Produce toothbrushes with plastic anchors on the Z.ORCA and CUBE machines
Small machine adaptation, big impact for the environment
From now on, toothbrushes can also be produced on the proven ZAHORANSKY Z.ORCA and CUBE machines without the use of metal anchors. Instead, plastic anchors can be used. Existing machinery or new acquisitions only need to be minimally adapted for this. ZAHORANSKY thus offers its customers the opportunity to further develop their product range in line with current consumer wishes and market trends easily without high investments. In the oral care sector, consumers are also increasingly making their purchasing decisions based on the eco-balance of the products – pure plastic toothbrushes perform better than conventional toothbrushes with a metal anchor. For example, fully recyclable toothbrushes or models where only the brush head needs to be replaced are in vogue. ZAHORANSKY's aim is to provide manufacturers with technologies with which product innovations can be realized in terms of sustainability. With this aspiration, the EDGE was launched in 2024 – a machine that enables the production of anchorless mono-material toothbrushes with maximum design freedom thanks to an innovative process.
More sustainability, more efficiency, familiar performance
To be able to produce the so-called mono-material toothbrushes on the ZAHORANSKY Z.ORCA and CUBE machines, only the corresponding assembly needs to be adapted. Instead of the previously used metal anchors, the filaments in the brush head are then fixed with plastic anchors. As the toothbrush body, filaments and anchors are made of plastic, toothbrushes that are no longer used can be easily and completely recycled - a plus for the eco-balance. At the same time, the machines score points with the usual ZAHORANSKY safety and product quality. With a tufting speed of up to 1,200 bundles/min, the same performance is possible as when using metal anchors. The use of plastic anchors can also be interesting in terms of more economical production, as the material price is lower than for the metal version.
