Highest Quality from the most experienced company: At IDEA 2016, Optima Nonwovens will inform about its range of packaging machinery for Nonwovens products. Semi or fully automated machinery and complete lines pack with the utmost precision for low speed and high speed applications. Furthermore, machinery by Optima Nonwovens offers maximum flexibility and ideal system efficiency.

The packaging quality is always a crucial factor. With adjustable compression units and high precision processing Optima machines provide the right packaging to best showcase logos and printing at the POS. A multitude of new options are now possible, for example for producing small packaging sizes at high speeds. The machines can be adjusted quickly to a large range of formats. Depending on the machine types format change over is motorized.

Another topic will be the new digitally-based service functions "TCAM" by Optima Nonwovens: TCAM stands for Total Care Asset Management. The aim of TCAM is to increase line efficiency and at the same time to lower production costs. TCAM consists of a digital information tool and a condition monitoring system (optional). With TCAM the packaging lines are completely digitalized, comparable with digital CAD drawings. Maintenance personnel can call up this virtual twin on a tablet or stationary PC, for example. Condition Monitoring automatically generates statements on future servicing requirements of the line via sensors, and as necessary, sends out a warning ahead of time.
