Wiper reel qualities

Embossed cotton spools: Embossed spools are distinguished by their structured surface, offering better absorption and greater mechanical resistance. They are particularly suitable for intensive cleaning tasks.
Smooth Cotton Spools: Smooth surface spools are best suited for uses requiring a flawless finish, such as wiping delicate surfaces or drying hands.
Chamois or blue colored reels: In addition to the classic white, paper towel reels are available in blue or chamois versions. The blue color is often intended for the food industry in order to limit the risk of confusion with foodstuffs and the chamois color for industry for wiping stains on mechanical parts or surfaces (engines, machines, etc.).
Reels dedicated to the food industry: Some references of paper towel reels are specially designed for the food sector, benefiting from certifications guaranteeing their safety. In this case the food contact logo is imperative.
Central or external unwinding reels: The reel unwinding mode, central or lateral, determines the type of dispenser to use for optimal use. This type of central unwinding reel is one of the most used, particularly in the food industry, kitchens, and restaurants outside the home due to its practical and economical aspect.
