Butler Automatic has announced its 1000 series automatic film splicer improves uptime and increases throughput in applications utilising wide, non-woven substrates. 

The 1000 series automatic splicer is designed to run at speeds up to 1400 feet per minute and can handle substrates up to 64 inches wide. The zero-speed splice technology allows for splices to be made without any interruption to production, allowing for increased throughput and profitability. The machine is designed to perform durable splices with its rolling nip splice head or optional heat seal butt splicing and is available in a low-tension model for applications requiring lower than typical tension.

The splicer’s digital variable gain controls ensure ease of operation. The compact design of the 1000 series automatic splicers makes them easy to install and to fit. The machine features a roll-over-roll design for a small footprint, even with large diameter rolls and doesn’t require a pit for installation.
