The new pope reel of the FU series allows the automated unloading of paper rolls on the ground or on transport shuttles, to optimize and speed up the internal logistics of the paper mill and automating all the processes. This order, after the press rebuilt carried at the end of 2020 confirms De Iuliis strong position as a long-term partner for the paper industry and his leadership in paper machine upgrade and rebuilds.
The collaboration of De Iuliis has been going on for several decades with Cartiere di Trevi, an Italian paper mill with a long tradition, run by a young, highly dynamic management team, with a great propensity for technical and technological innovation.
The existing production line produces a board with a basis weight up to 600 gms, a working width of 2,500 mm, and a design speed of 600 m/min for the production of colored paper and board made using 100% waste paper as raw material. De Iuliis will install the new DJM FU POPE winder, which will bring the maximum jumbo roll from 1500 mm to 2350mm, with a great increase in production. The aim is to speed up the roll change with the minimum operator intervention, increasing the safety and the easiness of the operations.
This next-generation winder will be fully integrated with the paper mill logistic, with the automatic unload of the jumbo roll to wireless electric AGV, also part of De Iuliis supply, that will autonomously transport the jumbo rolls to the re-winder department. The new De Iuliis system will interface with the current DCS system of the paper mill, providing full integration with the logistic and the production, in 4.0 vision.
The Turnkey project will include the pope winder, spools, AGV transport system, as well as the modification of the existing De Iuliis unloader in order to accept the bigger jumbo rolls, commissioning and start-up assistance. The job is underway while commissioning is scheduled for the middle 2021.
