Comexi launches S1 MS slitter rewinder

The Comexi S1 MS slitter rewinder has a new mono-shaft system that allows work with large reels of paper, cardboard, self-adhesive tapes, aluminum, BOPP and other laminated materials that have a certain degree of rigidity or won’t easily stretch with tension, such as the materials used for pet food, pouches or pharmaceutical packaging. S1 MS has ‘perfect control’ of the tension, said Comexi, due to a close loop system. Moreover, the direct drive system provides ‘perfect’ transmission between the motor torque and the shaft. The ALWS rewinding system with fixed lay-on roller improves the quality of slitting and rewinding.

These elements, combined with the possibility of producing up to 1.3m-wide output diameter reels and its high level of automation when unloading, make the S1 MS slitter a highly productive and efficient machine, as Comexi slitting brand manager, Albert Torrent, explained: ‘This machine satisfies two of the booming market trends. On one hand, the need to work with more complex material structures and, on the other hand, the need to optimize the production of bagmaking machines or machines that produce pouches thanks to the use of input reels with larger diameters.’
