The triple unwind stand (bottom right) is an excellent example of Double E's customization expertise. This stand is a unique design that was engineered for a producer of laminated film. The customer needed a more efficient method for manufacturing a five-layered material. Since the customer already had three individual stands, Double E engineered this stand to replace one of those single unwind stands to give them a total of five unwind sections. This stand consisted of a control panel with three tension controllers, safety chucks holding three DG-2000 aluminum bladder shafts and regulated with load cells and pneumatic brakes.
Drop-In Unwind Modules
Double E can also offer drop-in or bolt-on modules to upgrade existing machines.
As an example, this custom module was created for a supplier of plastic sheets and roll stock. The customer needed a bolt-on double unwind stand with closed loop tension controls and load cell frames for regulating tension.
This stand consisted of two DG-2000 aluminum bladder shafts held by four safety chucks and regulated by two pneumatic brakes.
Basic Roll Stand Configurations
Solution "S" - Open Loop Tension Control
The Solution Series Simple Unwind Stand is ideal when tension control is already established, and a stand is needed only to support the shaft, safety chucks, and brake. Standard model includes A-frame, 60” - 100” web width, 40” max roll diameter, steel “Dyna–Grip” lug shaft, Double E EE250 pneumatic brake, SP11 safety chucks, and one exit roller.
Options/Upgrades: web guiding, “Dura–Light” carbon fiber lug shaft, 60” max roll diameter, web width < 60” or > 100”.
