Martin Automatic will showcase 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 will be seen in Europe for the first time this September in Barcelona.  

Located at booth 4D37, Martin Automatic will highlight 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 MBS’s can handle rolls up to 26in (660mm) in diameter and can run at speeds up to 250 m/min (820 f/m) for the standard configuration and 152 m/min (500 f/m) with the turn bar configuration.
