inline with a press or a separate offline unit the Opal turret meets the
demands of high production outputs with consistent quality.
The Opal turret range is available in 3 web configurations, 330mm, 410mm and 510mm. The design of the machine incorporates a fully automatic 4 spindle turret with a range of different shaft sizes. This can also be adapted to 2 spindle mode for running larger diameters. The machine can be set to run a given length or number of labels and will then cut and transfer the web without stopping the machine. The finished rolls are ejected from the machine automatically leaving the operator only to load cores. This is a continuous cycle all the way through the parent roll giving non-stop production.
Transferring onto new cores can be completed by core glueing or our patented glueless cinch which ensures the use of no glue on the product.
Using our experience from the wider web machines, our knowledge in tension control has been transferred to the Opal series of machines. The machine is controlled by a PLC and interface making the operation of the machine simple.
Some of the optional equipment that can be added to the machine include:
