The Dusenbery 735AM and FAM series slitter rewinders, designed and built by Aldus in Sydney, have proven to be very popular with installations around Australia, New Zealand, Asia and South Africa. 

The latest machine in this series has recently been completed and is destined for an undisclosed client and features a new design shaftless self loading unwind stand, eliminating all manual lifting at the unwind position. This unwind, like the shafted version, can be positioned at the front or rear of the machine, depending upon the clients preference. 

This particular machine also features laser core positioning for quick and easy core setting at the rewind and the new Tidland D4 air differential shafts. The innovative laser core positioning system can be programmed for a variety of slit width recipe’s and after each setup the laser returns and checks each core position just in case one has moved inadvertently. 

Automatic unwind tension control is via a MAGPOWR closed loop load cell system and a Fife CDP-01 automatic web guide is fitted as standard.

The drive system utilises two AC motors and operator controls and touch screen are conveniently located in an ergonomic swinging pendant at the rewind position. 

Slitting can be kiss shear utilising Tidland Class 1 pneumatic knives or razor slitting or both, all of which are designed for quick and tool less set up. Shear slitting requires no female knife spacers hence initial cost and set up times are reduced.
