Daco Solutions launches inspection slitter rewinder at Labelexpo Europe 2023 – Stand 4A53

UK converting equipment manufacturer Daco Solutions will launch its SRV350 inspection slitter rewinder at Labelexpo Europe 2023.  The servo-driven machine features an inspection system from Nikka, closed-loop unwind tension control, and a fully automatic slitting unit with servo-driven positioning of the knives. It runs at speeds of up to 300m/min with a 350mm web width and 800mm unwind diameter. An optional accumulator can be added, so any labels replaced on the web will pass back underneath the camera to ensure 100 percent inspection. 

‘This is our highest-specification machine in our slitter rewinder portfolio,’ said Daco’s sales manager Mark Laurence. ‘We have had great success over the years with our more economical models, but we were keen to expand our product range and be able to offer high quality equipment to even the biggest label converters. Adding an inspection system greatly reduces waste and guarantees a high-quality output. A version of the machine with a three-spindle semi-automatic turret, the PLR-V model, is already available and has sold steadily over recent years.’ 

Also on display in Brussels will be Daco’s PLD350 semi-automatic turret rewinder for plain label production and a PLR430 semi-automatic turret rewinder for slitting with integrated 1m unwind with roll lift. Daco Solutions, which has installed equipment in 56 countries around the world, has exhibited at every Labelexpo Europe show since the company’s foundation in 2001.
