SPM Split and Merge Unit
Overview:
The MBO SPM split and merge unit is a web finishing module placed prior to a sheeter that can slit the web into 2 ribbons and realign the ribbons over the top of each other. This allows 2 thicknesses of paper to be sent into the sheeter to make products such as 4 page letters and more. The module has its own drive system to pull the web from upstream units and maintain register control. There is a wide range of slitting and realignment capabilities making the SPM a versatile addition to a web finishing line. The basic model comes with a longitudinal knife to trim away any unwanted edges and there is an upgrade available to incorporate a gutter cut blade for center cut applications. As with all MBO web finishing modules, the SPM Split and Merge Module can be integrated for inline or near-line finishing solutions.
