Large Slitter for 135 and 150 Products
The popularity of the JLS 120 large roll slitter rewinder prompted Jennerjahn Machine to design an even more robust machine. Converters have been seeking fully automatic slitter rewinders that can accommodate 135 to 165-inch-wide master rolls to convert construction materials and industrial fabrics in the bedding, building products, drapery, furniture and landscape industries.
This wide format machine maintains the same level of automation as the JLS 120 model, however it features a more robust steel frame, bedrollers and larger motors and drives to accurately control web tension and roll quality throughout the winding cycle for rolls up to 165 inches wide.
From a shaftless unwind stand the web goes through a dancer tension control system providing superior tension control during rapid accels and decels. A bowed roller spreads the web prior to slitting using shear, razor, or score cutting methods.
Cores ranging from 2.00 to 3.50 inches in diameter are automatically fed from a standard table or optional hopper into the core loader, and placed into the winding station. Jennerjahn’s shaftless rewind technology uses easily interchangeable chucks for various core diameters to secure the cores during the winding cycle. Roll starts are achieved with a tuck blade for non-adhesive starts or transfer adhesive applied automatically to the core.
After winding, the tails are automatically cut and secured to the roll by glue or adhesive sealing tabs. The finished rolls from 4 to 18 inches in diameter are then transferred by conveyor to a packing table or down-stream roll processing equipment.
The JLS can be modified and equipped with numerous options, special features and custom specifications.
Applications of the JLS 135 & 150 Slitter Rewinder
The JLS 135” and 150”model rewinders are utilized in high volume applications where automation is necessary. It can be used for a wide variety of roll products: kraft, butcher, house wrap, roofing materials, masking, plotter, engineering, counter, indented bogus, newsprint, laminating, doctor exam, flexible packaging, film and many more.
Operator Responsibilities Per Cycle
The operator only has to load the cores onto the staging table or optional core hopper. The JLS 135 & 150 slitter rewinder machine does the rest.
