Alu Foil SepaSlit® Separator

The OPTIFOIL separator consists essentially of a coil deposit, a cart, an unwinding unit, a material threading device, a center unit with slitting device (razor-blade and/or shear-cut), a separation device and welding device, two winders and a finished roll handling unit. Each Separator features a very short material transport path.

A variety of useful automation and process engineering options allows the system to be easily adapted to individual customer requirements. Examples of this include various empty spool or finished roll handling systems that allow, for example, a connection to an unguided coil transport system. All separators can be equipped with a pinhole detector.

• Speeds: up to 1,500 m/min
• Foil thicknesses: 2 x 4.5 µm - 2 x 70 µm
• Rewinding diameters: up to 1,200 mm
• Coil weights: up to 6,000 kg

• Slitting section with highly-precisely adjustable four-axis razor blade holders
• Hydro pneumatic, weight-balanced pressure system with innovative double diaphragm cylinder
• Inline detection system for even finest holes (PHD) in combination with a comprehensive quality reporting to the final customer
• Maintenance friendly machine enclosure 
• Doctoring by winding shaft reception at the unwinder
• Functional, light-weight housing with integrated fully automatic material handling

Achenbach Separators separate and slit the doubled aluminium foil for any downstream processing such as coating, laminating, printing for end products such as:

• Capacitor foil
• Pharma foil
• Converter foil
• Battery foil

 The cloud-based platform Achenbach OPTILINK® opens the way to the overall system networking of the various value creation stages and therefore to the optimization of the entire production process. 

As a system provider, Achenbach follows an integrative approach by offering installation-wide solutions that incorporate multiple individual components. This single source concept lets us design a production process that is optimally tailored to your needs, from rolling to slitting to further processing.
