Catbridge Machinery introduces a new heavy-duty surface winder designed to significantly increase productivity and safety. Time-saving features shorten production cycles and allow more jumbo rolls to be processed per shift. These features include a rugged shaftless floor pickup unwind, high-capacity hydraulic systems, web threading and core positioning assists, core diameter presets and a streamlined finished-roll discharge process. In addition, a comprehensive safety system protects machine operators throughout the slitting and rewinding process. This system uses risk-reducing designs as well as devices such as a safety PLC, guards and sensors. Besides throughput and safety advantages, the 215 surface winder offers a wide range of tension control for handling very heavy to very lightweight materials. The 215 runs at speeds to 4000 fpm and rewinds to a 60” diameter, with an optional rewind diameter to 84 inches.
