The new Proslit S1 DT double turret slitter rewinder from Comexi is claimed to provide a 30% increase in productivity over its Proslit Eikon predecessor.
The increase is due to the possibility of working at speeds up to 800m/min with new and shorter acceleration ramps, and to the improved and faster turret change. In addition, Comexi says the Proslit S1 DT will reduce energy consumption, representing savings of between 4-6% over the previous model. The tension range of the machine has been also increased to provide greater flexibility in the range of materials to be cut.
A new support arm system for the turret changeover rotation is standardised in all widths. This arm allows rotation on both sides, top and bottom. With this system, the shaft end in cantilever arrangement is supported during the turret's rotation on a base that keeps it level and fixed. Shaft life is increased and operation is simplified, achieving a more versatile machine. Fully automated download and palletising is also an option.
Comexi, says it has already sold 12 Proslit S1 DT units to customers in Scandinavia, Spain, Mexico, Peru, India, Iran and Turkey.
