GOEBEL IMS to showcase its range of slitter rewinders for the paper industry at drupa

GOEBEL IMS T2
The T 2 slitter rewinder machine

GOEBEL IMS will showcase its entire range of advanced slitter rewinders for speciality and standard papers, technical papers, board and aseptic packaging materials at this year’s drupa show in Düsseldorf.

At the world’s top trade fair for print and cross-media solutions, GOEBEL IMS will be exhibiting one of its top sellers, the slitter rewinder T 2. The slitter rewinders RA 2 and OPTISLIT were developed especially for converting technical and pressure- and surface-sensitive papers.

The slitter rewinders in the T 2 series, also known as AP 22 in the aseptic packaging industry, offer maximum productivity. These slitter rewinders are particularly suitable for converting speciality and standard papers, coated and uncoated papers, board and aseptic packaging papers. The basic model of the T 2 features a top winding quality at a working width of up to 2,200mm, a rewind diameter of up to 1,800mm and an unwind diameter of up to 2,500mm. The slitting concept guarantees outstanding roll separation. The T 2 enables conversion speeds of up to 1,200m/min. All machines of this series work with a single-shaft centre-driven winding concept equipped with an idle lay-on roller. They can be used as bi-directional inspection rewinders for repairing telescoped or damaged rolls as well as detecting defections.

GOEBEL IMS offers a wide range of equipment options with many different automation features. Thanks to its ergonomic and flexible design, the T 2 can be adapted to individual customer needs and specific requirements with a large choice of options. A fully-automatic version is available with a variety of additional features, for example a handling and conveyor system for improved unloading and transport, thereby significantly increasing the productivity and efficiency of the production process. In addition, the slitter rewinders in the T 2 series can also be equipped with a customised splice table, automatic knife positioning, double unwinder for a fast change of mother rolls as well as automatic unloading and roll transport systems. In addition, an oil-free version (without any hydraulic function) is available.

For the converting of technical papers, GOEBEL IMS offers the RA 2. This slitter rewinder was developed especially for pressure-sensitive or coated materials, such as siliconised papers. The winding concept prevents the paper’s surface from being damaged during conversion – thanks to a centre winder that uses non-driven contact rollers to generate consistent web tension. Automation components for roll handling, labelling and palletising are available on request.

The OPTISLIT is a special machine for converting pressure-sensitive and surface-sensitive papers, such as thermal papers. This slitter rewinder and winding machine with centre winding allows the contact pressure and web tension to be set with extreme precision, guaranteeing premium quality of the finished rolls. The OPTISLIT is ideal for manufacturing both large rolls with shaftless winding and narrow rolls with block winding on rewind shafts. With a working width of up to 5,000mm, a rewind diameter of up to 1,650mm and a running speed of up to 2,500m/min, it ensures maximum productivity and quality in paper production.
