Central unwinding reel

The central unwinding reel, easy and economical!

The central unwinding reel is the most widely used paper hand towel by professionals, communities and mainly in catering kitchens or restaurants. The practical and economical design in paper reel that allows you to wipe both hands and surfaces while always having this dispenser at hand. The central unwinding reel dispenser is a multi-standard distribution system whose most widespread reference is the central unwinding reel in 450 sheets .

Central unwinding reel standards

There are different formats of center-feed reels and it is imperative to ensure compatibility with your distributor . A center-feed reel is commonly made to be unwound from the inside after removal (sometimes not very easy) of a cardboard spiral inside the reel. This is why some reel manufacturers offer reels without an internal core which avoids this sometimes not very easy removal and above all saves on the cardboard core on manufacturing. The coreless reel is generally more expensive but you make life easier for users and you will have an eco-responsible action with the reduction of waste through the core.

Spool with or without unwinding mandrel

As we have seen previously, the reel is commonly manufactured around a spiral-shaped cardboard core that must be removed. Several manufacturers offer a central unwind reel without this cardboard core and which are called central unwind reel without core . At Tork, the best-known reel is the reference 121208 which is a two-ply product, food contact, Ecolabel and FSC certified.
The most well-known coreless reel model is the one originally created by Lotus Professional with the Lotus Reflex reel which, in addition to not having a core, was associated with a dispenser allowing controlled sheet-by-sheet distribution . After the acquisition of the Lotus Professional division by Tork, this system became Tork Reflex which exists in a maxi M4 version and a more compact mini M3 version. We will detail later the interest of this system and the alternative offers on the market, in particular with the Lucart L One .

Central unwinding reel

Central unwinding reel sheet by sheet

The drawback of the central unwinding system is that the cutting is often non-existent, which leads to overconsumption. In fact, the user often pulls on the sheets that unwind continuously , usually taking a quantity greater than what would have been enough to wipe the surface or hands. The central unwinding reel is therefore an inexpensive product where the price war is raging on the market and which may therefore seem to be of profitable economic interest, but this is without taking into account the cost of use. If you set up a wiping system where the consumable is inexpensive but which leads to overconsumption , the overall cost is no longer so economical.
It is within this framework of reflection that manufacturers such as Lotus Professional had considered "controlling" the flow of paper leading to the creation of the Lotus Reflex. This system adopted by Tork operates in the form of a specific reel/distributor pair with a studied distribution cone allowing a much more economical sheet-by-sheet distribution.
This central unwinding reel system without a core combined with the ad hoc dispenser allows you to take only one sheet at a time and therefore reduce your consumption by up to 40% or more on certain sites.
Let's take a closer look at the most popular offers on the market with Tork Essity Group and Lucart Group.

Sheet-to-sheet reel unwinding systems

Lucart L One central feed system

The Lucart L One dispenser offers two mini and maxi formats. Lucart offers several varieties of reel including a 100% eco-friendly Ecolabel reel as it comes directly from the recycling of food cartons.

Tork Reflex central feed system M3 and M4 system (Ex Lotus Reflex)

The Tork Reflex system is divided into two formats, maxi and mini. The great innovation of the Reflex concept is the dispensing which is done sheet by sheet and not continuously until the user decides to stop on the traditional central unwinding system.
This generates significant savings while preserving the quality of wiping due to the quality of Tork products. It also generates less waste and therefore presents a more positive environmental balance sheet.
The Tork Reflex M3 system is the MINI size with the 473137 dispenser (Ex Lotus 2239)
The Tork Reflex M4 system is the MAXI size with dispensers 473133 (Ex Lotus 2237), 473140 (Ex Lotus 2250) and portable 473126 (EX Lotus 502020).

Central unwinding reel size, colors, environment

Maxi and mini format unwinding reels

There are two main families of reels which are characterized by the size of the central unwinding distributor and therefore of the associated reel . The choice will be made in relation to the space available for the size of the distributor but also for the desired autonomy. The choice of a mini version of the reel will be made above all in relation to the size.
The most common format is the central unwinding reel 450 formats (sheets) packaged in packs of 6 reels. The reel height varies from 19 to 23 cm depending on the products and the diameter is close to 20 cm.
The second format is the "mini central unwinding" which has a lower number of sheets (150 to 210 on average) and therefore a smaller external diameter (10 to 13 cm depending on the products).

The use of color for the central unwinding reel

In the food industry and catering sectors , where the central unwinding reel is mainly used, the risk of separating pieces of reel and foodstuffs has appeared. Indeed, whether on wiping cloth, a piece of kitchen cloth , a piece of packaging, etc., the risk of contaminating foodstuffs being prepared with foreign bodies exists, even if it remains low.
This is why the blue colour was developed on the central unwinding reel in order to be sure to be able to separate a piece of wadding that would have fallen into food being prepared. This colour coding is particularly useful in food preparation areas when the dispenser is placed directly above a sensitive work surface for example.
The coil also exists in chamois color when it has an industrial destination on garages, workshops, industries....At Lucart the coil like a large part of the EcoNatural range is "natural" color but there is another reason that we will discover now.

Central unwinding reel certification and environment

The problem with disposable products and even more so with this product which is the central unwinding reel with very high consumption is the framework of its manufacture and its recycling after use.
In a word on this type of product, the product life cycle is important.
Therefore, before purchasing a wiping roll, you will have the opportunity to check compliance with the following labels: Ecolabel, FSC but also whether it is suitable for food contact.
Lucart is an innovative manufacturer when it comes to meeting environmental standards and Lucart's EcoNatural range takes this approach to the next level.
The manufacturing method of this Lucart Eco Natural central unwinding reel protects the environment , thanks to the recycling of cellulose fibers contained in the food cartons from which it is derived. A manufacturing method where Lucart has been innovative and pioneering.
This coil is suitable for food contact and can therefore be used in the kitchen and catering without any restrictions .
Recycling food cartons is the path chosen by Lucart to make its product environmentally friendly.
So yes, the color of the reel is not white and immaculate, but it respects the environment while ensuring you standard safety in the kitchen at least equal to the reel you use today!
So make the eco-responsible choice.

To conclude on the central unwinding reel

You will have understood, necessary product but product fought over and therefore degraded sometimes in terms of quality to meet the demand for low prices of the market. So central unwinding reel why not, but opt for a system allowing you to control your consumption and Eco responsible with regard to the environment!
