A heritage of excellence since 1978
Contiweb's journey in auto-splicing began in 1978, marking the start of a long-standing commitment to innovation and reliability in web handling. From the outset, we have focused on enhancing the efficiency and productivity of printing operations through cutting-edge auto-splicing technology. Over the decades, we have continually evolved our offerings, demonstrating our deep-rooted expertise and dedication to meeting the diverse needs of not only the printing industry but also packaging and other production sectors.
Comprehensive solutions for diverse applications
The advantages of auto-splicing systems are clear. These systems are engineered to dramatically increase productivity by facilitating seamless roll changes and minimizing downtime, allowing for continuous operation and maximized throughput. This efficiency is crucial in today’s fast-paced production environments, where every second counts.
Our auto-splicing technology caters to a wide range of applications, including:
- Web Offset Printing: Our flying pasters boost productivity and efficiency in web offset printing, a field known for its high-speed operations. With thousands of machines operating around the clock in demanding environments, we have built a strong reputation for reliability and performance.
- Web Inkjet Printing: We enhance web inkjet printing with auto-splicers for non-stop unwinding and auto rewinders for continuous rewinding. This integration streamlines the production process and offers a seamless solution for companies that prefer to finish their products offline.
- Sheetfed Offset Printing: When paired with a sheeter, our auto-splicers integrate seamlessly into sheetfed offset printing processes, increasing productivity and reducing substrate costs.
- Packaging and Converting: In paper bag and paper void fill production, our auto-splicers ensure seamless roll changes and reliable splicing, crucial for maintaining high production speeds and lowering production costs.
In addition to these applications, we provide auto-splicing solutions for various high-speed production environments beyond printing. Our auto-splicing systems are designed to meet the rigorous demands of fast-paced production, ensuring maximum productivity and minimal downtime.
Safe, user-friendly, and reliable
All our auto-splicing machines are designed with advanced safety features to protect operators and maintenance personnel. In addition to ensuring operational safety, these machines comply with CE safety standards, which certify that they meet the stringent health, safety, and environmental requirements mandated by the European Union. Moreover, our machines adhere to BG (Berufsgenossenschaft) safety regulations, which focus on preventing workplace accidents and ensuring the well-being of workers in Germany. By meeting both CE and BG safety requirements, we guarantee not only compliance with EU legislation but also the highest standards of occupational safety for our users.
We place a strong emphasis on user friendliness and staff safety. Our user-friendly designs are particularly valuable in an industry facing staff shortages. Easy-to-use interfaces, intuitive controls, and shaftless reel systems ensure that even less experienced operators can manage the machines effectively, reducing the learning curve and enhancing overall productivity.
One hallmark of our auto-splicing solutions is their exceptional durability. Built to withstand continuous operation, our splicers feature robust materials and advanced engineering. This durability is complemented by nearly 100% splice reliability, minimizing disruptions and ensuring consistent performance. Integration of infeed systems and web guiding enhances material flow, precise alignment, and optimal web tension. Additionally, advanced transport systems for reels and shaftless reel systems simplify reel handling and reduce setup times.
