This year, Atlas Converting Equipment is celebrating 50 years of slitting and rewinding technology for its Titan range of machines. To mark the occasion, special Open House events will be held during the autumn at the Atlas factory in Bedford, UK, and at Atlas Converting North America in Charlotte, North Carolina, when the latest Titan slitter technology will be demonstrated, together with partner suppliers.
All Titan slitters sold for delivery during 2014 will feature a special 50th Anniversary machine livery and those customers will also receive a commemorative gift.
The first Titan duplex slitter was built by Frank F Pershke in 1964 when the company was based in London's East End, and within 10 years the Titan name had become established as a successful twin-shaft cantilever slitter rewinder, exported and installed in many countries around the world.
The current SR9 Series offers many novel design features to maximise productivity and rewind reel quality for converters.
According to Atlas, there have now been more than 2,500 Titan installations in over 70 countries.
