Innovation offers absorbent product change flexibility
October 21, 2021

Curt G. Joa, Inc. is introducing its patent-pending ESC-8 technology, the latest innovation in product size change flexibility. The ESC-8 technology increases product and insert combination capabilities, electronic size change capabilities, and speed. Offering annual savings on material costs and replacement size change hardware, the ESC-8 technology can be integrated into existing machines, regardless of the original manufacturer, with minimal downtime.
The ESC-8 technology enhances and simplifies product performance features to improve product quality. The product insert is handed-off only once when placed onto the chassis web, eliminating unnecessary waste. Adhesive is applied all the way up to the end of the product insert, minimizing the risk of loose ends. Adhesive is also applied directly to the insert web, greatly reducing risk of exposed adhesive on the product insert.
This technology allows the user to configure nearly endless combinations of insert length and width and chassis pitch at high speeds with the push of a button. ESC-8 technology offers a wide range of chassis product pitches, electronic chassis pitch change, toolless insert pitch change and full machine speeds on all sizes. In other news, the company has unvieled a modernized corporate logo, which retains the essence of the brand and its long history of quality while setting the stage for Joa’s transition into the future. The logo features a refreshed version of the shield from its legacy logo, symbolizing its continued commitment to protecting its customers’ reputations through worldclass, quality hygiene converting machinery.
