Rollen-Walzmaschine WSL

rolle-zu-Rollerolle-zu-RolleIndustrie

Product overview
The Crest WSL is a high-precision industrial slitter rewinder and optional inline laminator engineered for tension-sensitive conversion of flexible films, specialty foams and laminates. It integrates pneumatic circular slitting, loop-controlled centre winding and an inline lamination station (optional) to enable single-pass and dual-pass workflows while preventing material deformation, telescoping and adhesive bleeding.

Key capabilities
The machine supports pneumatic circular knives for ultra-clean edges; a highly responsive loop-controlled centre winding system for deformation-free winding; an integrated Corona surface activation unit to improve adhesive anchoring; precise nip roll and height adjustments; and a dual-roller lamination nip to eliminate micro-air inclusions in composite laminates.

Main features

• Pneumatic circular knives for accurate, burr-free slitting with rapid, operator-friendly knife changeovers
• Loop-controlled centre winding delivering stable tension across full roll diameter
• Optional inline lamination unit enabling combined lamination, slitting and rewinding workflows
• Integrated Corona treatment unit for surface activation prior to lamination (used in Pass 1)
• Dual-roller nip system to ensure bubble-free lamination and homogeneous roll quality
• Flexible shaft handling with fast interchangeable setups for 3" and 6" cores
• Heavy-duty platform designed for high-volume production and jumbo master rolls

Applications & benefits

• Deformation-free master roll converting for compressible and high-tack adhesive laminates
• Accurate and clean edge quality for industrial converters needing ultra-clean slitting
• Efficient dual-pass lamination and converting workflows on a single platform (foam activation + adhesive coating, followed by backing application and final slitting)
• Maximized yield and minimized scrap through precise web control and pneumatic slitting

Suitable materials

• Technical foam laminates (e.g., ProBAK®, Softprint®, Cushion-Mount™)
• Flexographic backing & compressible foams
• Polyester (PET) & PVC plastic backing films
• High-tack self-adhesive laminates
• Protective films & release liners

Operational notes (process flow)

• PASS 1: Foam Activation & Adhesive Coating — Corona treatment activates foam surface, then high-tack adhesive is laminated under precise nip pressure.
• PASS 2: Plastic Backing Application — The adhesive-laminated foam from Pass 1 is rewound into the line; plastic backing is applied (Corona off) and the laminate is slit to customer widths.

Frequently asked product details
