SR-03 Crush Cut Rewinder — Slitter-rewinder with crush cut for nonwovens and technical textiles (1/1)1 / 1

The SOMATEC SR-03 is a slitter rewinder with crush cutting method. A round blade presses against a soft counter roller and separates the material by crushing. Specifically for nonwovens, felts and soft materials that cannot be cleanly separated with scissors or blade cutting.

Applications

SOMATEC slitter rewinders for precision finishing of material webs into all common converting formats.

Adhesive tape finishing — Precision slitting of tape substrates and release liners
Label production — Format cutting for self-adhesive labels and label materials
Film formatting — Slitting of packaging, shrink and technical films
Nonwoven cutting — Formatting of nonwoven webs for hygiene and medical products
Paper and board cutting — Format cuts for coating and printing products

Why the SR-03?

Crush cut is the gentlest cutting method for soft materials, preventing material deformation at the cut edge. Flexible winding concepts enable multiple-up winding on a shared shaft or on friction winding shafts. The fully automatic web threading system improves ergonomics and process reliability.

Typical Configurations

Nonwoven line: SR-03 with crush cut and friction winding shafts for gentle multiple-up winding
Technical textiles: SR-03 with automatic web threading device and web edge guiding
Nonwoven converting: SR-03 with roll removal cart for efficient finished roll handling
