The SP3 Twin Tube offers a compact and highly efficient automatic splicing solution designed for integration into VFFS Twin Tube machines. The SP3 is simply designed with easy to replace wear parts and provides a very fast ROI. With a smaller footprint, taking up less floor space than 2 SP1 Butler splicers, the SP3 Twin Tube Automatic Splicer is a reliable solution that increases overall packaging line output.
Automatic Splicing
After the operator has prepared the splice, the SP3 Twin Tube will continuously monitor the running roll of film and automatically fire the splice before it fully expires.
The SP3 Twin Tube features an end of roll sensor system that triggers the splice, leaving a minimum amount of unused film on the expired roll.
After the splice has occurred, the expired roll is removed, a new roll is loaded, the new splice is set up, and the cycle is repeated, all without ever stopping production.
Configurations and Options
The SP3 Twin Tube is designed to be highly configurable in order to fit each end user's needs. Butler builds each SP3 Twin Tube to the dimensions of the film rolls that will be run on it in order to minimize costs and maximize the Return on Investment. The SP3 Twin Tube can also be equipped with a wide variety of options to maximize performance and meet the unique requirements for each application and plant.
