LOOKING FOR CARRIERLESS PRODUCTION EQUIPMENT?

The Carrier Unwind is located at the beginning of the line, where it introduces reinforcement material into the process. It controls how the material is unwound, aligned, and fed forward to ensure a steady, consistent flow into downstream equipment.

The Splice Table is used to connect the end of one material roll to the start of the next during production. It enables consistent, reliable splicing—whether performed manually or with assisted controls—while maintaining material flow through the line.

The Dry Mat Accumulator stores reinforcement material within the line to keep production running during interruptions. It helps manage tension and material flow, allowing upstream and downstream processes to operate more consistently.

The Coating Section is where the asphalt blend is applied to the reinforcement material. It ensures even distribution and consistent coverage, forming the foundation of the finished membrane.

The Surfacing Section applies top and bottom materials to the coated membrane. It focuses on accurate placement and consistent distribution to achieve uniform coverage and appearance.

The Cooling Section gradually reduces the temperature of the membrane as it moves through the line. It maintains product stability while preparing the material for the next stage of processing.

The Nested Finished Product Accumulator temporarily stores finished membrane in a controlled pattern. It allows production to continue during downstream interruptions while maintaining organized product flow.

 

The Driven Shock Roll System stabilizes the membrane as it transitions into the winding stage. It manages tension and absorbs sudden disturbances to support smooth, controlled material flow.

The Membrane Winder forms the finished product into uniform rolls. It controls alignment and tension to produce clean, stable rolls ready for handling and packaging.

The Core Inserter automatically positions cores for roll formation at the end of the line. It ensures proper alignment so the membrane can be wound evenly and consistently.

The Roll Palletizer organizes and stacks finished rolls onto pallets. It automates the final stage of production, improving consistency, handling, and preparation for shipment.
