SurfastartT 2000/3000
Our Surfastart winders are designed for in-line slitting and winding of large diameter product rolls on continuous process lines. Applications well suited for this winder include boards and laminates over 50 inches (1,270mm) diameter as well as non wovens sensitive to inwound tension. Features include a 30 or 36-inch (762 or 914mm) diameter winding drum; precision nip pressure control; optional center-surface winding capability; optional single and dual tangential shear slitting section; and an integrated "S" wrap pull roll section. The Surfastart also features a controlled incline ramp for finished set rejection and roll-stop braking. These features combined with the automatic self-contained roll and shaft handling system, improve productivity and minimize scrap.
Highlights of SurfastartT 2000 and 3000:
- 108-inch (2,743mm) max diameter with a 20,000/30,000 pound (9,072/13,608 kg) capacity.
- Widths to 160 inches (4,064mm).
- Stationary knife transfer; grab knife, rope transfer, and plow knife.
- Programmable nip loading in primary and secondary arms.
- Secondary rails with replaceable rail tops.
- Primary arm and secondary loading carriages mounted on linear rails.
- Dual brakes for both sides.
- Optional support roll system for winding on small diameter core shafts.
- Machine mounted controls and operator interface.
- Optional tertiary full roll eject arms
- Optional shear/score slitting arrangements available.
- Optional semi automatic roll removal and core loading.
Next Generation Surfastart Winder
This winder is capable of winding at elevated process speeds while eliminating the bottleneck associated with cycle time limitations of roll removal and core loading, typical of conventional surface winders. Cycle times of four minutes are easily achievable. This machine is ideally suited for applications such as heavy board coating which requires fast cycle times and paper coating which requires precise alignment of the primary arms. Features include 30-inch (762mm) diameter winding drum; precision nip pressure control; and an optional single and dual tangential shear slitting section. Roll handling features include floor mounted lift table, shaft puller/shaft inserter, over head gantry, and semi automatic optional automatic core loader.
Highlights of Next Generation Surfastart:
- 72-inch (1,828mm) max diameter with a 12,000 pound (5,443 kg) capacity.
- Widths to 120 inches (3,048mm).
- Rope transfer or plow knife cut-off system.
- Programmable nip loading in primary and secondary arms.
- Primary arm and secondary loading carriages mounted on linear rails.
- Secondary arm carriages serve for both loading and ejecting the roll to the lowering arms.
- Primary arms are hydraulically actuated and tied together by a common torque shaft eliminating link mechanisms and gear segments.
- Dual friction brakes for both sides.
- Optional support roll system for winding on small diameter core shafts.
- Machine mounted controls and operator interface.
- Integral semi-automatic roll handling.
- Optional shear/score slitting arrangements available.
- Optional automatic core loading.
