Original Press Release:
New Slabber XLA(TM) for Non-Wovens - Automated Core Recycling and Slabbing
(Neenah, WI): Appleton Mfg. Division is pleased to announce the introduction and installation of a new and more advanced version of the Safe-Slab™ Core Recycler, the Slabber XLA™ for Non-Wovens. Designed for a large consumer products company, this new version brings full automation plus process integration to the original Safe-Slab™ concept of safe, efficient slabbing and core recycling.
The Slabber XLA™ for Non-Wovens consists of:
Conveyor for loading and moving rolls onto the slabbing arm
Laser mounted onto slabbing arm to assist with roll positioning
Precision and programmed vertical lifting of roll for each cutting pass
Fully guarded and interlocked cutting area
Programmable cutting device mounted at top of enclosed cutting area
Exit conveyor or elevator for moving waste material to downstream processes
Externally mounted operator control panel
A high level of efficiency is achieved via automation of the slabbing process. Once the operator loads the roll onto the conveyor everything else takes place in a pre-programmed sequence. A conveyor moves the roll onto the slabbing arm and the slabbing arm raises the roll to the cutting device. Then the material is carefully removed from the core via sequential programmed cutting passes. Removed material is deposited onto the conveyor which then transports the recovered non-woven material from the enclosed cutting area with the slabbing arm returning to the loading position so the operator can remove the recycled core. Safety and efficiency are greatly improved by utilizing machine automation with no direct operator interaction with the master roll.
Roll Size Technical Specifications:
O.D. = 18" - 64"
Length = 10" - 62"
Core I.D. = 6.0” - 6.75"
Wt = 1000 lbs
The overall design parameters of the Slabber XLA™ for Non-Wovens can be modified to fit a wide variety of installation needs. Changes can be made to the cutting process to accommodate a variety of materials as well as differing capacities.
