May 29, 2015 - Butler Automatic announces SP1 Automatic Film Splicer that performs non-stop film changes in food and beverage packaging operations, eliminating the packaging line downtime caused by manual film roll changes.
The device senses the diameter of the expiring roll of film and automatically splices the end of each expiring roll onto the new roll. It is capable of running at speeds of up to 600 feet per minute (FPM).
In addition to the standard SP1 automatic splicer, Butler offers the SP1 RB, designed for full wash-down capability. The SP1 RB is built to standards common with many regulatory requirements. It features mostly stainless steel construction, with only specific splicing head cylinders using coated aluminum, and has minimal flat surfaces.
