Kraft paper roll slitting and rewinding machine with adjustable width

Kraft Jumbo Roll Rewinding and Slitting Machine – Selection Guide

This Kraft jumbo roll rewinding and slitting machine converts large parent rolls into finished rolls with precise width control and consistent tension. Available in two working widths, the XY-AI-1092 and XY-AI-1575 models suit converters producing Kraft paper rolls, laminated paper, and industrial tissue for packaging, wrapping, and converting applications.

Two Working Widths for Production Flexibility

Choose the XY-AI-1092 for a compact footprint or the wider XY-AI-1575 when your parent roll width demands greater capacity. Both models accept jumbo rolls up to 1200 mm in diameter, with the 1092 handling 1100 mm widths and the 1575 accepting 1700 mm widths.

Adjustable Slitting for Custom Roll Widths

Slitting width is fully adjustable on both models, allowing you to produce multiple finished roll widths from a single parent roll. This flexibility reduces inventory requirements and lets you respond quickly to changing order specifications.

Air-Shaft Rewinding with Frequency Control

The air-shaft rewinding unit provides secure core mounting and consistent roll density, while the frequency conversion speed regulator gives you precise control over rewinding tension and production speed for uniform finished rolls.

How This Machine Supports Your Converting Line

Parent Roll Loading

Feed jumbo rolls up to 1200 mm in diameter with paper weights from 50 to 600 g/m². The machine accepts a wide range of Kraft and industrial paper grades, giving you sourcing flexibility across multiple suppliers.

Precise Slitting

Adjustable slitting blades cut the full-width web into your required finished roll widths. The adjustable configuration means you are not locked into fixed slitting positions, so you can change roll widths as order requirements change.

Controlled Rewinding

The air-shaft rewinding unit maintains consistent tension across the rewound rolls. Frequency conversion speed regulation lets you set the rewinding speed within the 0–100 m/min range to match the paper grade and roll hardness requirements.

Finished Roll Take-Off

Completed rolls are removed from the air shaft for downstream packing or further converting. Cutting speed is independently controlled up to 80 m/min for efficient roll separation.

Configuration Notes for Your Factory

Before ordering, confirm your parent roll width and diameter, required finished roll widths, and available floor space. The XY-AI-1092 requires approximately 4300 × 2200 mm of floor area, while the XY-AI-1575 needs 4300 × 2800 mm. Both models require three-phase power; verify local voltage and frequency with our sales team for your region.

Frequently Asked Questions

What paper grades can this machine process?

The machine handles jumbo roll paper weights from 50 to 600 g/m², covering lightweight Kraft tissue through heavier industrial paper grades. This range suits packaging paper, wrapping paper, and laminated paper converting applications.

Can I produce multiple roll widths in one run?

Yes. Slitting width is adjustable, so you can set multiple slitting positions across the web to produce several finished roll widths simultaneously from a single parent roll, subject to the minimum slitting width capability of the machine configuration.

What is the difference between rewinding speed and cutting speed?

Rewinding speed (0–100 m/min) controls how fast the web is wound onto finished rolls. Cutting speed (0–80 m/min) governs the roll separation operation. Both are independently adjustable through the frequency conversion drive system.

How do I choose between the XY-AI-1092 and XY-AI-1575?

Select the XY-AI-1092 if your parent rolls are 1100 mm wide or less and floor space is limited. Choose the XY-AI-1575 when you run 1700 mm parent rolls or want to maximize output per pass. Our sales team can help confirm the right match for your parent roll supply and finished product range.

Machine Construction and Operating Principles

The Kraft jumbo roll rewinding and slitting machine is built around a rigid frame that supports the unwinding, slitting, and rewinding stations. The parent roll is mounted on the unwind section, and the web travels through the slitting station where rotary blades cut it to the required finished widths. Each slit web is then wound onto individual cores mounted on the air-shaft rewinding unit.

The frequency conversion speed regulator provides smooth acceleration and deceleration, reducing web stress during start-up and stop cycles. This is particularly important when processing lighter-weight papers that are more sensitive to tension variation. The air-shaft design allows quick core loading and finished roll removal, minimizing changeover time between runs.

Quality Considerations for Finished Rolls

Roll quality depends on consistent tension control throughout the rewinding process. The frequency conversion drive maintains stable speed, while the air-shaft ensures the core is held firmly and concentrically. This combination produces rolls with uniform density and straight edges, which are essential for downstream printing, laminating, or packing operations.

For converters producing rolls that will be further processed, the adjustable slitting system allows you to match finished roll width precisely to your customer's requirements. This reduces waste from over-wide rolls and eliminates the need for additional trimming operations.

Factory Preparation and Installation Considerations

Plan for adequate clearance around the machine for parent roll loading and finished roll removal. Confirm that your floor can support the machine weight (approximately 2500 kg for the XY-AI-1092 and 3000 kg for the XY-AI-1575) plus the weight of loaded parent rolls. Ensure three-phase power is available at the installation point.
