EXIGE Wet wipes making

Machine overview

Fully automatic. Fully performing.

EXIGE is a versatile, reliable and high-speed production system for cross fold wipes.
Available in 2, 3 or 4 lanes in single or double frame, it is fully automatic: from unwinder to wrapper feeding, needing just a few operators for correct functioning, also with no need from them to touch the product.
Equipped with an accurate vacuum-less folding, EXIGE performs at high efficacy and low scrap in order to reduce TCO on any type of substrate, even the most delicate paper-based flushable. Each machine process is adjustable with multiple parameters under the operator’s full control.

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.

ATEX compliant

EXIGE 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.
It features an integrated quality control (Vision System), for non-conformities and  to warn operators when cutting or tucking is not oprimal; this allows to reduce unplanned stops.
Pharma GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) Standards compliant for materials, components and design, in order to minimize product contamination risks.
Process direction is straight without any 90° turns: this gives the machine a superior ergonomy and accessibility.
