Products
Slitter Rewinders
Duplex HR Slitter Rewinders
The web is arranged for overhead delivery to keep the clean web away from potentially dirty floors while allowing easy access for visual inspection.
Individual Arm Slitter Rewinders
The shaftless winding technology provides high speed unloading of the rolls either manually or, for larger rolls, directly onto roll carts. All models can be supplied with automatic knife positioning and powered or automatic arm positioning to improve productivity. The touch screen operator interface has simple recipe systems for multiple material types and slitting parameters.
Centre Surface Slitter Rewinders
Centre Slitter Rewinders
The ALPHALAB can be supplied with twin differential rewinding shafts for sensitive films and foams or with single winding shaft suited to labelstock, papers and rotary die cutting applications. The touch screen operator interface has simple recipe systems for multiple material types and slitting parameters.
Shaftless Unwind Rewinders
The shaftless chucks are selected to suit the customer cores and may be air inflated, torque activated or mechanically expanding through end pressure. The shaftless winders are of heavy duty construction for long life.
Cantilevered Shafted Unwind Rewinders
Shafted Unwind Rewinders
The cantilevered air inflated shafts remain in the machine for easy loading and unloading of small rolls. ALPHAREEL winders are of heavy duty construction for long life.
Custom Built Unwind Rewinders
ALPHAREEL winders are of heavy duty construction for long life.
Salvage Rewinders and Inspection
Standard salvage (doctor) machines allow you to recover badly wound rolls or to remove faults identified in the roll. Inspection machines are supplied with bidirectional winding, whilst combining machines are optimised for loading of the small in-feed rolls for quick consolidation into one large roll.
Stand Alone Pancake Spoolers
Non-Stop Spooling Machines
For high speed lines twin spoolers with automatic cut off can be supplied so that the tape only needs to be transferred from the finished spool to the new core before restarting.
Slit Spooling Machines
The cantilevered unwind and rewind shafts provide quick roll change whilst the servo control systems ensure precise spooling. All Alpha spooling machines are of heavy duty construction for long life.
Pancake rolls may be produced on a slitter rewinder such as an ALPHALAB TWIN slitter or on a single knife log slitter.
TWM Trim Winders
Pneumatic Trim Winders
Each trim winder is driven by its own variable speed motor running under closed loop tension control from a precision pneumatic dancer.
Automatic Slitter Rewinders
Automatic Turret Slitter Rewinders
Standard tapeless (cinching) start at the beginning of wind helps to prevent adhesive contamination in subsequent processes. Automated delivery out to a banding and printing head and automated unload of the finished roll is all achieved without any input from the operator.
Cut to Length Machines
The cutting method is selected to provide the optimum cut quality, reliability or product handling. Cut to length machines can sheet wide films with subsequent placing for laminating to the primary product or cut profiled product direct from an extruder with automatic batching into bags or boxes running on conveyorised system.
Web Handling Print Platforms
Alpha's expertise in web handling can be mixed with Alpha's expertise in sheet and product handling to print onto almost any product type. Together we are stronger.
