Paper Roll Transport & Loading Systems

Automated paper roll handling, combined with MEGTEC's "no-operator-presence" flying pasters offer significant benefits to web printers to improve their overall productivity and return on investment.

Paper represents 50-70% of total web printing costs. Even a small reduction in paper waste can yield a significant cost saving. Manual paper roll handling can be a major cause of waste resulting from damage to rolls in transit to the paster, excessive slab waste, and the moving and storing of unwrapped rolls on the floor. Poor splice preparation resulting in a web break is another avoidable waste cause. Measurement of roll, wrap, slab and core waste allows paper consumption to be monitored.

MEGTEC pioneered 100% "no-operator-presence" paper roll changing and since its introduction has resulted in dozens of installations running successfully even in extreme operating conditions.
