  • Description: The winder is not normally thought of as the most exciting part of a paper mill. That honor is usually reserved for the paper machine. But perhaps winders should get more notice. Winding speed is often seen as a key requirement for getting more throughput from a winder. However, the latest generation of winders addresses these issues through new, patented features that exploit the full potential of automation. Several years ago, the WinDrum Pro technology introduced the 15-second set change to the market, compared with 60 seconds or more for previous designs. Parent roll changes account for large chunks of lost time on the winder. Winder runnability should be understood as the maximum momentary running speed possible at any given time. The acceleration/decelerration strategy employed and advanced tension control are both critical for highest throughput.
