Keeping a web running at speed depends on what's gripping the core. Slippage, roll bounce, uneven tension and exposed pinch points all cost converters the same things — scrap, downtime and risk to operators — which is why so many mills and converters build their unwinds and rewinds around Double E components.
Double E Group has been engineering web handling components for the paper, film and foil industries since 1972, working out of West Bridgewater, Massachusetts. Its DF-2000 core chucks and carbon fibre shafts helped set the standard for converting safety and performance, and the group has since brought together a family of specialist brands — Appleton, Convertech, Daven, Epoch and Schlumpf — covering everything from core cutting to roll handling. The catalogue spans core chucks, core shafts, safety chucks, brakes and brake pads, rollers, slitting systems and knife holders, trim removal, wrinkle removal, roll stands and processing modules, core plugs, reel spools and web tension control.
Motion Drives & Controls is proud to bring Double E Group's range to UK customers, supplying the web handling and converting components that keep production lines running safely, accurately and efficiently.
