Do your operations involve processing paper, foil, film, or related web industries? If the answer is yes, sourcing the right converting equipment and duplex slitter rewinders is critical. Today, top-tier manufacturers offer a vast array of choices. That said, pinpointing the solution that best fits your business isn't always straightforward.
In the sections below, we will examine four distinct duplex slitter rewinders. Our goal is to help manufacturers narrow the field. Together, we can select the right equipment for your plant.
Sapphire S2 Duplex Slitter Rewinder
The flagship of the dedicated duplex slitter rewinder line is the Sapphire S2T. This machine has secured a global reputation for its speed and multi-purpose capabilities. Even at high speeds, the Sapphire duplex slitter rewinder delivers superior precision. It is capable of processing any flexible material substrate. This makes it the perfect choice for facilities where a diverse range of materials is used. In these instances, throughput rates are often high.
The Sapphire S2T was engineered to provide an easy-to-use manual solution. It requires very little intervention from the workforce. This is thanks to its automated slitter rewinder capabilities. By using state-of-the-art control technology, the machine remains simple to run. As a result, it offers the agility required by many modern converters. As noted, the Sapphire S2T is adaptable. It is available with various unwind configurations. These suit the vast majority of products and applications.
Every type of slitting technique is possible on the versatile Sapphire S2T. It comes equipped with a broad range of automation solutions for the slitting station. This makes knife setup faster and easier. This high level of automation extends to the machine’s rewind section as well. Valuable features can be integrated. These include automatic core positioning and automatic core indication.
Manufacturers involved in medical products will find the Sapphire S2T particularly effective. In these environments, sanitary standards are non-negotiable. The machine employs no hydraulics in its construction. As a result, it offers a contamination-free solution. All unwind movements are electrically powered. Furthermore, advanced vacuum roller systems deliver tension isolation between the rewind and unwind. This ensures ease of operation. No operator maintenance or complex intervention is required.
Additionally, roll handling solutions can be provided from the rewind section within the Sapphire S2T. These can be configured to fit a plant’s specific floor plan and requirements. You have the choice of basic fixed pedestals or robotic systems that handle wrapping and labeling.
Diamond Duplex Slitter Rewinder
The cantilevered Diamond T model is a twin-shafted slitter rewinder. Businesses requiring exceptional performance metrics will find this machine to be a perfect fit. This includes operations that need to work within a restricted capital budget. Modular by design, the Diamond T maximizes production output in a cost-effective package.
While it may be a lower-cost option, the Diamond T’s architecture is based on the premium Sapphire S2T. As a result, it can cut through the majority of web-based materials. Like the flagship model mentioned above, it has been engineered for ease of use. This is on top of its impressive running speeds of up to 500 meters per minute (approx. 1,640 fpm). Its unwind can manage a maximum diameter of 40 inches. A range of widths is available to suit different applications.
Companies seeking a solution they can configure to match their requirements will find the Diamond T a strong candidate. This is due to its modular design. For example, it is offered as a single-piece unit with an integrated unwind. Alternatively, it can be supplied with a separate unwind stand. With this design, the slitting station is accessible. Furthermore, auxiliary equipment can be integrated whenever necessary.
Solitaire Duplex Slitter Rewinder
The sophistication of the narrow-web industry involves varied products and wider printing presses. As a result, the finishing machinery must rise to the occasion. To meet this challenge, the Solitaire was developed. It boasts a compact design and a small footprint. This allows it to provide facilities with limited floor space a suitable slitting machine.
This powerful unit can cope with papers, aluminum foils, laminates, and pressure-sensitive products. It is capable of handling every type of film substrate. Like the Diamond T, the Solitaire was developed using technology found in the Sapphire S2T series. As a result, it features ASHE vacuum roller technology for tension isolation and automatic diameter control.
The Solitaire is designed to adapt to the needs of different manufacturing environments. To reduce changeover times, it is available with a dedicated duplex turret rewind. Extra features designed to reduce 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
Much like the Solitaire, the Onyx series slitter rewinder uses a small footprint. This makes it a viable option when available plant space is at a premium. Despite its compact size, the Onyx is a versatile machine. It is equipped with everything required to handle every kind of web-based material. Companies working with a strict budget will find the low cost of this machine attractive. At the same time, it is simple to use. This ensures effective operation and reliable production rates.
The Onyx is designed to manage different web widths with a choice of 53 or 65 inches, depending on your requirements. To keep investment 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 meters per minute. When materials need slitting and rewinding, the Onyx can be equipped with a dedicated slitting station.
