A Bimec TCA/64C turret slitter rewinder was recently installed at Amcor Flexibles Australasia. Joining two existing duplex slitters from the Italian manufacturer at the Brisbane site, the new machine features a maximum unwind diameter of 1,000mm and rewind diameter 610mm.
The TCA/64 runs a wide variety of products at its maximum speed of 700 m/min. The turret design allows the machine to run almost continuously at high speed. During the 18 sec indexing period, finished rolls are indexed, new cores are positioned, the web is cut and a new cycle begins.
Fully automatic tension systems are said to control all zones precisely whilst programmable lay-on roll pressure “ensures repeatable quality day after day”. Finished rolls are delivered to a scissor lift trolley for manual wrapping by the slitter's semi-automatic unloading system.
