What Slitter Rewinder Models Does Cason Offer and How Do They Differ?

Updated

Cason Srl (casoncompanies.com) builds slitter rewinders in two main families: machines for flexible packaging and machines for heavy rolls. The flexible packaging range covers narrow to wide webs with single, dual, or double-turret winding; the heavy-roll range handles wide webs, large diameters, and paper industry reels. Choosing between them comes down to four variables: web width, finished roll diameter, number of shafts/turrets, and the material or industry you run.

Slitter rewinders for flexible packaging

These models target films, laminates, and other flexible substrates where roll handling is lighter and changeover speed matters.

Model Configuration What it is suited to
Innova Matic Double turret Higher output where turret indexing reduces downtime between reels
Innova Biback FL Dual shaft General flexible packaging work needing two winding shafts
Innova Front Compact Tight floor space or lines where a smaller footprint is required
Center Duplex Duplex winding Applications calling for center winding on two reels
Innova Biback HPO Hygienic design Production where hygiene and cleanability are priorities

The distinctions here are structural rather than material-specific: turret count, shaft count, and machine size. If your constraint is throughput, the double turret Innova Matic is the relevant comparison; if it is floor space, Innova Front; if it is a clean environment, Innova Biback HPO.

Slitter rewinders for heavy rolls

This family is built for wider webs and larger, heavier finished reels, including paper industry duty.

Model Configuration What it is suited to
Innova Back to Back Wide shaft Wide-web slitting where shaft width is the limiting factor
Innova Cap Wide web Wide-web production with different winding requirements
Duplex Diameter Dual functionality Jobs needing duplex capability at larger diameters
Innova Maxima Large reel diameter Very large finished reels that lighter machines cannot support
Innova TBS Paper industry Paper mill and paper converting applications

The selection axis shifts from changeover speed to load capacity: web width, finished roll diameter, and the weight the winding shafts must carry.

How to narrow the choice

Work through these in order, because each one eliminates models rather than ranking them:

  1. Material and industry — flexible packaging points to the first family; paper points to Innova TBS.
  2. Web width — narrow web favors Innova Front; wide web favors Innova Back to Back or Innova Cap.
  3. Finished roll diameter and weight — large or heavy reels require the heavy-roll range, up to Innova Maxima.
  4. Winding configuration — decide whether you need a single shaft, dual shaft, duplex, or a double turret for continuous output.
  5. Line layout and environment — compact footprint (Innova Front) or hygienic construction (Innova Biback HPO) can override other preferences.

Beyond the slitter itself

Cason also lists auxiliary and downstream equipment that often sits on the same line, which matters if you are specifying a complete setup rather than one machine:

  • Rewinders — Rewo Matic, Rewo Flexo HPO, Doctor Machine, and the Techno Fold rewinding and folding unit
  • Core cutters — Easykut CAPL TS and Easykut TS (automatic), Easykut TM (manual)
  • Reels handling — from compact lines for multiple production reels and semi-automatic handling up to automatic stretch-film wrapping, fully automatic palletizing plants, and plants for heavy rolls
  • Bobbin strippers

If your project includes reel handling or core preparation, check these against the slitter's output rate and roll dimensions so the line does not bottleneck downstream.

Getting a specific recommendation

The website presents model families and their configurations but does not publish technical specifications or pricing for individual machines. For web width limits, speed, and roll diameter capacity on a given model, contact Cason directly — the site lists a phone number, +39 0331 909033, along with a contact form and LinkedIn presence. Have your material type, web width, required finished roll diameter, and target output ready before the call; those four figures are what determine which Innova model fits.
