UNIQUE TECHNOLOGY
Automatic reel management
Reel handling optimisation is of fundamental importance to converting lines. Our Integrated Robotic System loads, unloads and splices reels with exceptional levels of automation and safety, ensuring maximum continuity of the production process. It also allows for the automatic changing of embossing rolls and can carry out maintenance operations from the unwinders up to the rewinder.
With operators freed up from many traditionally manual operations, it delivers not only exceptional safety but also unprecedented levels of productivity.
Automatic core system cleaning
The Andromeda system also totally automates the handling and cleaning of the empty reel while the machine is in operation. The empty reel is transported by Robotic crane to the cleaning system which automatically removes any remaining paper without damaging the core. From here, perfectly cleaned, it is positioned on the loading / unloading platform and moved to the warehouse. Once again, these procedures take place almost totally free of human intervention.
Complete casing
The Andromeda system is fully enclosed with automatic roofs which open only when necessary. Although achieving exceptionally high speeds, it is the quietest system on the market and ensures greater control of dust by containing it within the machine enclosure. This avoids contamination of the plant and also reduces the load on the suction system.
The control room
What sets Andromeda apart from conventional lines with more basic levels of automation, is that the majority of operations are carried from the complete safety of a control room dedicated to one or more converting lines, using Futura’s latest-generation control system.
