Rolamatic and Powerline Handling Equipment

Reliant offers a wide range of bespoke handling equipment including unwinders, rewinders, accumulators, nip systems, and others. Reliant's range of winders covers the most delicate tension-sensitive substrate to the heaviest material. 

The Rolamatic range is suitable for lightweight rolls of materials, while the Powerline is our heavy-duty range suited for heavy rolls. The main features of both are: 

  • From a few kilos to 4.000 kg capacity per position
  • Driven and non-driven units
  • Centre, surface and cantilevered models
  • Single or multi-positions
  • Wide selection of shafts, core chucks, and safety chucks
  • Low, middle and high-level positioning
  • Manual or automatic edge guide
  • Fixed on the floor or mounted on rails with quick-release connections

The laminating process in Reliant's  machines is tension-free; therefore, you can laminate, among other materials, bi-elastic warp knits or multiaxial hybrid fabrics without any distortion. However, the handling equipment is also crucial for tension-free processes; poor tension control leads to many material faults and poor roll formation, wrinkles, web stretching, roll blocking, crushed cores, telescopic rolls, and many other problems.

For that reason, we developed a wide range of tension control systems as follows:

We also offer cross-cutters, slitters and edge trimmers for smooth operations and easy roll replacement in our rewinding units. Besides, for continuous and non-stop processing, we have a line of accumulators for pre or post-lamination. Check our converting page for more details about our cross-cutters, slitting systems, and accumulators.
