Spool Aquila, Aquila SD, Astrée Aquila, Gemini

Automatic spool winding machine for specialty and technical products

Spooling machines are designed for high-efficiency rewinding of specialty and technical materials. Using advanced spool winding technology, these machines allow manufacturers to rewind 20 to 50 times more material compared to traditional pancake winding, while ensuring superior winding quality and process reliability.
They are perfectly suited for processing sensitive, complex, or multilayer materials such as composites, laminates, foams, adhesives, holograms, PTFE, Mica, Kapton, PET, PET/Alu, and many other specialty materials.

Key benefits

• High-productivity winding process
• Reliable and more efficient downstream operations
• Capital expenditure (Capex) reduction
• Optimized storage, handling, and logistics
• Consistent spool quality, even for sensitive materials
