Don & Low, a supplier of polyolefin-based nonwoven materials, invested in a Universal Converting Equipment  X6 slitting machine. The converter needed to reduce set-up times, automate as many processes as possible, and produce slit rolls to 1,000mm in diameter with precise tension control. Keith Galloway, general manager, said, "We talked to many companies about our requirements and Universal stood out as a company that could meet our technical requirements while still staying within our budget limits. We are based in Forfar, Scotland, and sometimes we can struggle for a fast response from our machine suppliers. Universal have invested heavily in developing their diagnostic systems so we have the comfort that if a problem occurs, we have the information available to solve it ourselves. The free lifetime support is a statement in the confidence Universal have in their equipment. It is great to have a machine that can almost set itself, leaving the operator to focus on other tasks. The automatic knife setting system is a massive time and cost saver. Most knife set ups take just over a minute. Likewise, the closed loop tension control and gap winding capability ensures that we always produce high quality slit rolls."
