The output of highly complex nappy production lines at Ontex Mayen has tripled over the past few years without any investment in new machines. This has been made possible by ensuring that the production line runs with virtually no downtime, as well as to continual improvements made on the production process. In addition, set-up times have been reduced significantly. The necessary flexibility when changing to different formats is guaranteed by various linear bearings from igus, which fulfil all manufacturing requirements. The drylin bearings are designed to operate in rough and dirty conditions, working 24 hours a day, 365 days per year.
Ontex Mayen is the European leading manufacturer of hygienic disposable products in the private label sector, offering a wide range of products for baby, feminine and adult hygiene. At one of its plants, 11 lines exclusively manufacture all sizes and variations of babies' nappies which are sold worldwide.
Each nappy production line is approximately 60 m long and produces and packs approximately 1,000 nappies per minute, that's around 17 nappies per second. The throughput time for one nappy is about two seconds and between six and eight million nappies leave the factory every day.
Nappies differ depending on customer requirements and various raw materials, percentages or compositions are used. Some customers want their nappies to be perfectly white, while others want a colourful product.
