Martin Automatic features undwind technology at Labelexpo

Martin Automatic is showcasing two of its MBS automatic unwind splicers at Labelexpo Europe 2025, anchoring the start of a fully automated production line that stretches across four collaborating booths.

After a successful debut at Labelexpo Americas 2024, the line is now being seen in Europe for the first time in Barcelona.  

Located at booth 4D37, Martin Automatic highlights two configurations of its MBS butt splicer, both feeding webs non-stop into an ETI Cohesio laminator. The first unwinder features the standard MBS layout, while the second features a 90-degree turn bar that shortens the in-line footprint, an innovation especially valuable for space-constrained pressrooms. Both MBSs can handle rolls up to 26in (660mm) in diameter and can run at speeds up to 250 m/min (820 ft/min) for the standard configuration and 152 m/min (500 ft/min) with the turn bar configuration.
