Coil wiping

Reel or cloth for wiping?

Paper towel rolls come in a multitude of manufacturing variants depending on the final destination, the desired autonomy, and the wiping comfort, each meeting specific needs. Of course, in places with high consumption, a Tork Reflex type dispenser system is often necessary to control dispensing.
To have a roll of paper towels, you will need to install a roll of paper towels dispenser or a floor-standing roll unwinding system. This will allow you to ensure controlled consumption and, for closed dispensers, improved hygiene, especially if this dispenser is located near a soap dispenser .
The question of whether to have a wiping system on a roll or in the form of a pack of non-woven wiping cloths, for example, may also arise.
