What Reels Handling and Palletizing Solutions Does Cason Srl Offer?

Updated

Cason Srl's reels handling range covers six distinct configurations, from compact lines for multiple production reels to fully automatic plants for palletizing and heavy roll handling. The right choice depends on your automation target, reel weight and diameter, available floor space, and whether the reels come off a printing press or a slitter rewinder. Below is what each option is built for, followed by the conditions that separate them.

The six reels handling configurations

Solution What it does Typical fit
Compact line for multiple production reels Handles several production reels in a reduced footprint Plants with limited floor space that still need multi-reel output
Automatic line for wrapping reels in stretch film Wraps reels automatically in stretch film Finishing and dispatch areas where reels need protection before storage or shipping
Full automatic plant for reels palletizing Automates palletizing of reels end to end High-volume operations where manual palletizing is the bottleneck
Automatic plant for handling heavy rolls Moves and handles heavy rolls automatically Heavy-roll production where manual handling is unsafe or impractical
Semi-automatic reels handling Partly automated handling with operator involvement Sites stepping up from manual handling without committing to a full plant
Unloading and palletizing reels for printing machines Takes reels off printing machines and palletizes them Printing departments linking press output to downstream palletizing

How the levels differ in practice

The list is effectively a ladder of automation, and the differences show up in three places: how much operator intervention remains, how much reel weight and diameter the line is engineered for, and how much floor space the layout consumes.

  • Semi-automatic keeps an operator in the loop for part of the cycle. It suits sites that want to reduce manual lifting but are not ready for a full plant.
  • Compact lines trade scale for footprint. They handle multiple production reels without demanding the space a full automatic plant needs.
  • Stretch film wrapping is a dedicated function rather than a handling level — it protects reels after production and before storage or shipment.
  • Full automatic palletizing removes the manual palletizing step entirely, which matters when output volume makes manual stacking the constraint.
  • Heavy roll plants are defined by the load, not the volume. The engineering priority is safe, automatic movement of rolls that are too heavy for manual handling.
  • Printing machine unloading and palletizing is a scenario-specific configuration: it connects press output directly to a palletizing stage.

What to check before choosing

Because Cason presents these as separate configurations rather than one configurable platform, the selection criteria are:

  1. Reel weight and diameter — heavy rolls point to the dedicated heavy-roll plant; standard production reels fit the compact or palletizing lines.
  2. Required automation level — decide whether you need semi-automatic assistance or a fully automatic plant.
  3. Upstream machine — if reels come off a printing machine, the unloading-and-palletizing configuration is the direct match.
  4. Floor space — compact lines exist precisely for constrained layouts.
  5. Downstream need — if reels must be protected before shipping, the stretch film wrapping line is the relevant addition.

Cason's handling range sits alongside its core slitter rewinder business and its auxiliary machines, which include rewinders (Rewo Matic, Rewo Flexo HPO, Techno Fold, Rewinder Doctor Machine) and core cutters (Easykut CAPL TS, Easykut TS, Easykut TM). Bobbin strippers are listed as a separate category. If your question is about what happens to the reel after slitting or rewinding, the reels handling section is where the answer sits; if it is about the slitting itself, the slitter rewinder range is the starting point.
