When cutting lengthwise and rewinding, a few millimetres can make the difference between good product and waste. Creases, air pockets, or electrostatic charges immediately before the cutting gap lead to untidy edges, telescoping, and unstable winding—typical challenges in the converting process.
This is precisely where the Mink spreader roller comes into play: directly in front of the knife or winding station. Its diagonally arranged bristles gently smooth the web from the middle towards the edges, ensuring absolutely flat web guidance right up to the cutting area. Contact via the bristle flanks ensures that even the thinnest films and sensitive composite materials are guided without marking. At the same time, conductive bristles ensure reliable dissipation of electrostatic charges, effectively preventing dust attraction and blocking of the individual rolls.
Compared to rubberised spreader rollers, the Mink spreader roller offers decisive advantages: It operates independently of web speed and wrap angle and remains completely maintenance-free even with frequent format and speed changes.
Your advantages at a glance:
- Perfect web guidance right up to the cutting gap – for tidy cut edges and stable rolls
- Marking-free guidance of sensitive webs
- Effective dissipation of electrostatic charge
- Maintenance-free and low-wear – ideal for dynamic production processes
- Can be used regardless of speed and wrap angle
Optimize the cutting and winding quality of your systems and sustainably increase process reliability in converting.
