WINDER SOLUTIONS
CUSTOM SOLUTIONS FOR PAPER MILL WINDERS!
Winder systems and their associated slitters operate under heavy stress due to continuous acceleration and deceleration, not to mention the high speed of the operation. As winder equipment ages, there can be inherent issues such as mechanical play, wear and tear of parts, and leakage of hydraulic oil. It is often difficult to find replacement parts as these parts break down.
EXPLORE CUSTOM SOLUTIONS FOR WINDER SYSTEMS
JSI Mill Solutions offers a host of winding solutions, including winder optimization and modernization services, machine upgrades, and parts and products that ensure your winder equipment stays in tip-top shape. These solutions significantly extend the safety and equipment usability, saving cost and increasing productivity for years to come.
WINDER REBUILDS
To counter the ever-increasing cost of new machinery, JSI offers a winder-rebuilding service that upgrades existing winders to like-new conditions for a fraction of the cost of a new winder. Winder upgrades include:
-
New controls and a new HMI system
-
Control system updates
-
Automatic slitter positioning technology
-
A dual spreader
-
A direct-acting rider roll
-
Auto core feeding and end gluing for capacity improvement
-
Runnability improvements by new sectional rolls
-
Winder safety system upgrade

Winder Modernization
Capacity can make all the difference in a mill operation. For those who aren’t ready to purchase new machines with larger capacities, JSI offers improvements to existing winders in lieu of such a large commitment. JSI can supply proven upgrades to your existing winder setups. We customize new solutions that were not included in the initial purchase of your machine. Upgrades can be made to tail threading, core loading sequences, automatic set change functions, and more. Our winder-specific engineered solutions provide a reliable and cost-effective approach to winder systems of all manufacturers and capacities.
case study
GOAL: Reduce setup time and increase accuracy for the winder systems of one of our paper mill clients.
JSI SOLUTION: Replace the current drive system on their winder equipment with the new Rockwell Servo system and change out the current encoders with new absolute magnetic encoders.
RESULTS: JSI Mill Solutions reduced setup time for our client from over 4 minutes to under 1 minute (a 400%+ increase in efficiency!)

TROUBLESHOOTING
Troubleshooting old and new winder systems 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 equipment.
Program Changes
Process and winder equipment changes may require program changes for the winder to operate efficiently and safely. JSI can run program simulations prior to implementing actual changes to provide a clear understanding of the effects of the changes. These simulations often reduce the commissioning time of new functions, thus reducing the machine downtime. You can trust our methodical processes which always keep safety, efficiency, and reduced downtime top of mind.

Controls Modernization
Obsolete sensor and control technology is a common issue with outdated winders. This can cause challenges with component support and spare part availability. JSI can make a controlled component change in which we identify the existing components, their capabilities, and their desired functionality. At times, compatibility issues can arise with safety PLC and new sensor technology. We take a methodical approach to the sensor replacement to prevent these kinds of issues. Your new updated sensor technology also may increase control accuracy and winder capability.

NEW WINDERS
JSI is a proud Sales Agent of Windmaster - by Raumaster Paper. Windmaster is Raumaster’s new generation two-drum slitting winder embodying state-of-the-art engineering, functionality, and a modern design. Its modular concept allows for a high level of adaptability to all dimensions, roll widths, paper grades, and the desired degree of automation and equipment. Thanks to a stable and robust design, the operation is smooth with little vibration producing excellent roll quality.
The higher the level of automation, the higher the capacity and level of safety. Windmaster customer-preferred features are, amongst others:
-
control system according to EN 1034-3
-
automatic splicing
-
automatic core loading with start & end gluing
-
automatic spool cleaning & returning system
-
automatic slitter positioning
-
integrated dust extraction at the slitter station
-
winding drum surface selectable according to product
-
machine reel storages
-
slabbing station
Maximum quality and capacity
At its best, this winder system is fully automated and highly equipped thus operating at extremely high operating speed. Short set-change and zero-speed -time as well as a quick machine reel change system with automatic splicing add to safety and exceptional process speed.
Optimal roll quality is reached by a roll hardness control system, which adjusts rider roll load and drum winding force under recipe control. Machine reel storage stations can be equipped with reel rotation drives to prevent roll deformation.

PERFORMANCE OPTIMIZATION
JSI provides engineered control systems and software solutions for your existing OEM machinery. Our automation services provide performance optimization, products and troubleshooting projects to maximize safety and efficiency in your existing winder equipment and processes.
Example: Winder cycle time reductions are an example of a cost-effective way to optimize performance by increasing throughput and utilizing existing winder equipment to its full potential. JSI can fine tune your existing automated sequences with our methodical approach that combines the PLC controls, hydraulic and pneumatic controls, and the process conditions. Cycle time reductions of even seconds in individual movements and actions within a sequence can yield a significant improvement in winder throughput in a 24-hour period.
