Jonathan Roberts talks with Giovacchino Giurlani about the F1 rewinder Wind and Seal, one the new to the world converting solutions that Futura has created.

Swing Line is the new, completely flexible line that represents the latest technological evolution developed by Futura in the consumer and professional markets. The secret of the new line resides in the combined system which both accumulates and cuts. This system allows the production of professional rolls and those made for domestic use to be joined together. Futura’s patented double-pitch accumulator simultaneously manages and guides the logs to the cutting phase, performed by the CUT system, which offers limited space necessities, high speed, and a high-quality finished product. Alternatively, the logs with a wider diameter are fed to the Janus band saw. In the end, minimal obstruction translates into faster, more efficient production of rolls. “The unique...

With its new JOI embosser, Futura has honed a universal embosser designed to achieve utmost simplicity, flexibility and performance. It features new technologies believed to be unique in the industry. Zero DefleXion roll technology, a proprietary development from Futura, prevents deflection of embossing cylinders, puts an end to rubber roll crowning and eliminates the need for skewing . It also enables the converting of an evenly embossed sheet at any working pressure. A temperature control system for pre-heating and cooling of rubber and steel embossing rolls can be integrated, which ensures maintenance of even temperature and therefore consistent operation. Futura promises quick and easy roll change, including, for the first time in the tissue industry, the...
