Mobile wide-web paper reel unwinder: an innovative solution by TCM SAS

At Thomas Constructions Mécaniques – TCM SAS, we specialize in the design, manufacture and commissioning of special machines for the industrial sector. Every project is unique, and our design office works closely with our customers to develop solutions tailored to their specific needs.

A customized solution for the paper industry

Our company was commissioned to design a mobile wide-web unwinder for a major player in the paper converting industry, that could be used to recycle non-conforming paper reels. This system unwinds paper reels directly into a pulper, transforming this unusable material into a reusable resource.

This unit demonstrates our commitment to providing efficient, reliable and sustainable industrial solutions, that precisely meet our customers’ production requirements.

Technical features of the TCM SAS mobile unwinder

  • Constant unwinding speed: up to 300 m/min.
  • Speed adjustment range: from 0 to 300 m/min.
  • Capacity: handles reels of up to 4,500 kg and from 2,000 to 3,350 mm wide.
  • Integrated guidance system: optimal feeding of paper to the pulper.
  • Adaptable mandrels:  Ø76.5 mm, Ø100 mm and Ø150.2 mm for maximum compatibility.
