Modern high-speed papermaking lines pose notable challenges during reel turn-up procedures. Traditional manual reel exchange struggles to match elevated operating speeds, introducing occupational safety risks, excess material waste and unplanned production downtime. The Meixin waterjet reel turn-up system offers multi-dimensional practical advantages for papermaking manufacturers, spanning workplace safety, operational stability, material conservation, economic performance and versatile applicability.Occupational safety stands among its core strengths. Conventional reel turn-up requires operators to work in proximity to heavy rotating paper rolls, exposing personnel to potential mechanical hazards. Powered by full automation, this water-jet system eliminates manual intervention within high-risk reel change areas. Operators merely supervise the whole process remotely through the intelligent PLC control cabinet, substantially improving site safety conditions.Production stability and operational efficiency are significantly improved with its outstanding turn-up success rate exceeding 99.5%. Rare turn-up failures prevent unplanned machine shutdowns triggered by faulty web transfer. The paper web can be transferred from the completed full reel to a fresh spool in a brief window without decelerating the paper machine, which effectively boosts overall production throughput. Moreover, the system guarantees smooth adhesion of paper onto new spools. It removes bottom-reel creases, a prevalent defect generated by manual reel changing, and substantially reduces waste paper generation.The solution delivers measurable economic benefits to paper mills. It lifts the finished product yield by 0.5% to 3%. While the equipment demands upfront capital expenditure, it delivers sustained returns over its service life by cutting paper waste and increasing qualified output. The system features user-friendly operation; factory personnel can achieve proficient control with minimal specialized training.Furthermore, it exhibits broad adaptability to diverse paper grades. It is compatible with corrugated paper, kraft paper, white cardboard, newsprint, cultural paper and tissue paper. For newly constructed production lines or retrofitted existing machines alike, this waterjet reel turn-up system enables producers to reduce operational expenditure and strengthen their overall market competitiveness.
