FilmMaster Winding System

The Faustel FilmMaster is a turretless, continuous web winding system that eliminates waste by allowing contact between the winding and lay-on rolls even during transfer to a new core. The cantilevered shaft with quick release guarantees simplified roll handling. A multi-motor, high performance servo drive system ensures accuracy and high-speed performance.

FilmMaster Winding System

FilmMaster Turretless Winder

The FilmMaster works with either an electrostatic or vacuum web transfer system, depending on the substrate. That, in combination with a supported helical knife, produces a clean cut and reliable transfer to the new core (PerfectStart). Used in tandem, the FilmMaster incorporating PerfectStart Transfer Technology allows the widest range of web materials to be processed with the largest window of tension on either high-speed or low-speed operations.
