Minimum Tail Splicehead

Special applications often require unique solutions. Standard lap splicers typically produce a tail of approximately 3 inches or more. This may not always be acceptable for special applications. Again, KTI offers a unique solution. LE splicers incorporate a minimal tail splicehead that holds the unsupported splice tail to a mere 1/2 inch.... the shortest in the industry.

Automatic Drive Engage/Disengage Simplifies Loading

Special attention has been paid to minimize operator involvement during this process. By pressing the "auto" button on the control panel, the brakes are automatically engaged to the coreshaft and the hold down wheels are automatically brought into position. After a splice is made, the drive automatically disengages, allowing loading of a new roll with no manual intervention.

Direct Loading Eases Operator Work Load

KTI has made loading of rolls as easy, quick and safe as possible. The electric dual-chain hoist allows direct access to both upper and lower roll position. The hoist controls are conveniently located on a vertical member that traverses with the hoist...and won't swing out of reach!

Low Riding Festoon Minimizes Wrinkling and Web Weave

When unwinding paper before the splice diameter is reached, the floating rollers in the festoon run approximately 3 feet above the floor. This minimizes web span related problems such as wrinkling and web weave. It also allows a high speed panic stop rate without subjecting the core to excessive torque which can sometimes cause roll-to-coreshaft slippage. Just before the splice, the festoon slowly rises to the top, allowing full use of available storage. This system is an integral part of the splicer logic. This allows operation of the festoon in a manner best suited to your particular application.
