We got rid of the gearing that drove the inner rollers for the separator because it had been problematic.  We made it easier to be modular.  Easier to change spindles and run.  Easier to web.  We've eliminated a separate electrical cabinet so when you move it, no more rewiring for 4-5 hours.  Now if you want to move it, just pick it up, skid and move it.  We incoporated ultrasonic tail tie to eliminate glue." ### EASIER PLUS FASTER = Next Generation Wipes Production "In general, we made it easier for the customer, all the while making it faster for more throughput," summed up Mathy.  "All in all, a good result in making a great machine even better."   **![MATHY.jpeg](https://blog.elsnereng.com/hs-fs/hubfs/MATHY.jpeg?width=320&name=MATHY.jpeg "MATHY.jpeg")**   John Mathy, Lead R & D Engineer --- [**Learn more about our latest and greatest converting machinery for wipes production,  the ENR-G3**](https://www.elsnereng.com/solutions-menu/household-non-woven/enr-g3?highlight=WyJnMyJd)                   Do you want to know more about how Elsner makes it easy to incorporate automation into your production lines?  Download our Automation Ebook: [![Get Automation Ebook](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/2328153/5d599cc4-76f3-4939-b0e1-7df0ac6bcf52.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/2328153/5d599cc4-76f3-4939-b0e1-7df0ac6bcf52)   ---   [converting equipment](https://blog.elsnereng.com/topic/converting-equipment), [Nonwovens](https://blog.elsnereng.com/topic/nonwovens), [American-made](https://blog.elsnereng.com/topic/american-made), [converting machinery](https://blog.elsnereng.com/topic/converting-machinery), [rewinder](https://blog.elsnereng.com/topic/rewinder) ## Read On ### [ELSNER MODEL ERS-180 CANISTER STUFFER IS NOW AVAILABLE Announcement Expands ELSNER’s Turn-key Capabilities for Canister Wipes Production March 4, 2022,...](https://blog.elsnereng.com/elsner-model-ers-180-canister-stuffer-is-now-available) ### [ELSNER ADDS ROLL BAGGER TO WIPES MACHINERY LINEUP Announcement Continues Expansion of ELSNER’s Capabilities for Rolled Wipes Production](https://blog.elsnereng.com/elsner-adds-roll-bagger-to-wipes-machinery-lineup) ### [ELSNER'S CONVERTING MACHINERY HELPS ALLIED HYGIENE RISE FROM THE ASHES: AS SEEN IN IDEA 16 NEWS In the early morning of January 21, 2015 a fire ripped through the Allied Hygiene plant in the...](https://blog.elsnereng.com/elsners-converting-machinery-helps-allied-hygiene-rise-from-the-ashes-as-seen-in-idea-16-news) ## Elsner Engineering   Made in the U.S.A.        ©2024 Elsner Engineering Works, Inc. 475 Fame Avenue, Hanover PA 17331 U.S.A.
