Opal Inline Turret Rewinder

Ashe Converting Equipment has 25 years experience
in winding materials in reel form. The Opal Series of
Turret Rewinders are designed in a way that even the
hardest of 'in-line' application finishing is achieveable.
The range enables the simplest of self adhesive label
products, to unsupported materials to be run
successfully at a constant output.
3 Spindle Entry
Level Unit
From the simplest of 'Competitively Priced' applications
to the advanced 'glueless' Patented System, the Opal
Turret Rewinder range has benefits for all narrow
web producers.
The range has 2 typical web widths: 420mm and 520mm (16" and 20").
Each Opal turret rewinder boasts 3 or 4 individually controlled a.c. brushless motors,
individual motor control for each of the rewind positions as standard. This means
that the range of products to be run can be vast on all specified units, from the
basic model to an advanced totally glueless unit.
The Opal turret rewinder series has been designed to accommodate all
available options to customer's specific requirements.
3 Spindle models, classed as 'low cost entry level units' are available
although the special standard design features of the Opal turret series
are still included.
All Opal turret rewinders are PLC based and a helpful tool for operation
is the 'Operator's interface touch screen', enabling machine operation to
alter depending on the type of product to be run. Every machine within
the range can run light tensions or high tensions depending on operator
settings, therefore, Opal turret rewinders can run a much wider range of
products/substrates within the same machine.
