OMET Introduces TV 840 Tronic Double-Lane Automatic Napkin Folding Machine

Efficiency and profitability are the trends that drive innovation in the tissue industry. Research and development are going beyond mechanics, as it becomes more and more difficult to overcome the existing levels of speed, productivity and technical perfection of the parts. OMET has therefore chosen to invest in enhancing the ease of use, the optimization of waste, and the rapidity of set-up operations with its new TV 840 Tronic. Advancing to the top level of automation, OMET can offer a cutting-edge machine able to anticipate the market needs.

TV 840 Tronic is a high-performance double-lane automatic napkins folding machine line including a wide range of high technology solutions. Characterized by reliable and robust construction, it can reach a produce up to 5,600 napkins per minute and a speed of 900 m/min. It can be equipped, on request, with flexo printing units up to nine colors.

The TV840 Tronic, already at the top level of the OMET portfolio, is completely digitalized, equipped with servo motors on each axis, and can be remote controlled by operators or tele-service. The operator panel becomes the control point from which, through the independent servo drives, all machine adjustments are performed in a simple and automatic way involving huge time and waste savings, plus ensuring a better register precision.

A set of cameras send images of the whole line to the operator’s panel, avoiding the need for manual interventions (folding units, transfer unit, embossing station, printing units): all the adjustments, so far done by hand-wheels, now can count on motorized positioners. Furthermore, each group is equipped with a control console on each unit for the management of local settings: ease of use and intuition are the bases on which the entire management of the line is set.

This version of the TV 840 – already in production for several international customers that need a high level of automation beyond the maximum reliability and productivity of the line – is characterized by its high ease of use. Remote control allows improved operator safety, a better quality of the work environment as well as lower physical and mental stress originating from the management of the machine.
