Products are focused on performance, flexibility, scalability and innovation

At INDEX, GDM will promote its complete product portfolio of baby diapers, adult open, lady and light incontinence lines, turnkey packaging solutions and its Option Zero program. With specific reference to medium-high speed manufacturing machines, GDM offers effective solutions responding to its customers’ needs in terms of flexibility and production performance.

Machines of note include the B8-W Grey, a GDM baby open diaper line that helps customers face production challenges through innovative Zero Time technologies, minimizing size change and raw materials setting adjustment time according to manufacturers’ specific needs.

Based on magnetic floating principles, GDM's patented innovation “Linear Motion technology” is employed providing full chassis width regulation, eliminating hardware replacement and set-up. Within the Rear Wings application, thanks to its joined actions with the dynamic shaping unit, it is possible to produce up to four baby open diaper product sizes with no mechanical components replacement.

For the most flexible solution GDM has also developed E-cams that, installed on the final accelerator of Rear Wings application, manage the final pitch adjustment, minimize machine setting time without any mechanical regulation.

Meanwhile, B10-W Red is GDM’s best in class performance baby open diaper line, producing up to 1000 ppm with high efficiency and reliability results. Its new development handling extra thin cores allow an optimized product absorption thanks to the high core integrity. The machine is targeted for companies looking for market expansion thanks to its high productivity. A5-MR Red is designed to manufacture adult open products with rectangular panels that, thanks to the Zero Waste design, allow to minimize material waste and unitary product cost. Real panel lamination with elastic material ensures product wearability and increased consumer’s comfort. GDM's A5 technology ensures high product quality level and process control at a speed up to 500 ppm.

GDM also plans to introduce an extended range of technological and product innovations, particularly focusing on discrete material application and gentle material handling, training pants evolution and waist band on topsheet at INDEX.
