Bilcare has launched U.S. slitting operations in its Phoenixville, PA facility, which houses a state-of-the-art Slitter Rewinder. According to the company, this will shorten lead-times and enable quick delivery to pharmaceutical industry customers.
The company's slitting operation features: full computer control, improved, uniform web and roll tension control, programmable auto knife positioning, accurate edge wind control, an auto unloading system to reduce changeover time and run speeds as high as 1,000 ft./min. Also, three static eliminator bars strategically positioned on the machine eliminate static of slit rolls. The slitter operation is also capable of using an online modem for remote diagnostics for reduced downtime.
The company’s packaging features include: slit rolls wrapped in black, stretched film, core plugs for added strength, edge guards on the top and bottom circumference, 250 lb.-tested double-walled white cartons—which are taped and strapped—and all skids are strapped and stretched wrapped.
