Continuous in- and outfeed
We provide several machines at both the infeed and outfeed of the needle felt production machines that provide a continuous supply and discharge of fabric. For fabric supply, we can offer different types of unwinding units to add one or more fabrics to the process in a controlled manner.
We generally build accumulators at line outfeeds that buffer the fabric during roll change. After longitudinal cutting, the fabric is wound and cut to length semi- or fully automatically. Good web tension control and controlled roll compression on the winding unit are the typical features of Matthys line outfeeds. The wound (or stacked) products can also be weighed, packed and discharged, if necessary.
Advantages
- Complete line concept (content buffers, roll change time on the winding unit) adjusted to the desired line speed and roll length and in function of the space available and other customer requirements
- Thanks to a wide range of options and possibilities, we always offer a solution for diverse, specific and innovative fabric types for the customer
- Highly reliable operation for continuously running production lines
- Good control of fabric tension
- Limited intervention from operators
- Different types of unwinding units, based on the line speed and product type to be processed
- Different types of accumulators, based on the materials to be processed (according to tension and fabric width)
- Customised longitudinal cutting system (pressure cutting, scissor cutting or free-cutting)
- We can propose both semi-automatic and fully automatic packaging systems, depending on the required capacity
- Integration of metal detection and fabric marking systems possible
- Robust construction for a long service life
- Low energy consumption thanks to energy recovery, among other things
- Safe
