Maflex upgrades industrial tissue cutting with LADON Evo for high-demand AfH lines

A new generation of industrial log saws

Italian tissue converting machinery specialist Maflex has introduced LADON Evo, the latest evolution of its log saw platform designed specifically for the Away-from-Home (AfH) industrial sector. Building upon the foundation of the LADON Plus, which is capable of reaching up to 120 cuts per minute, the new LADON Evo redesigns cutting dynamics, accessibility, and control to handle logs of higher density, diameter, and resistance.

The AfH market, which includes products for workplaces, hospitals, and high-traffic commercial facilities, demands robust and reliable equipment. Maflex has focused on a specific blade trajectory designed to reduce mechanical stress, thereby improving both the stability of the machine and the quality of the final cut. This development addresses common operational challenges reported by converters, such as process instability and component wear.

Engineering for process stability

According to Jonathan Ciomei, R&D Manager at Maflex, the focus of the LADON Evo is not solely on speed, but on process stability, cutting precision, accessibility, and reliability. These factors are critical in industrial tissue converting, where the cutting phase of professional rolls is increasingly affected by the growing complexity of day-to-day machine management. The new design aims to mitigate these issues through advanced engineering choices.

The LADON Evo integrates into Maflex's modular philosophy, allowing for flexible configurations tailored to the specific needs of the professional and industrial tissue market. This modularity ensures that the production system can be updated over time, maintaining its relevance and efficiency as market demands evolve.

Industry context and future outlook

The tissue industry in 2026 is facing increasing demands for higher productivity, product quality, flexibility, and sustainability. In this environment, converting has become a key driver of differentiation and competitiveness. The introduction of the LADON Evo aligns with these industry trends, offering a solution that enhances operational efficiency and product quality.

Maflex's commitment to technological innovation is evident in the development of the LADON Evo. By addressing the specific challenges of the AfH sector, the company continues to solidify its position as a significant player in the global tissue converting machinery market.

The LADON Evo represents a significant step forward in industrial log saw design, offering a robust and reliable solution for the demanding AfH market. Will this new generation of log saws set a new standard for process stability and cutting precision in the tissue converting industry?
