GOEBEL IMS showcases the future of slitting and winding solutions for film manufacturers and converters at K 2019

Groundbreaking innovations, visionary ideas and the departure into a new dimension – this is what this year’s K 2019 is all about. Between 16 – 23 October, plastics and rubber industry professionals will be able to explore a “world of pioneers” and the Universe of GOEBEL IMS at the global leading trade fair in Dusseldorf, Germany. In Hall 3, Booth B73, GOEBEL IMS will present developments for the film manufacturing and converting industries that go beyond slitting and winding machines. The globally renowned manufacturer will exhibit a brand-new machine as the result of its intense research and development work around flexible packaging technologies. The newest addition to the comprehensive portfolio of state-of-the-art slitting and winding solutions will surprise the visitors with its completely new and modern design. Further, it fulfills the industry’s latest demands for performance and precision. Requiring only minimum operative space and investments, the compact center driven dual-shaft slitter rewinder is small in size, yet big in technology. Available either as a basic machine or with advanced technical functions and customized features, the new slitting and winding solution converts mother rolls with widths between 1,000 mm and 1,600 mm at production speeds of up to 600 m/min. Some machines have already been commissioned by film manufacturers and converters. In addition to GOEBEL IMS’ newest machine innovation, trade show visitors can experience the comprehensive primary portfolio of slitting and winding solutions combining high performance and top quality with cutting-edge technology. With impressive working widths of up to 12,000 mm, the MONOSLIT GIANT is the superlative primary slitter for film producers. It can process a broad spectrum of film, such as BOPP, BOPET, OPP, CPP, BOPA, BOPS, and other special films at speeds of up to 1,500 m/min. It is designed for a broad range of applications, including packaging and capacitor films, battery separator and optical films. With GOEBEL IMS’ INTERSLIT, outstanding results in the production of narrow rolls, starting from a minimum slitting width of 180 mm, at top speeds of up to 1,200 m/min are guaranteed. Though sounding similar, INTERSLIT BSF is truly different. This primary slitter rewinder is dedicated to processing ultra-sensitive materials such as battery separator films and wet processed BOPE-based battery separator films with web widths of up to 6,000 mm. Rounding off the portfolio of innovative primary slitter rewinders is the XTRASLIT 2. Since its introduction, this high-end machine provides film and flexible packaging manufacturers with maximum performance, precision and flexibility and has thus been enjoying growing popularity, especially among CPP film producers and metallizers.
