Ecowipes, a manufacturer of nonwoven wipes, successfully commissions the WLM 2 line supplied by Voith.
The WLM 2 line, located in Nowy Dwór Mazowiecki, Poland, is designed with a wire width of 3,750 mm and a design speed of 300 m/min, enabling an impressive yearly capacity of about 20,000 tons. The line produces carded/pulp (CP) wipes made from 60% pulp and 40% viscose, specifically tailored for baby wipes applications. These wipes are 100% plastic-free and biodegradable, meeting the rising demand for environmentally friendly hygiene products.
A key highlight of the project is the implementation of the FloatLip Former, utilized for the first time in this application. The FloatLip Former is an innovative machine concept that offers a compact, cost-effective and space-saving solution for the production of CP wipes. It can be substituted for the traditional HydroFormer, providing a more efficient and tailored solution for Ecowipes’ specific needs.
Ecowipes is one of Europe’s manufacturers of eco-friendly hygiene, cosmetic, and household products. Ecowipes specializes in producing dry and wet wipes, cosmetic pads, and cotton buds.
The Voith Group is a global technology company.
