JR Series Turret Rewinder revisited

Keene Technology Inc. has applied new technology to its JR Series Turret Rewinder. KTI now offers an automatic core loader and a finished roll removal system. The construction and design of the JR Series Turret Rewinder has evolved into a total automation system for the rewinding operation.

The company said in a statement: ‘The industry’s trend toward full automation has led to the implementation of an automatic core loader and a finished roll removal system. For those not requiring a fully automated system, KTI also offers a semi automatic core loader.  By reducing the labor requirements of the rewind operation, overall production efficiency is greatly increased. These options also promote a safe working environment by limiting the operator’s proximity to moving parts. Automatic tail taping is now available, as well as our standard tail gluing and core gluing options.’

The JR Series Turret Rewinder utilizes a matched speed splicing technique that allows non-stop production at speeds up to 500 FPM. Industry standard components are used wherever possible for easy maintenance. This unit also includes quick-change pneumatic spindles and a lifetime warranted control board.

The JR Series Turret Rewinder can be configured with 4 or 6 spindles, for web widths up to 16 inches, and for roll diameters up to 16 inches.
