Germany-based Rotocontrol has installed an RSC slitter rewinder in Panprint, a converter located in New Zealand.
Rotocontrol general manager John Lowther said the company and its local New Zealand agent, Converting Technology, were extremely helpful in recommending a customized finishing machine design to meet the unique manufacturing requirements.
"Our company produces quality products, especially in the wine sector. The installation of the Rotocontrol machine has enabled us to process work in a different manner to help meet an ever changing and competitive market," Lowther said.
Rotocontrol's slitter rewinder installed at Panprint is a customized finishing machine built with multiple web paths to manage different materials and processes along with special consideration given to reduce waste material.
The machines features include a vacuum splice table, multiple slitting cartridges, a die-cutting station, separate high capacity unwinds and a Nikka Research vision inspection system along with a semi-automatic turret capable of operating in dual rewind mode as well as turret.
