Payne has extended its slitting capability at its Banbury (UK) manufacturing site with the delivery of a new Titan SR8 cantilever slitter rewinder from Bobst Group.

The 1,650mm wide slitting machine runs at speeds of up to 600 metres per minute and with short set-up times, enables the company to offer improved lead times and order turn-around, said Payne.

The Titan SR8 will process the full range of Payne's coated film and security products on both two-inch and three-inch cores, in addition to self-adhesive films, label stock and other plain films.

Mark Palmer, the managing director of Payne Coated Film, said: "We chose the Titan SR8 because of its versatility and capability to substantially increase productivity whilst improving product quality and reducing lead times.

It is instrumental in our strategy to further develop quality and service across our business and sets new standards for delivery within the market." Time-saving features such as automatic knife setting and semi-automated slit reel unloading will help to achieve reduced lead times.

In addition to this, utilisation of the latest digital drives provide superior tension control, ensuring that there is no compromise on wind quality, whilst a thread path roll change system will enable quick and easy change-over of roller types for added flexibility, added Payne.
