Valmet tissue converting technology: The Perini Proxima S8, efficiency and flexibility to boost productivity.
In today's converting sector, the ability to adapt quickly to the needs of the Away From Home market, handle different products with ease and guarantee high quality standards is essential. It is precisely in this context that the Perini Proxima S8 was created: an industrial rewinder designed for those looking to increase their production levels while focusing on automation, safety, flexibility, and performance.
The Perini Proxima S8 is designed to deliver optimal performance in terms of speed and versatility. It can reach speeds of up to 800 meters per minute, enabling it to sustain very high production rates while maintaining consistent quality in the finished product. It can handle parent reels of up to 3,600 mm and produce up to 30 logs per minute with diameters ranging from 110 to 350 mm. This enables it to respond promptly to the needs of a constantly evolving market that requires a wide variety of products.
The real strength of the Perini Proxima S8 lies in its complete automation. The fully automated product changeover system enables all winding parameters to be adjusted directly via the HMI panel, eliminating the need for manual adjustments inside the machine. This maximizes operator safety and reduces product changeover times by up to 50% compared to traditional rewinding machines, directly impacting the OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) of the line.
Building on the success of the Perini Proxima S6, designed for the medium-level market and highly regarded for its versatility and adaptability to different production contexts, the Perini Proxima S8 stands out as an ideal choice for many AFH lines. The S8 model, on the other hand, has been developed for the high-end market, meeting the requirements of high-capacity production lines and larger formats. Sharing the mechanical architecture and advanced technological solutions of the Perini Proxima S6, it guarantees superior performance while maintaining the high standards of quality and reliability that distinguish Valmet machinery.
Both machines enable customers to select the most suitable model for their production scale and objectives without compromising on quality.
The S8 model is proving particularly popular with converters operating in environments where productivity is a daily priority. In North America, for instance, numerous industrial companies are seeking solutions that can sustain high production rates, optimize operating costs, and ensure consistent output. The Perini Proxima S8 integrates perfectly into these environments, offering reliable performance and simplified process management. Even in Western Europe, where aspects such as ergonomics, safety and sustainability are prioritized, the machine has found its place in modern, innovation-oriented plants, confirming its versatility and the benefits it brings to different production situations.
When used alongside the new Perini 114 industrial log saw, which is fully automated and designed to ensure excellent cutting quality, it guarantees maximum flexibility and production quality.
This philosophy has been confirmed by the sale of over 25 lines worldwide and numerous positive customer reviews, which recognize Valmet as a technology partner capable of driving production growth and offering concrete solutions to the daily challenges of the Away From Home market.
Choosing the Perini Proxima S8 rewinder means adopting technology that simplifies processes, speeds up production times and improves operational management, enhancing every aspect of the line: from time to safety to the quality of the finished product. It is a choice that marks a concrete evolution towards smarter, more sustainable and more competitive production.
