CTC introduces VTR turret rewinder

CTC International has introduced its Model VTR ‘Value’ turret rewinder for non stop winding of label and tag stock. Based on decades of turret research, the machine is designed to wind rolls up to 10” diameter on core sizes ranging from 1” to 3” I.D. The turret can provide core glue, tail glue and roll eject features using only two drives to operate three winding spindles.

The machine operates directly in line with a press, providing single pass non-stop finished roll label production. The turret can also be used for off-line finishing applications. The simple design allows for fast job changeovers.

Standard features include: automatic core glue, automatic tail glue, doctor blade glue wheels, PLC control, automatic swing back core stop, fast operator learning curve and no mechanical press connections required. 

The turret will be available in varying web widths and with a wide range of options to fit specific customer applications. The machine was introduced to the label industry for the first time at Labelexpo Americas 2008.
