The Carrier Unwind is located at the beginning of the modified bitumen membrane line, where it feeds reinforcement material—such as fiberglass or polyester—into the process. The roll is supported and gradually unwound while a braking system manages tension, keeping the material from pulling too tight or sagging. At the same time, guiding components help keep the material centered as it moves forward, so it enters the next stage of the line evenly and without distortion.
As production continues, the system maintains a steady, consistent flow of material to match line speed. When a roll is nearly depleted, the unwind is designed to allow for a smooth transition to the next roll, helping avoid interruptions. By controlling how the material is unwound, aligned, and fed into the line, the Carrier Unwind helps ensure the reinforcement layer is positioned correctly—setting the stage for uniform coating and overall product consistency.
