Salvage winder video published.

By
We have published a new video on the Universal X2 Salvage Winder page on our website.  This is the first footage of our popular X2 Salvage Winder (A.K.A Doctor Rewinder) that we have made publicly available.



The X2 variant shown in the video was built to accommodate large roll diameters, and this is worth mentioning because the design of the X2 does change depending on the demands of the processes for which it will be used.

Our X2 is designed to be versatile so trying to list all the processes it is capable of would be impossible, here is a list of some of the more common uses:
  • Salvage winding
  • Recycling waste product (by trimming)
  • Correcting badly wound rolls (by web guiding)
  • Defect removal (using splice table)
  • Print inspection
  • Winding to length
  • Winding from one core size to another
  • Correction tension on rolls
  • Trimming
  • Changing print orientation

Trim removal on slitters

By
A trim fan attached to a slitter. As discussed previously on this blog the process of slitting (at its most basic) can be reduced to the one-line description of ' a big roll is loaded on one side of the slitter rewinder, and smaller rolls are loaded off the other side'  and that's fine... most of the time. Here comes the example! If a 1000mm wide roll is loaded onto a rewinder and is slit down into rolls that are 212mm wide then four rolls would be produced.  If your mental maths is up to scratch you might have noticed that 4x212 does not equal 1000, and that means that from the original / master / jumbo roll there will be roughly 117mm left over.    Sometimes this happens because the edges of jumbo rolls are discarded due to damage, print reasons or simply because the material being slit isn't coated all the way to the edges of the roll. So what happens to this waste material? Waste material can be wound onto cores in the same way 'correct' rolls are, ...

We need to talk about how you're handling this...

At the risk of sounding like I'm marketing for them instead of Universal I'd like to mention  Package Print Worldwide ( @PackPrintWorld ) again.  We contributed to the safe materials handling article in the new issue of Package Print Worldwide, with particular focus given to our roll handling trolley .  We have recently expanded the range of material handling attachments for the trolley and have seen the number of enquiries rise considerably.  Sadly safety is a subject that is sometimes (thankfully only rarely) overlooked by some companies, and when it comes to safe roll handling the risk of personal injury is one that is easy to minimise with the correct equipment.  We have priced our materials handling equipment at a level that should be easily affordable to all, so there's no excuse for lax safety!

Core Cutter demo video

By
Core Cutters have been at the forefront of my mind over the last few days, mostly because we have been working with our video team on a new demonstration video for our Automatic Core Cutter . You can view our rather smart new video below, and you can find out more about Automatic Core Cutters (and of course buy one) by contact me directly or by visiting  https://www.universalconvertingequipment.com/core-cutters/automatic-core-cutter P.S I'm taking bookings for Core Cutter demos down here in Ipswich at the moment, so get in touch if you want to come and have a go on one of our demonstration machines!
