FW-5050 Floss Winder
The FW-5050 Floss Winder is designed to support efficient, high-volume winding of dental floss onto bobbins used in consumer oral care products. Built for dental floss manufacturers, contract packagers, and private label producers, the system delivers consistent bobbin formation while maintaining precise control over tension and length throughout the winding process.
The FW-5050 Floss Winder is designed to support efficient, high-volume winding of dental floss onto bobbins used in consumer oral care products. Built for dental floss manufacturers, contract packagers, and private label producers, the system delivers consistent bobbin formation while maintaining precise control over tension and length throughout the winding process.
Modern floss materials can be difficult to handle with traditional winding equipment. High-memory fibers and non-PTFE materials often create tension issues that lead to uneven winding, tangling, or production slowdowns.
The FW-5050 addresses these challenges with a servo-controlled unwind and take-up system that maintains uniform tension and allows manufacturers to process a wider range of floss materials with greater reliability. Automation built into the winding process helps improve efficiency and product consistency.
An actuated hot-wire cutting system produces clean cuts that reduce inner tail length, while integrated thermal tail sealing helps prevent bobbins from unraveling during downstream packaging and transport. These features help reduce scrap and support smoother assembly and cartoning operations.
Designed for real-world production environments, the FW-5050 also emphasizes ease of operation and maintenance. Recipe-based controls allow operators to switch between bobbin lengths and product formats with minimal setup, while durable components and improved dust containment support reliable operation and cleaner production spaces.
