Pope reel and automatic reel transfer

PAPER MACHINE

Pope Reels

The pope reels of the AR series have been designed to guarantee the maximum wrapping performance for every type of paper and to meet all the client’s requirements. The machine, customized according to the customer’s grade of paper, is equipped with weighning station and pneumatic or hydraulic parent roll brake system. Spools storage, with gravity or hydraulic movement and automatic primary arms loading can also be supplied.

Maximum working speed: 1200 m/min
Loading of spool roll: automatically from rack
Structure: electrowelded steel tubes
Operation: pneumatic and/or hydraulic
Control: by means of PLC and specific software
Reel halt: with toggle brakes and decelerators
Reel unloaded: by means of a bridge crane or continuous conveying to the rewinding department or automatic with AGV shuttle

Light and special paper
For the correct winding of light papers (less than 50 gsm) the reels of the AR series are equipped with axial electric winders, to guarantee uniform tension during the wrapping and avoid paper slippage and wrinkling problems.
Grooved surface of the reel drum allows to wind without defects even coated and siliconized papers too.

Automatic reel transfer

The need to improve logistics and reduce the personnel assigned to reel handling has led to the development of automated reel handling systems from the pope reel to the rewinding area.
DJM’s automatic reel transfer systems increase production line efficiency and improve safety by:
• Handling the reel with maximum safety;
• Reducing reel loading times and empty shaft recovery;
• Reducing waste;
• Reducing or eliminating the use of overhead cranes.

The systems can be integrated inline with the rewinder, allowing a continuous flow of the reel with various parking stations, or they can be used in environments where machines are far apart, utilizing automated guided vehicles (AGVs) for autonomous guidance.
