Innovating tissue roll handling: Bolzoni Group showcases expertise at MIAC 2025

The tissue paper industry is one of the most vibrant segments of the broader paper market, fuelled by growing demand for hygiene products, sustainable packaging, and high-speed converting technologies.
This evolving landscape calls for smarter, safer, and more efficient handling solutions.
And when it comes to forest product handling, AURAMO forklift truck attachments are the point of reference.

Bolzoni Group, with decades of experience and a specialized product line under the Auramo brand, is worldwide recognized as a trusted partner for manufacturers, converters, and logistics operators in the paper industry.

Thanks to close collaboration with leading paper producers, Bolzoni Group has developed deep expertise in managing the unique challenges of tissue rolls handling. These products, characterized by high-volume and low-density composition, require exceptional care during transport and storage due to their sensitivity to pressure. This understanding has shaped the development of tailored solutions that combine efficiency with product protection.

Expertise that moves the tissue industry forward: AR-RT paper roll clamp
At the heart of Bolzoni Group’s offering for the tissue sector is the AR-RT tissue paper roll clamp, a solution specifically engineered to meet the delicate demands of tissue roll handling. Designed for large-diameter, low-density rolls, the AR-RT combines lightweight construction with high clamping precision, ensuring safe and efficient operations even in high-volume environments.

“The AR-RT clamp is engineered to meet the unique demands of tissue roll handling,” says Teemu Jauhiainen, Bolzoni Group Forest Product Manager. “With capacities ranging from 1.500 to 6.000 kg (3,300 to 13,200 Lbs) and roll diameters up to 2,700 mm (106’’), it’s designed to handle even the softest rolls. Its fast and accurate 180-degree rotation system improves handling efficiency and reduces the risk of roll end damage.’’

Precision starts at the contact point: contact pads designed for tissue paper
A key feature of the AR-RT clamp lies in its dedicated contact pads, developed specifically for the tissue paper industry. These pads are engineered to provide maximum grip while applying minimal surface pressure, protecting the integrity of even the most delicate rolls.
Available in a variety of shapes, and coatings, the pads are tailored to suit different paper grades and operational needs. Their modular design allows for easy replacement and customization, ensuring long-term performance and adaptability.

Robust solutions for paper bale logistics: the Silver Line LC-G bale clamp
Engineered for intensive use in paper mills, recycling plants, and logistics centers, the LC-G model is particularly valued in the paper sector for its robust design and ability to handle bales of recycled paper and pulp safely and efficiently.
This paper bale clamp features robust, well-protected components designed to withstand wear and tear in demanding environments. It is ideal for minimizing costs without compromising performance. High tensile aluminium profiles, reversible and interchangeable with wear-resistant plastic inserts, ensure long life and low lifetime costs.

Versatility in material handling: Bolzoni lift table model 1E-Rot
At MIAC 2025, we present also the BOLZONI lift tables, showcasing significant benefits for the paper processing industry. To include a lift table into the production line enhances efficiency and minimizes the risk of injury, creating a safer workplace for operators.
Compact and robust, this lift table brings real value wherever ergonomic positioning, lifting, or rotating of loads is required, making it a valuable asset in packaging, converting, and warehouse applications.

Its user-friendly design and reliable performance make it an excellent choice for companies seeking to optimize workflow and enhance workplace ergonomics, whether in the tissue industry or beyond.
