At PRS, we have a solid background in the design and construction of paper finishing machinery, and the custom production winder shown above is an excellent example of the automated equipment we engineer and build on a regular basis.
A crucial part of the winding process is constant control of the winding material. Our well-engineered control systems incorporated load cell controlled tension feedback, load share controlled torque, and direct acting rider rolls with controlled relieving to ensure uniform forces at a maximum winding speed of 5,000 ft/min. Designed for flexibility, this machine has the capacity to manage 32 to 140 lb. basis weight paper on master rolls up to 180″ in width and 80″ in diameter. Featuring 12 slitters, it can rewind rolls up to 60″ in width on either 3″ or 6″ diameter cores. It is constructed in full compliance with all electrical and mechanical safety standards, and has an operator friendly interface complete with remote monitoring, production data tracking, as well as many other important features.
We have built several winders with similar features while incorporating location specific design options, such as empty spool kickout rails, automated slitter positioning and web threading systems, infeed rail systems, and more.

Precision Roll Solutions’s reputation for engineering and producing high quality machinery for the paper industry is well known. This renown brought us the opportunity to provide a turnkey reel system for a local tissue paper manufacturer. Our experienced and talented team of engineers worked in close collaboration with the customer to design a system with advanced control features that fully integrated into their existing plant-wide systems.
Built from the ground up in our Wisconsin manufacturing facility, the automated paper reel was designed with the flexibility to manage paper of basis weights from 9.5 to 12 lbs. It was complete with pressure controlled primary and secondary arms that ensured safe and gentle handling of the fragile product. Sophisticated in its simplicity, it was engineered with minimal wiring and piping to facilitate ease of operation and maintenance, and it also incorporated a comprehensive set of safety features. Constructed for long term reliability, our client was exceptionally satisfied with our design and workmanship.
