UCT Launches UNICO365: Its New Smart Cutting Solution for High-Density Tissue

United Converting Tissue (UCT), a global leader in tissue converting technologies, officially launches UNICO365, its latest innovation designed to meet the growing demand for high-density tissue rolls. This trend is intensifying in territories with vast land areas where road transportation represents a significant environmental and logistical cost.

Higher-density products offer advantages in absorbency and durability, reducing the use of packaging and the number of shipments. However, they also impose greater technical demands: converters require solutions that maintain productivity without compromising quality or efficiency. In this context, UNICO365 presents itself as a comprehensive response to these new demands.

 

HIGHER PERFORMANCE WITH LOWER IMPACT: KEY ADVANCES OF THE UNICO365I MODEL

With more than two decades of accumulated experience and over 100 industrial installations worldwide, UNICO365i has been developed to enhance operational efficiency. The updated version achieves a cutting speed of 140 cuts per minute, reduces waste from 5% to 3%, and lowers the carbon footprint of the finished product thanks to the use of less packaging and fewer transport loads.

The fully servo-driven machine has already been installed in countries such as the United States, United Kingdom, South Korea, and Singapore. It features a robust architecture, premium components, and integrated technologies that make it an industry benchmark. Its key features include:

• Cutting capability for high-density products using advanced clamping systems.
• Precision and reliability thanks to its servo motor.
• Intelligent software and sensors to minimize waste and blade wear.
• Integrated Vortex cooling system for the blade.
• High-performance commercial-grade components.

Interested companies can evaluate UNICO365’s performance with their own specifications using the interactive simulator;

A CLAMPING SYSTEM THAT REVOLUTIONIZES PRECISION AND PROTECTS THE BLADE

One of the major differentiators of this solution is its patented clamping system, specifically designed to cut dense logs without damaging the product surface, while simultaneously addressing one of the main challenges in logsaw operation: blade overheating.

The system consists of three independent clamps with an innovative separation mechanism: once the cut is completed, the clamps automatically open a 5 mm gap, avoiding unnecessary contact between the blade and the product. This technical detail produces concrete benefits:

• Reduced mechanical wear.
• Longer blade lifespan.
• Reduced sharpening frequency.
• Improved cut quality, especially on dense or multi-layered products.
• Reduced material waste.

With this technology, UCT proves that precision goes hand in hand with intelligence.
