Extrusion Asia Edition 1-2019

China is the most important market for manufac- turing and processing plastics and rubber – Germany is the major supplier of machines for Chinese manufacturers and converters. This close relationship exists for many years and there is no end in sight even though the economic growth of the Chinese rubber and plastics industry has recent- ly slowed down. Still, the People’s Republic is one of the main global players in the market: The end- user market is growing and demands for high-qua- lity products are rising. GOEBEL IMS answers this trend by offering a top-performing portfolio of slit- ter rewinders, that covers the complete web width from 1,800 to 12,000 mm. As one of the global leaders in innovative slitting and winding solutions, GOEBEL IMS will highlight its comprehensive portfolio of high-performing slitter rewinders at Chinaplas 2019: From May 21st to 24th, the long-established manufacturer welco- mes visitors at booth A47 in hall 5.1 and informs about its latest slitting and winding solutions: MONOSLIT series, INTERSLIT, XTRASLIT 2 and IN- TERSLIT BSF. The machines cover the complete range of web widths from 1,800 to 12,000 mm and set standards in film processing and converting. All slitter rewinders combine high performance and top quality with cutting-edge technology. T he MONOSLIT series, comprising the MONOSLIT with a working width of up to 9,000 mm and the MONOSLIT GIANT with a 12,000 mm working width, are designed for con- verting a broad spectrum of films, such as BOPP, BOPET, OPP, CPP, BOPA, BOPS and other special films. Materials with thick- nesses between 0.5 and 500 µm can be converted at a speed of up to 1,500 m/min, featuring an extremely smooth run at maximum speed while guaranteeing outstanding quality of the end product. The new machine design allows for an unwinding 63 Extrusion Asia Edition 1/2019 diameter of up to 1,800 mm and a rewinding diameter of up to 1,550 mm, with winding stations carrying a maximum finished roll weight of up to 5,000 kg. The INTERSLIT , that has already proven very successful, especially on the Asian market, is designed for the highly productive processing in the range of intermedia- te widths of up to 7,000 mm. It is, on the one hand, based on the MONOSLIT and, on the other hand, on the especially compactly designed XTRASLIT 2, that covers working widths of up to 3,600 mm. The INTERSLIT is suitable for foil thicknesses of 0.5 to 500 µm and pro- cesses packaging films, capacitor films, thermal transfer films, metallized films and thick films for industrial or optical applications. The machine’s winding stations can accommodate a remarkably high roll weight of up to 5,000 kg with an unwind diameter of up to 1,550 mm and a rewind diameter of up to 1,300 mm. Top speeds of 1,200 m/min are guaranteed thanks to the ultra-light dancer roller ensuring constant web tension even at high speeds. The INTERSLIT allows for the production of narrow rolls, starting from a minimum slitting width of 180 mm. Though sounding similar, the INTERSLIT BSF is truly different: This primary slitter rewinder is specifically designed to process hypersensitive materials such as battery separator film also based on wet-processed BOPE. To achieve maximum efficiency, the INTERSLIT BSF is tailor-made for every customer. It can convert web widths of up to 6,000 mm while unwind and re- wind diameter as well as speed are adjusted according to cus- tomers’ needs. To ensure the best results, the innovative slitter rewinder offers multiple state-of-the-art features. The especial- ly compact station rewinder concept with a short web path from unwind to rewind keeps the web on track and allows lowest web tension ranges. Thanks to the ergonomic design, the machine is functionally accessible all around and thereby ensures highest productivity during unloading and set-up. The top solution for most precise and dust reduced cutting are indi- vidual driven shear top knives which are embedded in a carbon fiber body bottom cutter shaft that also can be driven indepen- dently. Alternatively, classical razor blade holders can be used. Additionally, knife de-dusting systems and double-sided web- cleaning devices downstream the unwinding unit are available. All GOEBEL IMS slitter rewinders comprise a digital AC drive technology that allows for highly efficient energy recovery and, thus, helps reducing operational costs and improves energy savings. Further, the machines come as an economic, basic model and with special upgrade options including a range of technical features.
