High Tech, Cost Competitive New Unwind and Rewind Sytems for Both Plastic and Paper

March 6, 2000 -- Machinery Control Systems and A Plus Technology are jointly offering the MCAP, a family of new custom engineered unwind stands for processing both paper and plastic webs.  The stands are available in dual or single station configurations and can be designed to match a wide range of roll diameter, weight, line speed, and core size requirements. 

A typical MCAP-101 system features a quick chuck and unchuck for easy load and unload of an unwind shaft.  Typically included with the unwinds are pneumatic brake tension control.  The MCAP-101 is edge guidable and uses a unique bearing arrangement specifically designed for dusty environments that eliminates the need for a linear bearing system. The unwind shaft can be either inflatable air or rectangular shaft with adjustable chucks that slide back and forth.

David Anzano, MCS president, says the systems are especially rugged and easy to install and operate.  Because it is built to order, a system can be easily custom configured, including a wide range of state-of-the-art automation and control options. Shipping times, Anzano says, have typically been less than four weeks from reception of order.

“Custom engineering, high quality fabrication, close technical support, and rapid delivery, are services that distinguish us from other web handling equipment suppliers,” Anzano said.
