KTI  - Facilitating the Evolution of the Turret Rewinder

The more that can be accomplished in-line with your press, the more efficient and profitable you will become. Finished roll rewinding is often taken off-line to a finishing system to be rewound. The new KR Series Turret Rewinder from KTI offers the control of an off-line finishing system with the efficiency of an in-line turret rewinder. Rolls are now taken off the end of the press and ready to use.

A superior level of tension control is achieved through a series of integrated web handling components, including a dancer roller, web guide, and a nipped infeed. However, the meat of the operation is in the servo driven spindles. KTI is facilitating the evolution of the turret rewinder as finishing applications become more and more demanding. The KR is available with an individual servo motor attached directly to each spindle.

The driving force behind the KR was to design a unit that is compact yet comprehensive. Several options are available to further enhance the KR’s overall performance, including automatic core and tail gluing. The KR and its components are organized into one neat package that can be tailored to meet the needs of each individual customer.

KTI has been manufacturing the highest quality automatic splicers and turret rewinders for over twenty years. In that time, they have maximized the production of web fed operations throughout the world by eliminating the downtime associated with changing rolls. Roll changes are a major source of downtime for printers and converters everywhere; their effects can be minimized by utilizing automatic web transfer equipment from KTI.
