A new wave in absorbent mats production
OCEAN is IMA TEKNOWEB’s latest converting technology. The machine features a new, patent-pending forming process that produces a very low basis weight core. In combination with the ability to handle the thinnest materials available on the market, OCEAN enables the creation of cost-effective absorbent mats without compromising quality or production speed, setting new industry standards.
Absorbent mats are versatile and can be shaped as bed underpads, baby changing pads, pet pads, and for other typical applications in caregiving faclities.
Production plant
IMA Teknoweb
OCEAN delivers unmatched productivity, producing mats up to 600×600 mm (24×24″) at an impressive rate of 500 pieces per minute (300 m/min).
Process materials as light as <20 gsm without compromising on product quality or performance.
OCEAN operates the entire line with just 140 kW, from unwinding to finished product. Experience significant energy savings with every run.
No more downtime for drum changes. Instantly switch formats with a simple click on the HMI: fast, easy, and seamless.
Effortlessly perform the three most common lengthfold types, combined with two transversal folds, all without changing any machine parts.
Instantly switch between embossing patterns by selecting recipes directly from the HMI: no manual adjustments required.

Ocean is designed to deliver superior performance with a smarter structure.
Thanks to a unique 4-layer configuration, our solution ensures the same, or even greater, absorption capacity compared to traditional 5-layer products. By optimizing the material design, the mat becomes lighter, more efficient, and more sustainable, while maintaining maximum comfort and reliability.
Lower material consumption, reduced production costs, same performance.
The new design allows to save an entire layer (the former real topsheet which is now removed), achieving direct material savings of 10–15% compared to traditional 5 layers design. The result is dramatic material efficiency (absorbent pads up to 31% lighter than average) without compromising absorbency or fluid distribution.
Moreover, it adds a new feature: 4 side strips when made of hydrophobic nonwoven automatically build an all-around barrier against leakages.
Our 5-layer underpad stands out for its sharp edges, consistent core distribution, and high-quality embossing, which enhances product performance while creating a quilted look.
Compared to the 3-layer pad shown, IMA Teknoweb’s offers superior structure and absorption, with no low-density areas, delivering both effectiveness and aesthetics.
