Reel & Roll Handling
Pleats, presses and cuts from a roll A
ZCO Corp. has designed and manufactured a custom cut to length system with a material flow
package, pleating station, and heat set station. The application required unwinding gauze from a roll, folding it into pleats, pressing it, and then cutting it to length. A motorised unwind feeds the material
to drive rollers which advance the material into the pleating station. Stainless steel funnel guides take the gauze and fold it into pleats. Exit guides lead the material into the heat set station where heated idle rollers press the pleats into place. A laminar air flow of ionised air floats the product through the knife assembly, preventing static charge. The pleated, pressed material is then cut to length. An
plate and clear anodised frame align the stations and support the unit. The system requires 110/230 VAC and compressed air. AZCO Corp. designs and manufactures modules and units used to feed, cut and place products. Their concept is based on a building block model. Standard modules and units can be purchased alone or in combination to build a solution that meets your unique needs. Standard units are in stock and can be customised to fit specific requirements. AZCO Corp. is an ISO 9001:2015
certified company with over 35 years of experience developing solutions for a wide range of feeding and cutting applications. Made in the US.
