In the US, Davis-Standard recently supplied a Modulant slitter winder that is said to have reduced the customer’s downtime while significantly improving roll quality. The machine is being used for manufacturing extrusion coated materials for the fluid packaging industry.
The new winder replaced an older Black Clawson slitter winder that had been in continuous operation for nearly 40 years. The customer expects the new machine’s rugged design will provide the same reliability with roll quality that is “far superior” to what it had previously been able to produce.
The Modulant, as the name suggests, is modular in design and designed for high production, shaftless slitting and winding of roll diameters up to 1,900 mm at up to 1,830 m/min. Non-wovens, paper and paperboard can be handled.
Features of the machine include regenerative electronic tension control; a Quick-Change shaftless winding system; large, 609mm diameter individually driven, traction coated winder drums for stable winding and improved roll quality; and a hydraulically actuated rider roll beam with a patented Flextronic rider roll relief system for superior roll density control.
This model also features self-contained roll removal to minimize space requirements and automatic sequencing for high productivity. A WebFlo air conveying threading system enables single person threading and the Integrator Pro computer system provides recipe control and historical data collection.
