Optimal Options

An abundance of splicing technology

Chris Plude, KTI's manager of product application and development, has seen a recent surge of activity for unwind splicers in packaging applications. That surge is adding to the resourcefulness of KTI's LS Series zero-speed web splicer, a company standard since the beginning. Suitable for a wide range of substrates—including tag and label, thin film, paper, light board, foil, and food packaging—the LS Series features digital autosplice and a safe electric dual-chain hoist for direct access to upper and lower roll positions, which eases the operator work load. The LS Series is available with many automated features such as automatic web and core acceleration, automatic web drive for fast press start-up, and an automatic low riding festoon.
