Capability · web handling and process lines

Web handling lines, built in one shop.

Roll-to-roll and continuous web lines for films, foils, tapes, labels and coated materials: unwind and splicing, tension control, coating heads, drying ovens, inspection, slitting and rewind, plus the data systems that record every run. Designed, fabricated, wired, programmed and commissioned by one team.

WHAT WE BUILDStation by station

Every station on the line.

New lines, single stations, rebuilds and upgrades. Built to your process and your specifications.

STN-01●

Unwind and splicing

Unwind stands with roll handling and splicing, so a roll change does not stop the line.

STN-02●

Tension control

Dancers, load cells and driven rolls that hold web tension steady at any speed.

STN-03●

Coating heads

Slot-die, roll and spray coating heads with metered feed, built clean and easy to service.

STN-04●

Drying and curing ovens

Multi-zone ovens with air handling and temperature control, zone by zone.

STN-05●

Inspection and data

Cameras, sensors and logging, so defects are caught and every run is traceable.

STN-06●

Slitting and rewind

Slitters and rewinders built to your widths, with tension control and safe operator access.

STN-07●

Centrifugal casting

Vertical or horizontal, heated or unheated, with guarding, lid interlocks and controls.

STN-08●

Two-component dispensing

Meter-mix dispensing of A and B components for encapsulation, sealing and bonding.

AFTER THE LINEDispensing and casting

Dispense, then spin.

Two-component dispensing (A and B) and casting centrifuges, vertical or horizontal, heated or unheated, with guarding, lid interlocks and controlled ramp up and down.

DATARecorded, not remembered

Every run on record.

Line data logged to a record you can pull up later, so the process doesn’t live in one operator’s head.
