Kimberly-Clark Europe Chooses Futura JOI Embosser

Kimberly-Clark Europe has specified the latest generation Futura JOI Embosser for an existing tissue converting line at its Niederbipp facility in Switzerland. The new JOI Embosser started up in October 2015 and is being used to produce Kimberly-Clark’s high quality multi-ply toilet tissue. The JOI Embosser can operate in various modes, including nested, decorated embossing, and point-to-point, including random point-to-point.

The JOI embosser symbolizes Futura’s (Lucca, Italy) transformational influence on tissue converting. Kimberly-Clark will benefit from patented features such as the Zero Deflexion embossing rolls and supreme flexibility in terms of embossing pattern and configuration changes. JOI has also been designed with optimum safety in mind through guarding and reliable automation of all its main parameters, including nip adjustment.

The JOI Embosser in Niederbipp features the unique Futura Steel Marrying Roll which ensures no re-embossing effect and perfect inner ply definition. It also offers reduced maintenance and simplified cleaning.
