ZSTW Zero Speed Automatic Transfer Turret Roll Winder
ZSTW Zero Speed Automatic Transfer Turret Roll Winder: 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 Zero Speed fully automatic Turret Roll Winders are designed to provide uninterrupted continuous winding of web product. These machines were designed to cross cut and transfer heavier plastic films at Zero Speed while creating a no fold back transfer. The accumulator accumulates the web while the cut over preformed. The following options are available.
- Automatic transfer tapeless versions are available.
- Single knife crosscut creates and along with the transfer head performs a no fold back transfer.
- Web Festoon Accumulator accumulates the web while at zero speed.
- Optional rider rolls help to make a firm roll.
ZSTW Zero Speed Automatic Cantilevered Tapeless Transfer Turret Roll Winder
Revolutionize your winding process with our tapeless transfer automatic zero speed turret winders. This state-of-the-art machine uses a tapeless transfer enveloper for automatic continuous center winding of small or large rolls.
- Tapeless Transfer using a belted enveloper transfer head to wrap the core.
- Cross cut using a razor blade cuts against the cut and along with the transfer head performs a no fold back transfer.
- Optional rider rolls help to make a firm roll.
- Accumulator to bring the roll to a stop for a zero speed transfer.
At U.S. Webcon, we understand the application of your Web Handling Processes. We can modify the above design to meet your specific needs and requirements. Call us to discuss your application with one of our engineers at (570) 644-1401.
What is a zero-speed turret winder?
A zero-speed turret winder is mainly used where serrated cutting of the web material cannot be used or is impractical. Along with the use of a Festoon Web Accumulator this type of winding equipment enables continuous winding by using a turret mechanism and cross cut transfer to switch between rolls automatically without stopping the production line. It allows the machine to continue operating while a new roll is being started, ensuring there is no downtime in the process.
How does a zero-speed turret winder work?
- The zero-speed turret winder operates by automatically splicing a new roll of material onto the winder’s new core while a Festoon Web Accumulator pays out web material to the machine so that line is still running. An automatic transfer head at zero speed cross cuts the sheet against the core and then wraps the current shaft and core leaving a no fold back transfer. The new roll is started without interrupting the winding process, and the process line continues running at full speed.
What are the benefits of a zero-speed turret winder?
-
Continuous Production: The primary benefit is the ability to maintain constant production without downtime for roll changes.
-
No Fold Back Transfer: Transfer method leaves a flat against the core no fold back transfer for thick plastic webs or other webs that require complete product usage to the core.
-
Operator Safety: Zero-speed turret winders minimize the need for operators to touch the moving web or perform manual on the fly tuck and roll starts.
-
Enhanced Quality Control: Since the process remains uninterrupted, the quality of the wound rolls remains consistent.
-
What is the difference between a regular turret winder and a zero-speed turret winder??
Standard Turret Winder cuts and transfers on the fly while one of the winding position is still winding requiring the use of a serrated knife that can perform the web cut-off on a moving sheet. the machine to stop or slow down to complete the roll change process, while a ZSTW Zero-Speed Turret Winder is designed to automatically transfer web materials that are either too thick or impractical to pass a serrated knife through the sheet. This machine uses a Festoon web Accumulator to bring the sheet to a zero speed while a transfer head cross cuts and transfer the sheet to a new core.
