Non-stop flying pasters for web offset

The splice preparation for automatic splicing is a quick and straightforward task that only takes 2 minutes to complete. It can be easily performed while the production is ongoing. The operator's involvement is minimal and involves applying a linear adhesive tape for the straight-tape splice on the paper. The time required for splice preparation is limited to the actual preparation process itself.

If there are multiple buffer positions for paper reels available, the operator has the option to prepare and set up several paper reels for automatic changeover. This allows the operator to work on other tasks while the prepared reels are ready for seamless transitions.

Contiweb's non-stop flying pasters allow you to easily splice over to papers of varying coatings and weights. This feature is particularly beneficial for short and fast-changing printing jobs. Additionally, you can effortlessly utilize rest reels.

The Contiweb non-stop flying pasters are equipped with a standard overlap splice mechanism. In an overlap splice, the expiring roll and the new roll overlap, with the leading edge of the new roll positioned on top of the trailing edge of the expiring roll. This overlap is secured using adhesive tape. Overlap splices are known for their simplicity and reliability, allowing for seamless roll changes during the printing process. Contiweb non-stop flying pasters have a successful splicing rate of over 99.7%.

As an optional feature a tail cutter can be installed, to remove the loose end of the previous web that occurs after a paste cycle. By removing the tail, potential disturbances in the folding process are eliminated.

The Contiweb FD non-stop flying paster is equipped to handle reels with a diameter of up to 1,524 mm (60 inches) with a maximum weight of 7,500 kg, which provides a multitude of advantages and benefits for printing operations. It enables a significant increase in paper capacity, reduces the number of required pastes, lowers costs, minimizes web break risks, and provides operational flexibility for web operations, particularly those with multiple presses. This advanced capability sets a new benchmark in reel processing, revolutionizing the efficiency and performance of printing operations.

The Contiweb FB is available in two versions to cater to specific needs. A version designed for newspaper applications with a reel weight capacity of 1,000 kg and a version tailored for (semi-) commercial applications with a higher reel weight capacity of 1,600 kg. The FB can handle reels with a maximum diameter of 1,270 mm (50 inches).

Contiweb offers comprehensive reel logistics systems that can be customized to complement its state-of-the-art non-stop flying pasters. Stand-alone storage solutions and reel buffering systems are defined by advanced capabilities and ultimate reliability. The objective is to minimize the required operator attendance whilst ensuring operational reliability, thus reducing costs. In a system with four buffer positions, up to seven reels (one at each buffer position, one in the waiting position and two in the paster) can be prepared at the same time, and no further operator involvement is required until all seven reels are being used, as the empty reels are automatically collected in the core container. You can see an example of this set up below.

Contiweb extensive experience in designing systems for commercial web applications and for newspaper applications requiring an interface with multiple pasters. The additional Contiweb advantages are full automation and complete hardware and software integration with Contiweb non-stop flying pasters and press systems. No third party involvement is required for the installation and electronic integration of the reel logistics system with the reel stands.
