The web converting and manufacturing industries are continually trending towards higher speeds with lower basis weight materials. Martin Automatic has developed new web transport technologies to address these challenges.
Airnertia is Martin’s patented roller technology that uses a near frictionless air bearing system to minimize roller inertia. Martin’s MDR or Magnetic Driven Roller technology is used in web transport rollers to reduce or eliminate the effects of roller mass, bearing friction, speed changes, and entrained (boundary layer) air. These technologies can enable higher process speed, lower web tension and reduced equipment size. Hands-on demonstrations of these systems at drupa will highlight Martin’s breadth of applied engineering expertise across many web-fed industries.
Martin is known worldwide for its comprehensive line of automatic splicing and roll change systems. An example on display is the TMSL automatic splicer. This free-standing system includes two roll unwind positions, splice unit and festoon (accumulator) for continuous feed of narrow web materials such as film, nonwoven and foam.
Some processes require, or benefit from, splices made with hot melt adhesive. Martin’s new proprietary hot melt glue feed system on display automatically dispenses adhesive and refills the applicator reservoir with precisely measured glue pellets.
“We enjoy showcasing our entrepreneurial spirit and finding new ways to provide our customers with performance enhancing and waste saving technologies,” said Gavin Rittmeyer, VP sales and marketing, Martin Automatic.
