TCL Packaging has purchased and installed a new slitter rewinder for its production facility at Stafford Park, in the UK. The Panthere 4 machine from DCM is part of the company's drive to increase capacity, maximise production efficiencies and reduce lead times to meet demand for its packaging films.
The Panthere 4 has a high speed rewinding capacity for up to 800mm diameter reels, along with precision tension control and cutting. It is the fifth slitter to be purchased by TCL as the company continues to experience double-digit sales growth in both printed and non-printed films.
The increased production volume provided by the new machine is further augmented by in-line slitting of large diameter packaging films reels available on TCL's recently installed Uteco Onyx 808GL central impression flexo press, which removes the need for some post-processing.
