United Converting Tissue (UCT) has launched the latest generation of its UNICO365 logsaw into the global tissue market.
Now with an increased cutting speed of 140 strokes per minute, the company said the updated line is designed to “solve today’s cutting challenges with durability, accuracy, and performance beyond industry standards.”
Lorenzo Lupi, Vice President Sales and Marketing, told TWM: “The tissue converting industry is undergoing a significant transformation.
“One of the most notable trends is the shift toward higher-density tissue rolls, especially in territories that have large land masses requiring extensive, high polluting road haulage to deliver.
“We have launched the UNICO365 logsaw in response to this.”
He added that the updated line now offers better absorbency and longer use, reducing packaging and transportation impact.
“At the same time, converters are expected to meet these demands without compromising speed, precision, or quality – which creates substantial stress on existing cutting systems,” he said.
UNICO365 is the result of over two decades of expertise and feedback from more than 100 industrial logsaw installations worldwide.
The recently updated machine now has a cutting speed of 140 strokes/minute, reduces operational waste from 5% to 3%, and has a lower finished product carbon footprint due to less packaging and fewer trucks or containers required for transport.
Lupi added that a key innovation that sets the UNICO365 apart is its patented clamping system: “It is specifically engineered to support cutting of high-density logs without damaging the product surface – while simultaneously solving one of the most critical pain points in logsaw operation: blade overheating,” he said.
The UNICO365 has already been installed in the USA, UK, Korea and Singapore.
