To meet large-order demands, Jantan Packaging & Printing Co., Suzhou, China, invested in non-stop unwinding and rewinding equipment from Martin Automatic. General Manager Kevin Huang says, "The improvement in production efficiency is obvious, especially for run lengths above 10,000 meters. Martin Automatic splicers and rewinders on our flexo presses have nearly doubled our throughput." A Gallus press is equipped with Martin's compact model STS butt splicer and STR rewinder. Two Gidue presses are optimized with Martin's full-featured model MBS splicer and LRD automatic rewinder. "Our food packaging customers demand much larger quantities, requiring the speed and efficiency gained only by automatic roll change. Martin equipped the LRD model rewinder with a system to wind slit rolls, enabling us to produce multiple narrow-width label rolls in line and making post-processing much easier and quicker." He adds, "For reliability and ease of use, the quality of Martin equipment is the best in the industry."
