Do you need slitting and rewinding machinery for paper, foil, film, or allied web industries? If so, finding the ideal converting equipment, or a duplex slitter-rewinder, is key. Today, leading companies manufacture an extensive range of options. That said, working out which solution is best for your business is not always easy.
In the following sections, we’ll explore four different duplex slitter rewinders. We’re here to help enterprises narrow the field when making their selection.
Sapphire S2 Duplex Slitter Rewinder
Leading the dedicated range of duplex slitter rewinders is the Sapphire S2T. It has earned an international reputation for its speed and versatility. At high speeds, the Sapphire duplex slitter rewinder delivers the most precision. In fact, it can process any flexible material substrate. This makes it a perfect option for operations where many materials are used, and work rates are high.
The Sapphire S2T was designed to deliver an easy-to-operate manual solution. It requires minimal intervention from operators via an automated slitter rewinder. By employing cutting-edge control technology, the machine is simple to operate. As a result, it provides the flexibility required by many converters. As mentioned, the Sapphire S2T is adaptable. It is available in different unwind configurations to meet most products and applications.
Every form of slitting is possible on the versatile Sapphire S2T. It comes equipped with a wide array of automation solutions for the slitting station. This can make knife set-up simpler and swifter. This superior level of automation extends to the machine’s rewind section. Useful features can be accommodated. For instance, automatic core positioning and automatic core indication.
Enterprises that involve medical products will find the Sapphire S2T ideal. In these environments, hygiene levels are paramount. Employing no hydraulics in its construction, it presents a clean solution. All unwind activities are electrically powered. Advanced vacuum roller systems deliver tension isolation between the rewind and unwind. This is for ease of operation. As a result, no operator maintenance or intervention is necessary.
Additionally, roll handling solutions can also be offered from the rewind, within the Sapphire ST2. Again, this can be configured to fit an operation’s specific requirements. You have a choice of basic fixed pedestals or robotic systems supplying wrapping and labelling.
Diamond Duplex Slitter Rewinder
The cantilevered Diamond T model is a twin-shafted slitter rewinder. Enterprises requiring exceptional performance levels will find this machine a perfect solution. This includes those who need to operate within a restricted budget. Modular by design, the Diamond T can maximise production output in a cost-effective package.
While it might be a lower-cost option, the Diamond T’s design is based on the Sapphire S2T. As a result, it can cut through most web-based materials. Like the aforementioned flagship model, it has also been engineered for easy operation. This is without mentioning its impressive running speeds of up to 500mpm. Its unwind can manage a maximum diameter of 40 inches, but a range of widths is available to suit different applications.
Companies looking for a solution they can configure to match operating requirements will find the Diamond T a worthy choice. This is all thanks to its modular design. For instance, it is offered as a single-piece unit with an integrated unwind. Otherwise, it can come with a separate unwind feature. With this design, the slitting station can be accessed with ease. What’s more, extra equipment can be accommodated when necessary.
Solitaire Duplex Slitter Rewinder
The sophistication of the narrow-web industry includes varied products and wider printing presses. As a result, the finishing machine must also rise to the occasion. To meet this challenge, the Solitaire was developed. It boasts a compact design and a small footprint. As a result, it can provide operations with limited space with a suitable slitting machine.
This powerful machine can cope with papers, aluminium foils, laminates, and pressure-sensitive products. In fact, it’s able to handle every type of film substrate. Like the Diamond T, the Solitaire was developed using technology employed in the Sapphire ST2 series. As a result, it has the ASHE vacuum roller technology for tension isolation and automatic diameter control.
The Solitaire has been designed to be adaptable to the needs of different operations. To minimise changeover times, it is available with a dedicated duplex turret rewind. Extra features designed to minimise operational downtime are also offered on this model. This includes fully or semi-automatic systems for knife positioning and laser core indication.
Onyx Duplex Slitter Rewinder
Like the Solitaire, the Onyx series slitter rewinder takes up a small footprint. This makes it a viable option when available space is at a premium. Despite its size, the Onyx presents a versatile machine. It is completely kitted out with everything required to handle every kind of web-based material. Companies that are working to a strict budget will find the low cost of this machine appealing. At the same time, it is also simple to use, ensuring effective operation and sound work rates.
The Onyx is designed to manage different web widths with a choice of 53 or 65 inches, depending on requirements. To keep costs low, it is engineered with a shaftless unwind stand that has a fixed height and is integrated. The machine’s top speed is 400 metres per minute. When materials handled need slitting and rewinding, the Onyx can be equipped with a slitting station.
