UP TO 35 PLIES

UNWINDERS

More than just an unwinder, our creel technology optimises speed and production cost. In addition to an optimized ergonomic design for compact integration, our unwinder allows for easier pre-loading of raw materials, simplifying operator work while ensuring safety and performance. Offering multiple options, it can handle all types of cardboard as well as low-grammage papers, with automatic splicing of raw materials to ensure continuous tube production.

  • Pneumatic accumulators.
  • Reliable and compact automatic splicings.
  • Lifting and rotation of reels using electrical motors.
  • Automatic indexing of the reels.
  • Ply unwinding speed up to 150m/min.
  • Max. paper width: 400 mm (16").
  • Max. reel diameter: 1800 mm (71").
  • Modular and configurable machine with optional features.
GLUING EXPERTISE

GLUEPOTS

A controlled gluing process is key to achieving high-quality tubes. Thanks to the individual adjustment of each paper ply, our gluepot ensures precise control of both ply tension and glue quantity, eliminating the inconsistencies typically associated with conventional gluing systems.

Designed for accuracy and fast setup, it helps reduce changeover times and improve operational efficiency. Available across a wide range, our solutions can be seamlessly integrated into your production line, with configurations tailored to your tube thickness requirements. 

  • Max. paper width: 200 mm (8").
  • Easy to wash.
  • Single-sided gluing to reduce the humidity rate of the tube.
  • Fast setting through motorisation.
  • Modular and configurable machine with optional features.
NO MORE slippage

SPIRAL WINDERS

Production speed depends on spiraling speed, which is why we have developed a range of machines designed to eliminate slippage of the ply under the spiral belts. Designed for high-speed production, our 4-drum spiral winder features a belt transmission system ensuring perfect synchronisations of rotational speeds, as well as stable dynamic performance.

  • Diameter range between 12 mm (0.5”) and 1600 mm (63”).
  • Spiraling speed max. 140 m/min.
  • Transmission through belt.
  • Up to 4 motorised drums.
  • Motorized spiral angle adjustment.
IN-LINE CUTTING SYSTEM

TCM TUBE CUTTERS

Our in-line tube cutters are divided into 2 very distinct ranges. A single knife range mainly destined for cutting large tube lengths and a multiple knife range for cutting small lengths with precision and speed.

All our tube cutters are fully automated and designed to ensure safe machine setup. They are actively driven by servo motors through a robust and dynamic design, allowing us to remain a leader in in-line paper tube cutting technology today.

  • Wide range of thicknesses and diameters.
  • Max. precision ±0.2 mm (0,008”).
  • Min. length of knives in automatic position 48 mm (1.9”).
  • Max. in-line cutting higher than 1m/s.
  • Tube cutter output system adapted to your production.
  • Modular and configurable machine with optional features.
RE-CUTTING SYSTEM

RE-CUTTER

Destined for ring production, our re-cutter combines precision and a high re-cutting pace. Its tangential servo motor cutting system enables control of cutting penetration, thereby helping to protect tools and ensuring safe machine setup for the operator. 

  • Wide range of thicknesses and diameters.
  • Modular and configurable machine with optional features.
  • Can be used in line or off line.
  • Max. precision ±0.05 mm (0.0019”).
