Reels

• Wind a continuous web of paper into "Jumbos/logs" that can be processed in subsequent operations.

The reel section is at the dry end of the machine or coater. Sheet properties have been set upstream of the reel, with little or no change taking place at the reel. Critical concerns at the reel are to maintain a high level of efficiency through efficient turn-ops and quality winding to keep losses at the ID and OD to a minimum. Torque, nip and tension are the tools available at the reel for controlling wound roll structure.

Features:

• Primary/Secondary Arm Level Rail Reel
• Standard reel with all the basic components (reel drum, reel spools, primary arms, secondary arms, spool starter, turn-up equipment, brakes).
• Hydraulic/Pneumatic Loading
• Hydraulics used where forces are high (wide machines, heavy reel spools), and fine nip control is required (lightweight paper, tissue grades).
• Pneumatics used where forces are relatively low, and nip control requirements are less stringent.
• Linear/Pivoting Secondary Arm Design
• Pivoting secondary arm design is simple from equipment perspective, produces non-simple relationship between nip and cylinder force.
• Linear secondary arm design produces simple relationship between nip and cylinder force, at the expense of more real estate for the equipment.
• Centerwind Assist
• Provides torque to jumbo with a drive directly coupled to the spool.
• Used for paper grades that require very low nips, such that adequate torque can’t be transmitted through the nip to the winding jumbo.
• Used for paper grades that require very low nips where there is not enough torque transmitted through the nip to driev the jumbo.
