WINDING & UNWINDING SYSTEMS

Automatic Winders

Continuous Winding, Cutting, and Doffing Without Stopping the Line

Menzel’s Automatic Winders are engineered for nonstop production, allowing you to wind, cut, doff, and start new rolls without interrupting the range. Whether you choose the 3 Roll or 4 Roll configuration, these systems deliver fully automated roll handling that improves product quality, increases throughput, and reduces operator intervention.

Designed for demanding 24 hour operations, Menzel Automatic Winders support a wide variety of web materials and integrate seamlessly into modern finishing lines.

  • Pneumatically actuated serrated knife assembly for automatic plunge cutting at preset yardage
  • Core and mandrel magazine for automatic core loading
  • User‑friendly control station with digital counter, multiple readouts, and PC‑based controls

Optional Features

  • Pneumatically driven circular knives for difficult‑to‑cut webs
  • DC drive system with compensator control for consistent winding tension
  • Operator’s platform for web inspection and convenient access to controls
  • Slitting attachment for converting into multiple webs prior to winding

3‑Roll Automatic Winder

The 3‑Roll Automatic Winder is a computer‑controlled system that manages the entire winding cycle—from core loading to cutting to doffing—while the production line keeps running. Rolls from 8″ to 50″ in diameter can be wound at speeds up to 200 yards per minute, making it an ideal choice for high‑volume operations.

4‑Roll Automatic Winder

For applications involving delicate or stretch‑prone materials, the 4‑Roll Automatic Winder provides additional web support and tension control. Its four‑roll configuration stabilizes the web during winding, helping maintain roll quality and material integrity at higher speeds.

This system is ideal for sensitive webs that require gentle handling, precise tension management, and consistent roll formation.

Built for Demanding Production Environments

Both the 3‑Roll and 4‑Roll Automatic Winders are engineered for reliability, accuracy, and ease of operation. Their robust construction, automated controls, and flexible configuration options make them trusted solutions for manufacturers seeking to improve efficiency and roll quality.
