High-Speed 6-Spindle Turret Rewinder for Foil, Film & Paper Rolls
Maximize Throughput & Roll Consistency for Household & Foodservice Converting
As global demand for household kitchen rolls, foodservice packaging and salon foil continues to rise, roll converters face mounting pressure to scale output while maintaining tight quality standards. Traditional semi-automatic rewinding lines often come with persistent bottlenecks: low cycle efficiency, inaccurate length control, frequent wrinkling, high labor reliance and inconsistent roll quality across batches.
The HAFA950 fully automatic rewinding machine is a high-performance, purpose-built solution for converting large mother rolls into finished consumer rolls. Designed for aluminum foil, plastic film, silicone paper and greaseproof paper, it automates the entire workflow from unwinding, core feeding, material threading and precision rewinding to fixed-length cutting and finished roll discharge. This machine helps converters dramatically increase throughput, improve product consistency, reduce labor costs and achieve reliable long-term mass production.
Fully Automated Production Workflow
The HAFA950 completes all core rewinding processes automatically, requiring minimal manual intervention:
- Steady mother roll unwinding with continuous closed-loop tension control
- Automatic cardboard core feeding from the vibrating hopper
- Glue-free mechanical material introduction onto the paper core
- Precision rewinding to the pre-set target length
- Clean, burr-free cross-cutting once the set length is reached
- Automatic finished roll discharge via the integrated conveyor belt
Optional upgrade: Automatic circumferential self-adhesive labeling station for roll tail sealing.
Core Systems & Key Features
1. Precision Unwinding & Constant Tension Control
Stable, uniform tension is the foundation of wrinkle-free, neatly wound rolls.
- Supports mother rolls up to 1100mm outer diameter, reducing roll-change frequency and production downtime
- Equipped with an electromagnetic powder brake for continuous, accurate tension control from full roll to empty roll, eliminating wrinkling and uneven winding tightness
- Pneumatic expansion shaft with axial adjustment function for fast, accurate mother roll alignment
- Mechanical tangential speed adjustment ensures smooth speed transitions as roll diameter decreases
2. 6-Spindle Turret System for Non-Stop Production
The rotary 6-spindle turret design enables uninterrupted cyclic production, delivering far higher efficiency than conventional single-station rewinders.
- 6 adjustable spindles compatible with different core diameters and lengths, supporting fast product changeover
- Vibrating core hopper ensures smooth, continuous core supply without jams
- Glue-free mechanical introduction system secures the material head to the core without adhesives — clean, cost-effective and residue-free
- Electro-pneumatic toothed cutting unit delivers clean, burr-free cuts at precise lengths
- Finished rolls are automatically discharged onto the conveyor for direct downstream packaging
- Up to 40 cycles per minute at a maximum rewinding speed of 550m/min, delivering outstanding production throughput
3. Intuitive Touchscreen Control with Multi-Language Support
The user-friendly HMI makes parameter setup, production monitoring and fault diagnosis simple and efficient.
- Multi-language interface (Chinese, English, Russian) to suit global operators
- Intuitive parameter configuration: rewinding length, running speed, tension values, gluing and labeling settings
- Real-time production data: current length, output count, actual roll diameter, tension status and alarm information
- Built-in terminal monitoring for quick signal checking and troubleshooting
- Automatic fault alerts for material breakage, end of mother roll, core shortage and other anomalies, minimizing unplanned downtime
4. Optional Automatic Labeling Station
For manufacturers requiring finished roll tail sealing, the integrated labeling station provides a seamless end-to-end solution.
- Circumferential self-adhesive labeling for neat, professional roll tail closure
- Adjustable labeling position, speed and delay time for precise label placement
- Supports both short-label and standard-label modes to match different packaging specifications
- Manual jog function for easy debugging and setup
5. Premium Global Components for Long-Term Reliability
Core electrical and pneumatic components are sourced from globally recognized brands, ensuring stable long-term operation and low maintenance costs.
- Mitsubishi PLC and frequency inverter for precise, reliable control
- German SICK length measuring system for highly accurate length control
- AirTAC pneumatic components for durable, responsive actuation
- Schneider contactors and Omron relays for stable electrical performance
- Heavy-duty rigid frame structure for vibration-free operation even at high running speeds
- Full safety guards compliant with CE Machinery Directive standards
