Contiweb offers comprehensive reel logistics systems that can be customized to complement its state-of-the-art non-stop flying pasters. Stand-alone storage solutions and reel buffering systems are defined by advanced capabilities and ultimate reliability. The objective is to minimize the required operator attendance whilst ensuring operational reliability, thus reducing costs. In a system with four buffer positions, up to seven reels (one at each buffer position, one in the waiting position and two in the paster) can be prepared at the same time, and no further operator involvement is required until all seven reels are being used, as the empty reels are automatically collected in the core container. You can see an example of this set up below.
Contiweb extensive experience in designing systems for commercial web applications and for newspaper applications requiring an interface with multiple pasters. The additional Contiweb advantages are full automation and complete hardware and software integration with Contiweb non-stop flying pasters and press systems. No third party involvement is required for the installation and electronic integration of the reel logistics system with the reel stands.
