Automatic Surface Winder with Automatic Transfer and Inline Slitting.
Automatic Surface Winders: Uninterrupted Efficiency and Precision
At U.S. Webcon, we understand the importance of seamless winding processes for nonwoven, textile, and paper web products. That is why our automatic surface winders are designed to provide uninterrupted winding so they eliminate the need for operator intervention. With optional inline slitting for added versatility, our equipment is the perfect solution for your production needs.
LDW Model: Large Diameter Automatic Surface Winding
Our linear displacement winder Model LDW automatic surface winder takes surface winding to the next level. Designed for high-loft nonwovens, other nonwovens, and fabrics. So this model allows for the winding of large-diameter rolls while maintaining center support. Take complete control of package density with variable pressure at the winding bedroll nip point, ensuring optimal winding results.
Inline Shear Cut Slitting Module: Versatile Slitting Options
Enhance the capabilities of your automatic surface winder with our inline shear and score cut slitting modules with multi knife shear-cut knives, rack and pinion positioning, and two bowed rolls, this module allows for precise and efficient slitting. The first bowed roll smooths the web, while the second bowed roll separates the individual slit webs for easy handling.
Customizable Options for Your Unique Requirements
We provide tailor-made solutions for our customers. Choose between shear or score cut slitting and you can opt for single or dual bowed roll slit separation for more slits or narrower slits, and enjoy the benefits of driven bowed rolls for low-tension webs. Additional options include pneumatic female knife shafts, integral pull rolls, and turret unwind stands for continuous unwinding.
Experience unmatched efficiency, precision, and versatility with U.S. Webcon’s automatic surface winders. Trust our industry-leading technology and comprehensive product range to streamline your winding processes and elevate your production operations to new heights.

What is a fully automatic surface winder?
A fully automatic surface winder is a machine that winds material onto a core using surface contact, and performs automatic roll ejection, new core loading, and web transfer — all without operator intervention.
How does the winder handle core changeover automatically?
The machine includes:
-
-
A core magazine or core loader
-
An automatic core transfer mechanism
-
A web cut-and-transfer system that attaches the web to the new core This ensures a seamless transition between rolls with minimal downtime.
-
-
How is the finished roll doffed?
Once the roll reaches its target diameter or length:
- The winder initiates a cut
- The finished roll is ejected to a conveyor cart, table or a hydraulic lift and dump table.
- A new core is placed and winding resumes automatically
Can the machine run continuously without stopping between rolls?
Yes. These winders are designed for non-stop operation, which is ideal for high-speed production lines and 24/7 operations. Some models include dual-drum or Four Drum designs.
What are the advantages of full automation?
- Increased throughput and uptime
- Reduced labor and operator fatigue
- Improved safety (fewer manual roll-handling tasks)
- Consistent roll quality
- Better integration with upstream processes (slitting, laminating, etc.)
