Is your packaging line choking your slitting line?

Avon Engineering designs and manufactures a full range of slit coil packaging systems to work in conjunction with standard and special application slitting lines. These Avon systems can be supplied in economical, manually operated configurations or in sophisticated, automated, PC-controlled high production systems designed to meet virtually any plant layout.

Call on Avon Engineering coil packaging systems to:

• Increase material flow.

• Reduce product damage.

• Reduce maintenance costs and downtime.

• Reduce labor costs.

• Increase profitability.

Packaging lines can be remotely located to service more than one slitting line or can be located directly after a slitting line. Slit coil packaging systems may include coil downenders, conveyors, banding machines, stackers, sortation tables, weigh scales and run out conveyors with a multitude of layout configurations available.

As with all products from Avon Engineering, you can count on our engineering experience and ability to provide quality equipment, operator training and committed after-sale support.

Downenders

Coil downenders remove the coils from the turnstile arm.

Traveling (Pick and Place) Downender

• Traveling downenders minimize risks of coil ID marking and telescoping on the turnstile arm.

• Push-off is not needed on turnstile.

• Downenders are ideal for sensitive materials of any gauge or mult width.

• Automatic "Double Pick" routine for narrow mult widths is available for greater security.

• Downenders can be installed at floor level.

• Magnetic or vacuum stabilization for narrow mults.

• Choice of in-line discharge or 90º discharge.

• Coil width data input by keyboard or bar code scanner.

• Downenders work with Avon mult-tracking software.

• Reliable, consistent operation with user-friendly controls.

Fixed Position Downender

• Fixed position downenders operate with push-off style turnstile.

• Better suited for heavy gauge materials.

• Not recommended for light gauge sensitive materials.

• Simple operation with semi-automatic sequence control.

• Floor level installation.

• Choice of in-line discharge or 90º discharge.

• Reliable, consistent operation with user-friendly controls.
