OptiReel Primary, Center and Linear

More saleable production - Optimized parent roll build-up

Getting more saleable production is a combination of number of factors.

Optimized parent roll build-up is a feature that makes center-driven OptiReels exceptional. Instead of controlling only the nip load and tension in the roll, as is done traditionally, center driven OptiReel uses a third parameter, torque, to control reeling tightness. Torque is adjusted via primary and secondary center drives.

Optimal parent roll structure is achieved by accurate measurements and controls for all reeling parameters.

Efficient turn-up sequence, fast web break recovery sequence and optional parent roll surface binding minimize the production losses.

Excellent parent roll build-up minimizes reeling-related losses, improves downstream runnability and makes it possible to wind parent rolls with large diameters. The parent roll size has a significant effect on overall material efficiency and capacity in the finishing area. By maximizing the diameter, it is possible to improve output substantially.

Coated board handled with extra care

Center driven reels have proven to be excellent for preserving coated board surface and sheet properties. Since they eliminate slippage in the nip and between coated board layers during reeling, it is possible to wind large diameter parent rolls without scratches, gloss variations, dust or mottling. Furthermore, the possibility to use low nip load level ensures a bulkier sheet and even smoothness values in the top and bottom sets.

OptiReel with primary center drive is the optimal application for medium-sized production lines. It is suitable for all paper grades and particularly to applications where large parent roll diameter is required to boost the dry end capacity.
