Universal X8 Slitter Rewinder
The Universal X8 is the latest slitter rewinder from Universal Converting Equipment. Designed for minimal operator intervention, the Universal X8 seamlessly integrates cutting-edge features such as roll weighing and labelling, roll conveying, automatic roll bagging, and robotic palletizing.
Building on the success of the Universal X6 and X6VT models, the Universal X8 pushes the technology to the next level. It offers unmatched productivity while maintaining ease of use. With its advanced integrated systems, setup times for new products are significantly reduced and the transition between roll sets is our fastest yet. The Universal X8 is engineered to handle tasks that can be more efficiently performed by the machine, maximising running time and freeing up operators to focus on other tasks.
Productivity
- High speed – 1000 m/min
- Simple to set up and operate
