Leaf Shaft: III-Way, IV–Way, V-Way Unwinds - Rewinds

Economical lug type as well as leaf types are available, to fit common popular machines.Flange mount as shown or other cantilever configurations made to order, such as the removable pin driveshaft below. Lug type Air Shafts for 1/2” and upcores to retrofit popular narrow web machines. Core holders for standard and special machines can be made to order.

Successful roll control, elimination of thin wall core deformation and proven performance through years of satisfied customers all testify to internal element leaf-style shafts. Designed for a wide range of converting applications, these shafts are the best choice when using thin cores in your web process. The 360º radial expanding grip along the entire leaf face delivers more winding surface and allows for the winding of single or multiple rolls, with or without cores.

With full length external leaves, these shafts are particularly suited for delicate materials. Leaf Shafts are built tough, with bodies constructed of standard steel, alloy steel or aluminum, and internal tubes made of durable, hard-wearing rubber.

Simple modular construction and standardized components mean quick off-the-shelf spares service and easy in-plant maintenance when necessary.

Leaf-Style design delivers more winding surface, and are best for the elimination of thin wall core deformation.
