Automatic outer layer gluing system TailFix leads to more efficient reeling process and improved work safety during parent roll change
- Minimization of flying paper shreds during parent roll changes and thus less waste and fewer paper breaks and malfunctions at the reel, winder and calender
- Short installation time and easy maintenance
- Installation on existing and new paper machines for graphic paper, board and packaging on MasterReel or Sirius reeling systems
With the help of the TailFix, paper ends can be reliably fixed. The picture shows the condition without outer layer gluing on the left and the optimized condition after using the TailFix automatic gluing system on the right.
HEIDENHEIM. For a more efficient and stable paper production, Voith presents the new automatic outer layer gluing system TailFix. In the edge area of the parent roll, the solution reliably fixes the loose paper ends with a special glue and thus prevents the occurrence of flying paper ends. Paper breaks, rejects and malfunctions at the reel, winder and calender can thus be prevented. At the same time, automatic outer layer gluing reduces the amount of cleaning required, thereby increasing work safety in the area of the reel. Within a short time, the compact and space-saving TailFix system can be installed on the MasterReel and Sirius on new and existing paper machines for graphic paper as well as board and packaging.
During designing, Voith paid special attention to an extremely compact and space-saving design as well as good accessibility for service and maintenance. The cold glue used was specially developed for this application and is characterized by an extremely fast and strong adhesive effect. In addition, the glue meets all essential environmental and food safety requirements, enabling it to be repulped without leaving residues.
The application is already being used by several customers globally.
The TailFix system combines perfectly with the EcoChange W turn-up system, which is installed on the Sirius and MasterReel. The EcoChange W enables a turn-up efficiency of over 99 percent and a significant increase in machine performance. Over the entire life cycle, Voith experts offer suitable services at regular intervals.
