Hope Hu of Martin Automatic said, “The LRD will be fitted with optional features, some of which will be seen for the first time at a Labelexpo.”

The LRD is a two-spindle transfer rewind that winds, changes and automatically offloads rolls, without any need for carts or additional roll handling equipment. The unit at the Brussels show will demonstrate features including a web guide and slitter package for in-line slitting; a portability package for easy relocation between press lines; and an articulating arm to offload rolls through the front of the LRD if product rolls require special handling.

The LRD rewinder accommodates 800mm diameter rolls in the standard model, with smaller and larger diameter models available.

The company’s flagship MBS splicer at Labelexpo will feature Martin’s laser assist tape alignment system for easy splice preparation.

“We will also have our ‘splice closet’ to show visitors not only the array of materials these two machines transport and splice every day, but also the diverse experience of Martin in handling vast extremes of materials in the industry,” said Hu. 

The Martin Automatic MBS and LRD machines at Labelexpo Europe have been sold to Desmedt Labels and will be delivered after the exhibition.  This is a repeat order for the Belgium-based label company.
