Two Drum Winder Upgrade


We have just installed a new drive and control system on a Cameron two drum winder. The base machine was over 30 years old but was very solidly built and the customer didn't want to scrap the machine. Installing the new drive and control system has made a huge difference to the performance and the safety of the machine. The machine will run at 1500m/min using closed loop control of tensions and rider roll pressure to ensure rolls of the correct density are produced every time.

A recipe system has improved consistency of product and a record of setting used for every set of rolls is saved within the system. At the same time the safety systems on the machine were upgraded to conform to the latest standards.

We have completed similar upgrades to two drum winders from Cameron, Jagenberg and Masson Scott machines. This is part of a range of drive and control upgrades we have for slitting machines used for slitting and rewinding paper, plastic films and other materials. The upgrades to machines from companies such as Titan, Atlas, Dusenbery, Cameron and several others complement to new slitter rewinders that we produce.
