High-speed winder is big on versatility

Ghioldi’s (Marnate, Italy) BGM high-speed winder can handle blown film produced for lamination to heavy and gusseted web for cover-pallets. The BGM offers a new web path with two additional idle rolls, compared to previous models, to make film parting easier during the production of multiple reels and sensitive films. It also includes a support system for the reel to avoid wrinkling of large rolls. The airshaft is pre-accelerated to avoid film breaking during reel changeover cycles. Load cells can be controlled by a single, remote PC that also visualizes reel changeover cycles. The BGM features a new system of side and central knives for easier web cutting due to graduated scale technology.
