Elsner has announced the introduction of the Elsner Model ERS-180 “One-Eighty” Canister Stuffer to its wipes production converting machinery line-up.  

“When we are designing and building our equipment, we are always thinking ‘what is next?’” says Jay Roth, Elsner’s director of sales. “We try to think of what else we can automate and how we can deepen relationships with our customers. Stuffing has long been a pain point and we’ve worked to solve that challenge by designing a stuffer that’s fully integrated with our ENR-Series rewinder. We can now provide a full production line with a reduced number of suppliers from master roll to wipes in canisters.” 

Elsner has been manufacturing world-class fully automatic perforator rewinders for wipes production for decades. With hundreds of machines in dozens of countries, Elsner has been part of driving the evolution of the wipes industry since it produced its first perforator in the 1970s. In reaction to Covid-19, Elsner has sold more ENR-Series machines than ever and have turned focus to providing solutions to keep the production not only moving but moving smoothly.

“The challenge of linking the rewinder to the packaging equipment has been an issue for many of our customers,” says Bert Elsner II, president/CEO of Elsner. “We took it upon ourselves as experts in the industry to master the transition and integration. The result is the ERS-180 that allows for the smoothest integration in the industry and a true turn-key solution.”

The One-Eighty is built to typical Elsner standards with specifications that make production more efficient than ever. The name One-Eighty Canister Stuffer comes from the fact that the machine is built to reach 180 canisters per minute to match the output of the Elsner ENR-G3.
