MBNT Automatic Butt Splicer

Automatic splicing for significantly increased productivity, greater quality control and reduced waste. The benefits of automatic splicing add up to significantly increased productivity, greater quality control and reduced waste. The MBNT applies these benefits to label converting, flexible packaging and narrow web applications. As with all Martin products, the MBNT Butt Splicer can be application-engineered to fit each process.

Design features of the MBNT include:

• Reliable rolling shear splice unit. This patented butt splice unit simultaneously severs the web and irons tape across the splice, producing a tight bond. The precision shear wheel and anvil mechanism guarantees a clean cut and no overlap. A second rotary nip applies tape to the backside of the splice.
• Inertia compensated tension control. The festoon features Martin’s inertia compensation technology for consistent, accurate tensioning of the web as it enters the process.
• Automatic splice initiation. The MBNT monitors the diameter of the running roll and automatically makes a roll change at a pre-set diameter.
