Successful Winding of Coated Papers

Many new technologies and developments designed to increase paper machine speeds and improve paper printability have emerged in recent years. These improvements have changed the structure of paper and given winder manufacturers new challenges, especially as the requirements of printing presses have also changed. Ever-increasing roll widths and diameters are needed. Along with faster press speeds and shorter acceleration times, the unwinding of roils in the press room has become a true test of paper strength and roll structure, In the following we will review the special winding features of coated papers and discuss a selection of the winder type to meet a mill's specific needs.
