Handling heavy paper, film and foil rolls safely is one of the most persistent challenges in converting and web processing. Manual roll handling exposes operators to injury, slows down changeovers and risks damaging expensive material — which is why so many mills and converters have turned to Schlumpf's ergonomic handling equipment to take the risk out of the process.
Schlumpf, founded in 1992 and based in Portland, Maine, is now part of Double E Group — joining a family of complementary web handling brands that also includes Appleton, Convertech, Daven and Epoch. Combined with Double E's own 50-plus year history of engineering core chucks, shafts, brakes and tension control systems, Double E Schlumpf gives converters a single source for everything from lifting and moving a roll to controlling web tension once it's running.
Motion Drives & Controls is proud to bring Double E Schlumpf's combined range to UK customers, offering roll, shaft and material handling equipment alongside the web handling components needed to keep production lines running safely and efficiently.
