The cantilevered unwind and rewind shafts provide quick roll change whilst the servo control systems ensure precise spooling. All Alpha spoolers are of heavy duty construction for long life.

Pancake rolls may be produced on a slitter rewinder such as an ALPHALAB TWIN slitter or on a single knife log slitter.

Examples shwon:

  • Bench top model for pancake to spool conversion of open faced adhesive foam.
  • Narrow width light weight tapes are spooled with first class control over the rewinding and oscillating parameters which ensures excellent roll density and profile control.
  • Heavy duty spooler for finerlift product winding direct from pancake rolls to provide for long production runs from level or traverse wound rolls.
