ALPHATRIM TWM trim winders incorporate many features for high reliability of trim winding. The precision electromechanical traversing system is maintenance free with operator control of the traversing rate which remains constant regardless of the line speed or the spool diameter. This, together with the inbuilt pineapple winding technology, ensures optimum winding of the trim and therefore increases the reliability. The lightweight web guide roll assembly traverses for high speed operation with the spool running in a fixed position.
Each trim winder is driven by its own variable speed motor running under closed loop tension control from a precision pneumatic dancer.
Alternatively, where space is at a premium, the winder motor can be operated under direct torque control. Full sized rolls can be unloaded quickly and the winder restarted. ALPHATRIM winders are fitted with a remote air inflation system on winding shafts for paper cores or a quick release mechanism on coreless shafts.
