Automatic Winder for Nonwoven, Plastic Film and Adhesive Production Lines | VELAThe
Calemard® VELA automatic winder is designed to continuously produce high-quality rolls from nonwoven, plastic film, and adhesive production lines. Thanks to its
in-line tangential winding technology, it performs winding operations, as well as slitting or edge trimming when required,
without reducing line speed, while ensuring continuous web tension control and consistent roll quality.
Reliable and fully automated, the VELA winder is particularly suited for
tension-sensitive materials. Its
ultra-low winding tension,
adjustable roll compaction and
precise tension control help preserve material properties while improving production efficiency and roll quality.
TECHNICAL DATATechnical specifications can be customized to suit your application.
- Maximum web width: 3,400 mm (3,600 mm optional)
- Maximum roll diameter: 1,700 mm (2,500 mm optional)
- Maximum speed: 200 m/min (250 m/min optional)
- Minimum slit width: 70 mm
CONFIGURATIONThe VELA winder can be equipped with a wide range of features to meet the requirements of each production line:
- Motorized tangential winding
- Precise tension control, independent of the upstream process
- Multiple slitting technologies depending on the material: crush cutting, shear cutting, or razor blade slitting
- Roll unloading assistance
- Fully automatic roll unloading and core loading (optional)
- Knife positioning assistance (optional)
- Automatic palletizing and stretch-wrapping station (optional)
- Automatic web threading (optional)
KEY BENEFITS- Continuous winding: slitting and winding operations performed without reducing production line speed.
- Ultra-low winding tension: protects sensitive materials from deformation or damage.
- Continuous tension control: ensures consistent slitting and winding quality throughout the process.
- Adjustable compaction: compaction rate can be adjusted regardless of roll diameter.
- Advanced automation: minimizes manual handling and operator intervention.
- Compact equipment: easy to integrate into existing production lines and simple to operate.
