Product catalog summary
Overview: The document describes the Transroll-P, a material roll change and storing system developed by bullmer GmbH, a German company known for its high-quality automated machines for material handling and cutting. The system is designed to enhance efficiency in industries such as upholstered furniture and technical textiles by automating the roll change process.
System Description: The Transroll-P is a flexible storage system with an automatic roller quick change feature, intended for installation in cutting rooms. It integrates with bullmer spreading machines or unwinding devices to automate the workflow from roll provision to fabric spreading or cutting. This system is particularly beneficial for frequent roll changes and small batch processing.
Target Industry: The system is aimed at the upholstered furniture industry and processors of technical textiles, capable of handling all types of fabrics stored in rolls.
Components and Functionality: The system includes mobile fabric roll transport carriages that are loaded and unloaded outside their operating sites. These carriages are equipped with adjustable holding brackets and can be expanded with additional carriages. The fabric roll provider uses a guide track and roller-guided supporting columns to facilitate the loading and unloading of fabric rolls, ensuring a continuous automatic production process.
Interchangeable Features: Fabric rolls are identified via barcode, allowing automatic roll changes in sequence with the order. The system enables time-overlapping processes, minimizing downtime during roll changes.
Time-Sequence and Continuity: The system allows for serial processing of rolls and continuity in workflow by changing transport carriages. Automatic operation is paused for safety during carriage changes, after which it resumes seamlessly.
Benefits: The Transroll-P enhances cost-effectiveness by automating multiple work processes, leading to significant time savings. The system is particularly advantageous when roll changes are frequent and the number of cuts per roll is small.
Additional Features: The system can be operated by a single person and offers functional expansion options, such as offloading assistance for cutters.
Conclusion: The Transroll-P represents a high-tech production concept for single-layer and multi-ply cutting, offering efficiency and savings in material handling and processing.

MATERIAL ROLL CHANGE AND STORING SYSTEM TRANSROLL-P The Transroll-P is a flexible role providing storage with an automatic roller quick change system to be installed directly in the cutting room. The Transroll-P is mainly combined with either a bullmer spreading machine with central drive or with an unwinding device which is installed in front of a cutter for a single-layer cutting process. This system combination provides an automatic workflow from the roll provision via the automatic, programmed roll change to the spreading of fabric or cutting. Target industry: Upholstered furniture industry,...

MATERIAL ROLL CHANGE AND STORING SYSTEM TRANSROLL-P The (manually) mobile fabric roll transport carriages are loaded and unloaded outside their operating sites (for example, in the fabric warehouse) and then installed and fixed in their parking slot positions in the system. They are equipped with holding brackets on both sides, with adjustable spacing between them as required by the diameter of the roll. The Tranroll-P is available with any number of transport carriages (subsequent expansion is also possible). The fabric roll feeder is lowered bearing the fabric roll, over the provider carriage...

MATERIAL ROLL CHANGE AND STORING SYSTEM TRANSROLL-P The fabric rolls are sensed by the fabric roll transport carriage via barcode according to their identification numbers and location numerals in the storage and called by the spreading machine or the cutter corresponding to the order sequence. Changing fabric rolls takes place automatically. While the laying machine lays material from a fabric roll or the cutter is cutting from the fabric roll, the fabric roll feeder returns the previous fabric roll to its storage location and brings the next fabric roll called to the feeding position. Changing...

MATERIAL ROLL CHANGE AND STORING SYSTEM Application for the Transroll-P, efficiency, savings: The Transroll- P makes it possible by combining a large number of individual work processes to achieve a continuous automatic process and contributes to considerable time savings by improving cost effectiveness. The more often the roll change and the smaller the number of cuts per rolls of material, the greater the time savings and the cost-effectiveness by using the transroll-P. Streamlining of workforce: Notably, the entire system with the components and the automatic process flow, can be operated...
