WEKO highlights the role of controlled fluid application in tissue paper quality

In the tissue paper industry, small adjustments in the production process can generate significant impacts on the final product quality. Characteristics such as softness, bulk, strength, embossing definition and print quality are increasingly decisive for brand competitiveness. In this context, controlled fluid application has consolidated itself as a strategic solution, and this is precisely where the technologies developed by WEKO come into play.

Specialized in non-contact spray application systems, WEKO offers solutions for the tissue sector that enable precise intervention at different stages of the process, directly influencing paper performance.

PLY BONDING: GREATER STRENGTH WITH PRECISE CONTROL

Multiplied tissue products require efficient bonding between plies to ensure mechanical strength and stability during use. According to WEKO, its systems enable the controlled application of liquids between paper layers, promoting more uniform and consistent adhesion.

This approach contributes to the production of stronger multilayer papers without compromising important sensory characteristics such as softness and flexibility. Precise control of fluid quantity and distribution reduces excess and prevents negative impacts on the production process.

EMBOSSING AND BULK: PROCESS EFFICIENCY AND ENHANCED SENSORY PERCEPTION

Another critical point in tissue production is the formation of embossing and paper bulk. WEKO points out that controlled moistening of the material facilitates the embossing process, allowing embossing creation with a lower need for mechanical pressure.

The result is a product with greater bulk perceptible to the touch, improved visual appearance and enhanced softness perception—attributes valued by the end consumer. In addition, reduced pressure in the process can contribute to lower equipment wear and greater operational stability.

PRINT QUALITY: PAPER PREPARATION MAKES THE DIFFERENCE

Printing on tissue paper presents specific challenges due to the nature of the material. According to WEKO, paper preparation through controlled moisture application improves ink acceptance and reduces printing defects.

This treatment contributes to sharper patterns, greater design definition and higher visual uniformity of the finished product. For manufacturers focused on aesthetic differentiation and visual identity, this factor becomes an important strategic ally.

TECHNOLOGY APPLIED TO PRODUCT PERFORMANCE

By acting directly on critical process variables such as bonding, embossing, bulk and printing, WEKO solutions demonstrate how precise fluid application can raise the quality standard of tissue products. More than a specific improvement, this approach integrates process efficiency, technical performance and sensory perception.

For process engineers, industrial managers and product development teams, this type of technology represents a relevant tool for optimizing production lines and meeting the growing demands of the tissue market.
