SINCE 1955, Spoolex has been engineering and manufacturing converting equipment for various industries. Having delivered machines in more than 100 countries, Spoolex has made an important step by extending its core competences to become a global partner for converting solutions. Spoolex has, through its worldwide brand Calemard®, expertise in slitting and rewinding/spooling. To meet the needs of high productivity, operator safety and line flexibility, Spoolex’s R&D department has developed several automated solutions around these brands’ know-how to provide complete cell from initial handling to final product packing. Calemard has been involved in web converting machinery design and manufacture since 1955 in a wide range of markets and applications. This know-how has enabled the company to become a technical partner for converters for power or special cables, searching quality while increasing productivity. Its slitter-rewinders and spooling lines are engineered to respond to four main targets: modularity, flexibility, versatility and quality. Every piece of Calemard equipment consists of three modules, for unwinding, slitting and rewinding. Regarding rewinding modules, its range includes either standard bobbin/pancake rewinding and also spooling technology. Its slitter-rewinders can be fitted with individual friction shafts to compensate the thickness variations of foils/adhesive tapes/ laminates, or standard pneumatic shafts, lay-on arms with adjustable pressure, and cantilevered shafts for easy unloading.

Different spooling technologies exist depending on the customer’s need: digital self-traversing spooling lines for sensitive products and fixed spooling technology for stable products. Each of the spooling lines proposes the common advantage of full computer control of winding profiles and individual setting of each position to ensure flexibility, consistency, stability of the spool (especially for narrow width materials) and exact repeatability thanks to a recipe storage system. The digital function allows managing of shapes and spooling technology (conical/pineapple/pyramidal, step-winding). Based on a modular design, the Calemard spooling lines can be easily increased with spooling units to follow the increase of customer production. The company offers single machines to complete converting cells thanks to several automated loading and unloading solutions to boost productivity and operator safety.
