Accraply Introduces Compact, Affordable Stanford 438 Slitter Rewinder

 
Accraply (Minneapolis, Minn., USA), a manufacturer of automated labeling and converting systems, recently introduced the versatile and efficient Stanford 438 slitter rewinder. With ultrasonic unwind measurement, adaptive tension control, single or dual shaft winding, an onboard drive processor, and an intuitive 12-in. touchscreen, the 438 is the most technologically advanced slitter in its class.
 
 

A cantilevered duplex differential slitter rewinder, the 438 offers converters an affordable, easy-to-operate, compact solution for their slitting needs. The machine is well suited for a wide range of products, including shrink sleeve, film, film laminates, self-adhesive label stock, paper, and other flexible materials.

"We are very happy with the level of interest in Stanford’s technology," noted Allison Fox, Accraply Converting Product Line manager. "The first 438 was sold during development, and it had a strong debut at the LabelExpo Americas event in September 2016."
