Upgraded Kampf Slitter Rewinder

Universal have just completed the upgrade of a Kampf center wind slitting machine in the USA. The machine has been fitted with a new control system, new digital drives, differential rewind shafts and Computacore laser core alignment. The upgrade has made a huge improvement to the productivity of the machine with output increasing by more than 200%.

The machine was originally purchased to process thick material. However, as the needs of the business changed, it was required to process coated PET at less than 1mil thickness. The old control system was unable to control the material adequately. Since installation the quality of the rolls has improved, set up time reduced and machine running speed has increased.

The pay back on this investment will be very fast. The same improvements can be seen on other slitting machines. We offer all the technologies and more on our new slitting machines. We have also upgraded machines from Titan, Atlas, Kampf, Goebel, Ashe, Cameron, Elite Converting, Langston. Whether you have a center winder, centre surface, surface or two drum winder, we have a range of upgrade packages to greatly improve the productivity of your slitting machine.
