Danish converter installs Werosys slitter rewinder
Flexiket, a label converter based in Denmark, has installed an automatic slitting system from Werosys. The machine is used to reduce set-up time and increase production on delicate as well as small volume jobs.
It is integrated to Flexiket’s IT structure where each printed roll is equipped with a barcode that is automatically read by the system. From this, job specific data can be extracted to automatically set the knife system and job parameters without any operator involvement.
The system is combined with Werosys’ fully automated turret module to allow automatic roll change. It can handle several different jobs printed on the same roll, and automatically separate them on the converting line, using the full integration of the automatic turret.
Flexiket said it selected the Werosys machine for its 'superior web handling control, leading to its ability to handle very delicate materials at speeds of 250m/min. The system incorporates a fast automatic slitting system that accurately sets eight knifes in less than 20 seconds.'
When running standard materials, the machine can achieve speeds of up to 500m/min.
