Product Features

High speed splicing capability and reliability, improved tension control, easy splice preparation, zero-tail splice and smallest space requirements are only some of the Signature Splicer features

High-speed splicing capability

Modern controls combined with a robust mechanical splice head design for splices to occur up to 450mpm/1500fpm. Several Splicer models to choose from depending on the corrugator speed profile. Heavy or lightweight papers, narrow or wide web all splice reliably at the rated speed. Options such as Corefinder™ splice on diameter and interface to wet end controllers, further increase the reliability of splicer performance.

Improved Automatic Tension Control

Maintaining web tension is vital for good heat transfer and bonding strength. Signature splicers have an automatic tension control feature to ensure the web is evenly heated and not overstressed. This system prevents flute fracturing and reduces production loss from missed splices or web tear-outs.  The responsive servo tension control maintains the desired web tension to close tolerances during all phases of operation and splicing. Paper reel size is monitored and used in the web tension calculations.

Efficient and Reliable Splice Preparation

Splice preparation ergonomics are superb. An optional auto indexing system further simplifies the task. Combine this with a BW Papersystems service staff training session brings big results. The current world record is held by a BWP-trained operator at 10,139 successful, consecutive splices.  We offer the Century Club program that will reward your operators for 100, 500, and 1000 successful consecutive splices.

Zero-tail splice

This specially designed splice head creates an overlap of the splice to avoid tails that can cause dry end jams. Steel nip rolls ensure a very strong splice seal that will not open and travels through the wet end reliably.
