ReelChange Wood

The more and more frequent change of the decorative material reel is one way in which the trend towards higher individualization shows in profile wrapping. Working with a common simple unwinding station, this often means an interruption of the finally successfully running production process.
After changing the reel, the whole process has to be restarted from the very beginning, which means producing waste and waste parts once more.
In addition, when producing at a higher pace, frequent reel changes can become a time consuming factor.
In order to minimize downtimes and gain more time for actual production, Duespohl has developed the automatic reel changer. The ends of the subsequently used reels will be taped together during the production process.

To assure a homogenous application of the adhesive, the automatic reel changer is equipped with an automatically adjusting break. The break force is constantly adjusted to the current reel diameter to make sure that the material tensions stays constant. This way, you also avoid cracks in the foil.
