Atlas Converting Equipment Ltd. is pleased to
confirm that it received an order for a Titan ER610 compact slitter rewinder
from Heukäufer Folien GmbH during the drupa 2012 exhibition held in Düsseldorf,
Germany from 3rd to 16th May. The
company is located in Herten, north-west Germany and will install the new
slitter in a new, purpose-built production hall during August this year.
Heukäufer Folien GmbH has been established
for more than 90 years and has become one of Germany’s leading suppliers of
specialized printed and composite films and flexible packaging materials,
mainly used in the food processing sector.
‘We decided some time ago that we needed to
improve our productivity and replace an existing slitter rewinder’, explained
Mr. Kurt Barth, Managing Director of the company. ‘The Titan ER610 model is
very compact and is a perfect solution for our production requirements. We took some time to research the market and
consider several suppliers but we were very impressed by the high performance
of the Titan machine during a demonstration some months ago. We are looking forward very much to
increasing our slitting capacity within the next few months,’ he confirmed.
The new Titan ER610 slitter at Heukäufer
Folien will be for materials up to 1350mm wide with a maximum speed of 450
m/min. Rewind diameters can be up to
610mm with a minimum slit width of 35mm.
The slitter will also be equipped with laser safety scanners, a static
control system and edge trim extraction system.
The Titan ER610 has been a great success for
Atlas Converting Equipment Ltd. with sales of more than 100 machines
worldwide. It is available in two web
widths – 1350 & 1650mm and features a 10” touch screen control system. A pneumatically controlled braking system
provides accurate web tension control and a digital edge-guide system controls
lateral movement of the unwind reel to +/- 50 mm.
Slitting systems available include shear
knives, rotary razor (burst) or razor slitting in air or groove. Optional features include laser (line) core
positioning and also a shaftless unwind roll pick-up from the floor.
The Titan ER610 slitter can process a wide
range of flexible materials including plain, printed, coated or metallized film
from 20 to 200 micron, a wide range of laminates and paper from 30 to 200
gsm. It is a more environmentally
friendly solution with reduced power consumption, no hydraulics for oil-free,
hygienic operation, un-lubricated compressed air for zero oil/air emissions and
less steel through its compact design. Its ‘one-piece’ construction also
enables rapid installation and commissioning.
