Spoolers voted “best of” in smarter packaging Windak’s AR spoolers have been named a “best of…” solution among the company’s customers in a 2024 survey, reflecting their effectiveness in reducing scrap, maintaining consistent cable quality and minimising downtime.

The AutoReeler spooling machine is designed to maximise uptime and enable in-line operation with extrusion lines. This streamlined approach helps manufacturers reduce manual intervention and enhance overall productivity. Windak’s Intelligent Scrap Handling (ISH) system supports higher quality standards by detecting faults, separating defective cable and completing spools with good cable, thereby minimising waste and ensuring that only quality products are delivered. By tackling these common production challenges, Windak’s equipment helps companies maintain consistent output quality and operational efficiency. To eliminate production delays, Windak’s in-line solutions reduce rewinding processes, optimising speed and reliability. The Spool Lab SL800 enables real-time cable testing: spools can be removed mid-process for quality checks without disrupting overall output. This integrated approach helps maintain strict quality control while keeping production lines running. Another key component in the line-up is the Wrap-App unit, which ensures finished spools remain protected during transport and storage, offering secure and reliable wrapping to keep the product safe.
