A New Level of Comfort: How VoluMAX3 Is Ushering In the Next Generation of Nonwoven Hygiene Product Manufacturing

Press | April 23, 2025

When technology is invisible yet still perceptible, true innovation is created. With their new VoluMAX3 production line, SAUERESSIG and A.Celli demonstrate how well-being can be reimagined.

In life, it is often the small, inconspicuous things that have a major impact on everyday life. A diaper, a sanitary pad – products that receive little attention in daily life, yet are essential to our well-being. They need to be reliable, feel comfortable and provide dependable protection – all without being consciously noticed. For many people of all ages who depend on reliable protection, they are indispensable. And yet, for a long time, their design was driven more by functionality than by comfort.

Today, however, skin-friendliness, wearing comfort and a dry, pleasant feel are just as important as pure functionality. But what really makes a good diaper or a gentle sanitary pad? And how can we make something that is already good even better?

The Secret Lies in the Manufacturing Process

For decades, we at SAUERESSIG have been setting standards in surface finishing, the development of functional surface structures and innovative machine technologies – particularly in the field of hygiene and nonwovens. Our solutions noticeably improve what cannot be seen: delivering greater comfort, skin-friendliness and safety in everyday life.

Together with the Italian machine manufacturer A.Celli, we have now combined our expertise in an integrated solution that makes a real difference – for manufacturers, for end consumers and for what we value most: comfort and safety. One thing is clear: hygiene products are no longer simple consumer goods. They are true high-tech products. They must be extremely absorbent, skin-friendly and gentle – all at the same time. VoluMAX3, the latest development in our collaboration with A.Celli, makes exactly that possible. Softer, drier, better – a milestone for hygiene products.

What Does Innovation Feel Like?

The new generation of diapers and sanitary pads produced using the new VoluMAX3 promises to set new standards:

Softer than ever – Noticeably gentler contact with the skin provides greater comfort and well-being, even for the most sensitive skin.

Optimised liquid absorption – Liquid is absorbed and distributed more quickly, ensuring a consistently dry and secure feeling.

For every age – From baby diapers to adult incontinence products, the requirements may differ, but the solution remains the same: maximum comfort.

What makes it special is that these improvements are achieved not through chemical additives, but through precisely structured materials that are processed more intelligently. This is made possible by our decades of experience in technologies that transform simple materials into high-performance products.
