OMET: one partner for smarter production

In the tissue converting sector, the coordinated management of the entire production process is a key factor for efficiency and competitiveness. OMET offers an integrated model that includes both converting lines and solutions for primary and secondary packaging, acting as a single point of contact for the entire production process—from the reel to the pallet—ensuring reduced downtime and optimized resource organization.

Relying on multiple suppliers for each production phase can present challenges in terms of compatibility and operational coordination. To address these issues, OMET develops solutions that guarantee an optimized and continuous production flow. In addition to its well-known reliable and innovative tissue converting lines, the company offers a complete range of machines for primary and secondary packaging, including cartoners, case packers, and palletizers.

The OMET automated cartoner is designed to meet various packaging needs for both hand towels and paper napkins, accommodating a wide range of formats, from cube-shaped boxes to traditional rectangular boxes. This machine is developed to handle future-oriented and increasingly sustainable packaging, while its low maintenance and service costs ensure overall product management savings.

Case packers, available in both horizontal and vertical loading configurations, support a wide variety of formats and can be easily adjusted to accommodate different product types and case sizes. To further reduce costs and waste with a more eco-friendly approach, they can be configured to bypass primary packaging, allowing direct boxing of loose products coming from the upstream folding machine.

The process is completed with the palletizer, which arranges packaged products onto pallets ready for transport, optimizing space and ensuring load stability.

The integration of these technologies enhances operational continuity, increasing the overall efficiency of the entire system.

Internal analyses indicate that adopting a unified system can lead to a 20% reduction in maintenance costs and a 30% decrease in plant downtime compared to non-coordinated solutions. These figures highlight how process standardization and automation can make a significant difference in terms of productivity and economic sustainability.

OMET’s approach aims to balance operational efficiency and technological innovation. Configurable solutions allow adaptation to various market needs, while advanced automation and control systems improve line management and monitoring. Digitalization plays a key role in this process: the adoption of intuitive interfaces, remote control systems, and predictive diagnostics simplifies operations, facilitates maintenance planning, and ensures more efficient resource utilization.

Another fundamental aspect is the focus on sustainability. OMET’s technologies aim to minimize raw material waste and optimize energy consumption, reducing the environmental impact of production. The ability to offer an integrated solution also helps eliminate unnecessary logistical waste and optimize the supply chain, providing tangible benefits in terms of emission reduction and ecological footprint.

OMET’s global technical support network ensures continuous assistance and rapid spare parts availability, helping to minimize downtime and improve operational reliability. Using a single system for both converting and packaging simplifies production management and optimizes resources, eliminating the complexity of coordinating multiple suppliers and enhancing overall efficiency.

Looking toward the future of the industry means considering integrated solutions that improve both productivity and overall process sustainability. OMET continues to develop technologies tailored to these needs, contributing to the evolution of tissue converting and packaging. The advantage of relying on a single technology partner goes beyond production optimization—it provides the tools needed to face market challenges with more advanced, reliable, and efficient solutions.
