The cantilevered unwind and rewind shafts provide quick roll change whilst the servo control systems ensure precise spooling. All Alpha spooling machines are of heavy duty construction for long life.
Pancake rolls may be produced on a slitter rewinder such as an ALPHALAB TWIN slitter or on a single knife log slitter.
Examples shown:
- Twelve station modular spooler type ALPHASPOOL 6 configured for adhesive tapes and foams. Features cantilevered unwind with interchangeable slitting box, multiple pull rolls, and simple threading path.
