Dear Business Partner,

Keep yourself updated about the latest news in our company ! Applicators for standard-shaped ears (rectangular and Sinus-cut) are part of our portfolio since some years. Today we are presenting our:

High-Speed Baby - Diaper Applicator for “SHAPED ELASTIC EARS”

You can choose between different shapes / Versions of “ears”, such as:

- “HIGH CUTTING WASTE” – shaped Version (“HCW”) - “LOW CUTTING WASTE” – shaped Version (“LCW”) - “ZERO CUTTING WASTE” – shaped Version (“ZCW”)

The concept is based on BICMA‘s well-experienced electronical repitch technology and are designed as stand-alone modules which can easily be added to your existing machines. We are able to modify your existing HCW-version to LCW- or ZCW-versions as well !

Curious to learn more ?

We are looking forward to a personal discussion with you.

Best Regards

Lothar Geiger General Manager
