Cuff Construction with Patented Ultrasonic Bonding

CEC Module – Single-Step Cuff Elastic Attachment & Fold Closure

The CEC Module performs cuff elastic attachment and fold closure in a single ultrasonic bonding step. In traditional adhesive-based construction, these operations are typically completed in two separate steps. By combining them into a single ultrasonic process, the CEC Module simplifies machine design, reduces process complexity, and improves production efficiency.

CAT Module – Precision Cuff Attachment and Tackdown

The CAT Module attaches and tacks down the cuff to the topsheet with precision and consistency. This controlled ultrasonic bonding process helps maintain product integrity while supporting reliable high-speed manufacturing.

The CAT Module features dual ultrasonic horns and a built-in wear-mitigation system to help extend the life of the horns and anvils. This supports long-term durability and reduces maintenance in high-volume production environments.

The dual horn design also gives manufacturers greater flexibility to produce a wide range of product widths and configurations, making it easier to adapt to evolving product designs and market requirements.

Cuff Elastic Cunstruction with Ultrasonic Bonding

Adhesive-Free Ultrasonic Elastic Attachment for Nonwovens

OVERVIEW

Dukane combines decades of high-speed hygiene converting expertise with patented ultrasonic bonding modules specifically designed for cuff construction. These solutions improve product performance while simplifying manufacturing and increasing production reliability.

By eliminating adhesives, Dukane’s ultrasonic cuff construction modules enable a cleaner, more efficient manufacturing process while improving product softness, elastic performance, and wearer comfort. The patented elastic entrapment process maximizes bond strength while minimizing variation, ensuring consistent product quality at high production speeds.

With durable components, simplified process controls, and easy integration into existing converting lines, Dukane systems help manufacturers reduce maintenance, increase uptime, and streamline production.

KEY BENEFITS AND FEATURES

Superior Leak Protection and Comfort

Ultrasonic cuff construction helps hygiene products achieve more reliable containment and improved wearer comfort. By bonding elastic strands and folded materials without adhesives, ultrasonic technology preserves material softness while allowing elastics to perform consistently against the body.

This controlled bonding approach enables closer elastic spacing and more consistent cuff tension, helping products achieve stronger containment, superior leak protection, and enhanced comfort.

The ultrasonically bonded cuff structures remain softer and more flexible. This supports consistent elastic performance around the leg openings, strengthening containment and ensuring consistent product performance during use.

High-Speed Construction for Modern Hygiene Lines

Dukane’s patented RS Series Rotary and iQ RAM ultrasonic horns provide high-speed bonding solutions for cuff construction. Paired with Dukane’s patented Bond Balance Technology, these systems optimize bonding performance across varying material density patterns during production. This enables manufacturers to maintain bond consistency, process stability, and product quality even at high line speeds.
