In professional tissue converting, the value of a production line is no longer measured solely by nominal speed, but above all by its ability to ensure operational continuity, process stability, and design coherence. These principles underpin the Hermes line developed by Maflex to meet the demands of high-volume, high-variability production environments.
The system was designed for a U.S.-based converter active in the tissue and nonwoven sector, with applications ranging from toilet paper to professional cleaning, hospitality, industrial, and institutional products. In this context, flexibility and reliability are key factors to ensure consistent production standards across multiple shifts.
A distinctive feature of the solution is the integration of coreless production within a continuous line through the CES (Coreless Extraction System) module, which eliminates the need for dedicated machinery and optimizes investment, space, and resource management. The modular design also allows the system to be configured according to specific production requirements.
The Hermes line consists of UT 200 unwinders, an industrial rewinder with a coreless system, the Metis tail sealer, the LA40 accumulator, and the Ladon Plus cutting unit. The interaction between these modules ensures a stable production flow, reducing interruptions and improving continuity between processing stages.
According to Maflex, the approach behind the project stems from direct observation of everyday production dynamics and translates into a solution designed to combine efficiency, operational simplicity, and process integration.
In an increasingly competitive market, the Hermes line positions itself as an industrial solution focused on production continuity and overall process optimization in professional tissue converting.
