Spooling Equipment Jumbo Spooling
When processing relatively wide widths, say 50 mm to 100 mm of high loft materials such as foam and nonwoven
material, the finished spools are wound into large diameter packages. Double R Controls Ltd. have a range of
equipment which has the capability of winding spools up to 1.0 metre wide by 1.2 metre diameter depending on
the specific requirements of the product being processed. Many of the materials are used in the hygiene
industry and in particular for the manufacture of diapers. When processing foam products the material itself
is extremely extensible and special techniques have to be incorporated into the slitting and spooling section
of the machine to accommodate these, this ensures that no distortion to the material takes place during the
slitting and winding process. Some of the materials need to be slit using shear cut or crush cut knives and
all these features are accommodated in the equipment manufactured by Double R Controls Ltd. Unloading
facilities can be incorporated into the machine for ease of removal once the large jumbo spools have been
created.
We have developed a system which will allow pre-slit pancakes of material which have been created on the
nonwoven making machine to be unwound and spooled as required. The pivoting unwind system means the operator
is able to load the machine in readiness for a quick change round once one set of pancakes has been unwound.
Heat joining of the material takes place which ensures the maximum integrity of the joint and this also
provides a high speed change round from one set of pancakes to the other.
