ICE Europe 2019 – Universal Converting Equipment stand

February 13, 2019 by Andrew Laws

The ICE Europe exhibition is a great opportunity to spend time with many of our customers. Exhibiting at ICE Europe also gives us a good platform for showcasing our slitting expertise. At the previous ICE Europe show (in 2017) our X6 Slitter Rewinder drew a lot of interest, so this year we will be exhibiting the very latest iteration of the X6 slitter.

The latest version of the Universal X6 shares the same heritage as every X6 we have built, and has some key developments that we are looking forward to discussing with delegates at ICE Europe.

The Universal X6 Slitter has been designed as a fast changeover machine with a range of options designed to reduce setup time, maximise running time and running speed and guarantee consistent quality. The automation systems ensure that the required setup is achieved from the first set of rolls as you know the tensions, slit positions and core positions are all correct. These machines are sold worldwide with a comprehensive diagnostic and support system. The machine at ICE 2019 incorporates features such as:

  • Fast loading unwind, including floor pick-up, with remote control
  • Constant geometry lay on rollers for precise control with tail clamps
  • Closed loop rewind tension control ensuring rolls are always wound at the correct tension
  • Easy operation with 22” operator interface and two additional touchscreens for fast operation
  • Automatic positioning of shear (knives and anvils) and razor blades
  • Automatic positioning of rewind cores
  • Automatic positioning of guider sensor
  • Additional slit tension zone
  • Extensive diagnostics
  • FREE internet and phone based support for the life of the machine

At ICE 2019, Universal will also be unveiling a range of additional automation systems to further reduce operator input required in setting and running the Universal X6 slitting machine. In addition to the X6, Universal will also be displaying its CCA automatic core cutter and will have information on its range of rewinding equipment, laser perforation and scribing systems, hot melt coating and laminating machines and roll handling trolleys.

Universal Converting Equipment will be exhibiting at ICE Europe 2017 and ICE USA 2017

March 3, 2016 by Andrew Laws

ICE 2017 Exhibition

Universal Converting Equipment at ICE USA

Universal Converting Equipment has exhibited at ICE Europe in Munich many times. ICE Europe 2015 was particularly successful, with interest in the company, and in-particular our Universal X6 slitter exceptionally high.

ICE Europe is a great opportunity to spend time with our long-term customers, as well as to meet potential new customers.

We are pleased to announce that in 2017 we will also be exhibiting at ICE USA in Florida. Interest in the Universal X6 in the American markets continues to grow exponentially. Exhibiting at ICE USA is a great opportunity to demonstrate the capabilities of our X6 slitter rewinder. Universal has recently announced the establishment of a service centre and showroom in the USA which will house a Universal X6 slitting machine and a range of other equipment.

We are proud of the technological advancements we continue to make with the Universal X6 Slitter Rewinder. Efficiency options like automatic knife and core positioning, closed loop rewind tension control and compact design make the X6 a popular machine for slitting all flexible materials. Universal offer free online and telephone support to customers to back up the comprehensive machine diagnostic systems. Universal are committed to providing customers excellent ongoing support wherever the machines are located worldwide.

In addition to the Universal X6 we will also be exhibiting a Universal CCA Automatic Core Cutter and a Hot Melt Adhesive Coating Station.

ICE Europe 2015 – our review

March 27, 2015 by Andrew Laws

Overwhelming interest in the X6 Slitter at ICE Europe 2015

This year’s International Converting Exhibition (ICE) in Munich appeared to be the best-attended ICE exhibition to date, both in terms of delegates and exhibitors. Here at Universal Converting Equipment, we decided to book a larger stand, and to take more machinery than in previous years. This was a decision that paid off. The two main machines on the stand were both sold with other orders placed at the exhibition.

We were overwhelmed by the level of interest in our Universal X6 Slitter. The machine we took was configured to showcase the most popular options, as chosen by our customers. The X6 was loaded with a BOPP jumbo roll and features like automatic knife setting proved popular with the large crowds who gathered to watch the regular demonstrations. Despite having eight salespeople on the stand, there were times when everyone was busy and we could not speak to all the people coming onto the stand.

In addition to the slitter rewinder we also exhibited a hot melt adhesive coating station. There were a number of other hot melt system suppliers at ICE, but several delegates mentioned to us that we appeared to the be the only exhibitor who could provide the coating equipment (heads, hoses and tanks) in addition to designing and building the control systems and complete machines.

The Universal CCA Automatic Core Cutter on our stand generated a lot of enquiries, as did the RT2 roll handling trolley. One customer was so impressed with the Automatic Core Cutter that he bought one on the spot, just a short while after signing on the dotted line for the Universal X6 slitter also on the stand.

ICE Europe is well-established as a great opportunity to network with industry colleagues, and this proved to us yet again how substantially important the Universal X6 is for converters of flexible packaging, as well as for companies slitting papers, label stock and hot stamping foils.

ICE Europe 2015Universal Converting Equipment will be exhibiting at ICE Europe 2015 in
hall A6, stand 523.

The ‘star’ of the stand will be the Universal X6 Slitter Rewinder, a high performance slitter developed primarily for flexible packaging, but proving itself just as efficient and fast when processing a wide range of materials including hot stamping foils and aluminium foils. This popular machine can be easily integrated with laser perforation equipment and high-speed vision inspection systems.

Also on the stand will be an automatic core cutter and examples of hot melt adhesive coating and laminating equipment.

Staff on the stand will include Universal Converting Equipment’s Technical Director and new Sales Executive Mike Wilkinson, who has had many years experience in the converting industry.
