solution designed for high-quality wet wipe manufacturing, ensuring minimal waste and seamless integration into your existing operations.
Converts, Folds, and Packages Wet Wipes
The GENESIS Wet Wipe Converting Line from the IMA Group is a highly reliable system tailored for producing a diverse range of wet wipes, from baby wipes to industrial cleaning wipes. It seamlessly integrates folding, cutting, wetting, sealing, splicing, labeling, and packing, all within a continuous, high-speed operation. Engineered with flexibility in mind, it handles up to 12 pre-cut rolls with options for manual or automatic splicing. The system’s individual wetting stations ensure precise and uniform liquid distribution, crucial for maintaining product quality. Preserving efficiency, GENESIS minimizes waste to less than 3%, requiring only one to two operators, thereby lowering operational costs. The fully servo-controlled design and ATEX compliance enhance safety and performance when using flammable liquids. For ease of maintenance, it includes a CIP system, facilitating quick changes and minimizing downtime. This makes GENESIS ideal for start-ups and small-scale producers aiming for multiple daily changeovers without compromising on quality or efficiency.
