EXPLORE OUR WINDER SERVICES
The winder specialists at JSI Mill Solutions offer a host of winder services to improve and maintain the performance of your paper winder machine including winder audits, winder inspections, winder alignment, and winder maintenance programs including our slitter solutions program.
WINDER AUDITS
JSI’s Mechanical Winder Audits consist of a thorough examination of the winder, performed by one of our winder specialists. Our Mechanical Audits provide detailed information on the condition of the electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic, and mechanical components. Once the audit is complete, the client receives a baseline condition report, along with JSI’s recommendations to improve winder capacity, reliability, and operational preventive maintenance.
Don’t Go Another Moment Without Knowing How Your Winder is Performing.
WINDER ALIGNMENT
JSI’s winder alignment service is a winder-specific alignment visit that addresses the need for installation configuration on rebuild projects. Corrective measures can be included in the package, or the alignment check can be conducted in cooperation with the mill assets for corrective work.

Develop a coordinate system for alignment and adjustments to your equipment.
-
Our winder specialists will assist with your equipment adjustments as needed.

Provide an as-found and as-left report of all equipment measured and adjustments made.

JSI Slitter Solutions Program (SSP)
THE PROBLEM:
Ensuring optimal slitting performance is a combination of several factors:
-
The condition of the slitter equipment
-
Operator skill
-
Blade and band quality
-
Sharpening quality
If any factors are not functioning properly, it can result in a shortened slitter life and excessive downtime for slitter changes and return roll due to dusting and rough edges. Managing this process can be costly and time-consuming.

THE SOLUTION:
The Slitter Solution Program (SSP) is a comprehensive solution configured specifically for your slitter section needs. The SSP will help your mill control the slitting process, extending blade life and band change intervals while improving roll quality. Implementing SSP by JSI will help decrease maintenance costs and increase efficiency.

Winder Maintenance Training
TNTS: Torque, Nip, Tension, Speed
Torque, Nip, Tension, and Speed are all controllable attributes for successful roll building. This training was developed for winder operators to generate better customer rolls, increasing winder runnability and reducing waste product. TNTS training can also be useful for maintenance and management in understanding the challenges and opportunities on the winder.
Our experienced winder specialist conducts the training session in a classroom setting and focuses on mill-specific equipment.
Who should attend? This class is designed for mill maintenance and operation personnel. Also, this is an ideal opportunity for anyone needing to increase his or her knowledge of TNTS.
Equip Your Winder Operators to Increase Efficiency, Reduce Waste, and Deliver Better Rolls.
ONSITE AND VIRTUAL WINDER SUPPORT
Troubleshooting old and new winder controls and several generations of control technology can be challenging. At times, existing functions and automation are no longer used due to reliability issues, faulty equipment, or faulty sensor technology. Identifying the root cause of these problems and addressing them can return the lost functionality back to operation and increase the overall productivity of the winder.
Whether you need a second pair of eyes or hands, JSI winder specialists are available for onsite troubleshooting calls and will work, hands-on, with operators to solve and fix the problem that is occurring within the winder.
Not interested in a full Winder Maintenance Program or budget constraints prevent you from having our specialists on-site? Consider our Winder Virtual Troubleshooting Program. For a low monthly cost, you will have access to our winder specialists through our Help Desk, Zoom, Team Meetings, email, and phone support. We will commit an allotted number of hours “virtually” to your plant. Our specialist will follow up with a written report, with recommendations.
