It's No Piece of Cake

Rewind capacity

Fabian Pesenti, sales manager for Matik North America/Goebel (West Hartford, Conn.) described converters as also "looking for slitter/rewinders with larger rewind capacity. This means larger diameter rolls and larger width rolls."

To meet this need, Matik North America, distributor for Goebel Schneid-und Wickelsysteme, offers the Goebel topslit, an unsupported simplex center drive system that meets a variety of winding requirements. It features a narrow slit and large diameter roll, high speeds, roll edge smoothness, and a splicing table. It has AC maintenance-free drives, as well. The digital control system allows machine setups to be saved and reused as needed for roll consistency. Goebel also offers a variety of slitter/rewinders for paper, cardboard, laminates, plastic films, foils, and related materials in widths from 30 to 415˝.
