The IR350 is an extended version of the established GM IR330 Inspection Rewinder, both built on the most modern electronic platform. Converting webs in widths up to 350mm on rolls of max 400mm in diameter, the GM IR350 offers high converting speeds of up to 200m/min.
The new machine is fully compliant with all requirements for pharmaceutical and safety controls characterized by high standards and the highest quality. It can be used for multiple operations depending on the configuration, including inspection, back-numbering, counting, slitting and multi-layer (peel & reveal) labels.
The IR350 stands out due to its high speed and high precision, its short inspection table ensures the machine has a small footprint, saving space in the production environment. The machine is fully configurable and retrofittable.
Multifunctionality
IR350 can function as an inspection unit or a slitter rewinder depending on the configuration. The unit can work offline as a separate machine or inline with a dancer arm. In inline mode, it is typically connected to a digital press.
