AB Graphic adds multi purpose film rewinder

East Yorkshire, UK-based AB Graphic International has announced the addition of the FSR film slitter rewinder to its range of Omega label converting lines.

Launched at Labelexpo Europe, the FSR is designed specifically to meet the demands of inspecting, slitting and rewinding extensible and unsupported films for applications such as wrap around, shrink sleeves and tamper evident closures, but can also be used to convert traditional label and packaging materials. 

Tony Bell, sales manager, said: ‘With the increased use of servo driven printing presses many of our customer are now required to convert a wider range of materials so we needed to provide a system that would enable them to process all the substrates they utilize including films.’

The FSR includes a driven unwind, closed loop taper tension control, slow down festoon with a splice table and web clamps and a twin rewind module with twin lay-on rollers and dancer tension control. Models are available with a comprehensive range of options to handle maximum web widths of 330, 410 and 510mm.
