Slitter rewinders, salvage winders, hot melt adhesive and converting machinery.

Universal Converting Equipment leads in the supply of converting equipment worldwide, including slitter rewinders, hot melt coaters, hot melt laminators, slitting machines and ancillary systems.

Universal Converting Equipment design, develop and build slitter rewinders, salvage rewinders, core cutters, hot melt adhesive coating and laminating systems and ancillary systems. We develop and build both the machinery and the control systems that manage the machinery so we can offer a high level of customisation and swift support.

Universal also offer a wide range of ancillary equipment for slitting machines and other converting machines. These include automatic core cutters, drive and control system upgrades, web guiding systems and differential winding shafts. We provide a complete service to the converting industry from supplying individual replacement parts through to supplying the latest process equipment.

Universal produces a range of hot melt adhesive coating and laminating equipment. Using our partnership with ITW Dynatec, we are able to offer the latest in high speed application technologies. Hot melt adhesive coaters are used widely in the manufacture of label stock, medical, security and non-woven products. Hot melt coating and laminating machines are compact, low energy systems compared to solvent and water based adhesive systems.

In addition to building slitter rewinders and converting machinery we also design and develop automation systems and control systems (and upgrades) for third party machinery. Our expertise and efficiency helps you minimise downtime, reduce job set-up lag and increase profits.

Minimised energy usage – ideas for efficient converting
All of our machines are designed to use a minimal amount of energy, and as a part of our sustainability program we have identified significant areas of energy wastage on winding machines. We use the latest efficiency 1 AC motors, the most up to date AC Vector Drives.  Wherever possible we use a motor on the unwind rather than a brake, the motor generates electricity which is used to power the rewind motor, rather than converting brake energy into heat. The net result is an extremely energy efficient winding machine.
