Traverse Wound Bobbins (Spooling, Lapping)
We currently have state of the art 12 and 24 head traverse wound bobbin machines on site. Both machines are capable of converting extensible / non extensible, adhesive / non adhesive substrates from 2mm through to 40mm width. This technique gives the converter the advantage to change from conventional pancakes (pads) to a bobbin. In most cases the bobbin meterage can be as much as 15 times the linear metres normally contained on a pancake. To assist in the transition of pads to bobbins, we can supply various de-spooling equipment that take the bobbin to a take-off point which enables the tape to be fed straight into the relevant conversion machine. Foils can also be used to print in the conversion of plastic bags.Unwind diameter = 840mm (12 head) 1200mm (24 head)Unwind width up to 500mm (12 and 24 head)Slit widths 2mm through to 40mm (12 and 24 head)Spool width up to 300mm (12 and 24 head)Spool O/D up to 440mm (12 head) and up to 460mm (24 head)Edge and line guide facilityRazor and rotary shear facility3" (76mm) and 6" (152mm) core facility on both unwind & rewind (12 & 24 head)Full recipe control (12 and 24 head)Products converted to date - 5 micron though to 5mm (dependant on substrate).
