Corewinder
High quality tissue rolls often contain cardboard cores that ease product handling and grant sturdiness to your product. Even though coreless products are possible, tissue rolls with cardboard cores add value and consumer satisfaction. Rolco core-makers ensure that the heart of your end-product is of the highest quality.
Rolco Europe B.V. offers core-makers for both consumer tissue- and industrial or professional tissue converting lines. Core diameters and number of plies per core are flexible and can be designed according to the customer’s specifications. By utilizing multiple unwind stands and the automatic flying splice feature, Rolco core-makers can easily shift from one core-diameter to another. If you are interested in Rolco core-makers, please contact us via the information found below.
Accumulator
The accumulator module is a buffer between your converting modules and your packaging modules. Our accumulators have already been running in many converting lines all over the world for over 30 years. The Rolco design allows for flexibility due to a seamless buffer formation between the rewinder and log-saw. Depending on the customer’s specifications, our accumulators are tailor-made and suit for any converting site (examples are the number of gondolas or specifically designed custom log-saw outfeeds). Due to the simplicity of this first-in-first-out system, it is possible to load up to 5 log-saws with buffered logs. Additionally, a smaller buffer system like an accumulation roll-down table is another alternative if a conventional log accumulator is not an option. Please contact us using the information below if you are interested in Rolco accumulator modules.
Tailsealer
Rolco tailsealers are designed according to your specifications. Our tailsealers are flexible in roll diameter and work at a speed of 35 logs per minute. Tail length detection and belt speeds are often bottlenecks in tailsealers, which is why at Rolco we use exceptional sensors and fine tuned software to enable the best possible precision. Additionally, we make sure the glue dosing is correct so that your end product will be as good as it can be for customer-use.
Rewinder
Rolco Rewinders are remarkably flexible while being capable of handling tissue up to speeds of 750 m/min. Our rewinders are designed with your preference in mind and used for consumer tissue lines and professional lines (jumbo rolls and center pull products). Products with cores and coreless products are both viable options for our rewinders, with a third option being a flexible rewinder that can shift between coreless and core products. Another flexibility is the roll diameter of our consumer tissue rewinder, which can be any diameter between 90 mm and 250 mm with a speed up to 600 m/min. This particular rewinder is ideally suited for the production of bathroom and kitchen tissue. Additionally, our start-stop rewinder for industrial rolls can produce rolls between 125 mm and 400 mm.
In short, we can make sure our rewinders fit any goal. If you have any questions, please contact us using the information below or hit the contact button in the menu.
Edge Embosser | Ply Bonder
The ply-bonding process in your converting line is often one that faces many difficulties. Using the best ply-bonding equipment is important to ensure that your line is up and running. Some examples of the problems that you may face are:
Excessive wear of ply bonding wheels or counter rolls
Insufficient bonding due to wheel jumping
Wrong wheel size and diameter
Undesirable workspeed
Costly wheel engravings
Insufficient accuracy of the ply bonding pattern application
At Rolco Europe B.V. we develop our products with these problems in mind, ensuring the least possible wear and increased efficiency.
Embosser
The embossing unit in your converting line is key to making your end-product unique. Within this module, your personalized pattern can be embossed onto the paper. Additional laminating units add layers to your end product, creating the desired bulk and softness of your product. At Rolco Europe, we develop custom-made and retrofit embossing and laminating modules that will complement your converting line. Rolco Europe is also capable of changing your embossing unit from nested embossing to point-to-point (PTP) embossing. Single or double embossing with or without lamination, all options are viable. Interested in more options? Please contact us directly via the information at the bottom of this page or the contact menu.
Unwindstand
Rolco works together with the mill team; these are the experts that see your operation every day. They know everything about your equipment – everything that works well and everything that does not work so well and how to help improve it.
Converters know that ideally, web spreading should not be necessary in a converting line. However, since the web is usually not uniformly flat and using different suppliers means you have to handle different web properties, widening the web becomes a necessity for an efficient rewinding operation.
You need to remove creasing and wrinkles or widen the web during the converting process and traditionally the bow roller (banana roll) or concave roller was the solution but the time and costs involved with maintenance like bearing replacement can be a concern. Having a line down for impractical maintenance or keeping the large rollers in stock is not preferred.
Since the use of brush rolls has proven to be beneficial for process improvement and cost reduction, Rolco chooses the supply customers with high quality Mink Brush Rolls.
