Packline Splicemaster increases productivity

20 July 2011

The Roll Slicing Machine for rolls of packaging material offers fully automated splicing and continuous production for thermoformers and blister packers.

The Splicemaster, from Packline Materials Handling, joins the beginning of a new reel of material to the end of the old in seconds, thereby facilitating near continuous production and leaving operators free to keep production moving. The Splicemaster is easy to retrofit to most machines designed for forming material as well as being easy to use providing continuous production.

After loading a new reel onto the spare mandrel (while the other is running) simply thread it into the standby position where it is held by a pneumatic clamp activated by the yellow button.

Remove the masking strip from the adhesive tape and press the green button. The Splicemaster takes care of the rest.


Benefits of the Splicemaster:

•    Increases productivity by as much as 10% or more
•    Payback in under a year
•    Fully automatic - no run outs or waiting for operators
•    Bypass feature - no loss of production in event of Splicemaster breakdown
•    Narrow splice - protects tools and minimizes jam ups
•    Safer than conventional hand splicing
•    Also splices waste edges

Splicing Machine Technical Specifications:

•     Standard air supplies 6 bar / 80psi
•    240v mains, 12/24v internal system
•    Standard film range 600mm wide max, 150-600 microns thick, plain or random print

The Compac range of lifting equipment, coupled with its comprehensive range of interchangeable attachments, provides handling solutions for most applications found in today's production environments.
