Daco Solutions has reported a positive reception from Labelexpo Europe 2023 visitors to its new SRV350 inspection slitter rewinder, which the company launched during the show.

SRV350 is a servo-driven inspection slitter rewinder that features an inspection system from Nikka, closed loop unwind tension control and a fully automatic slitting unit with servo-driven positioning of the knives. It runs at speeds of up to 300m/min with a 350mm web width and 800mm unwind diameter. An optional accumulator can be added, so any labels replaced on the web will pass back underneath the camera to ensure 100% inspection.

The new fully automatic slitting feature drew particular interest from many visitors to the Daco stand at Labelexpo Europe 2023. One customer in Poland is upgrading its three Daco PLR350V turret rewinders to include fully automatic slitting. The UK manufacturer also signed a deal on the show floor for the sale of a customised sheeting system to Wisconsin, US-based converter Kenco Label & Tag.

Daco Solutions managing director David Beynon said, ‘There was a very positive response to the new SRV350 inspection slitter rewinder – which is the highest-specification system in our slitter rewinder range. We received many enquiries and a few companies have said that they will order a machine in the coming weeks.’

The company’s sales manager, Mark Laurence, added, ‘Half of the leads we received during Labelexpo Europe were companies that we didn’t previously know. We also saw many more of our existing customers than usual. In the first two days of the show, eight of our top 10 customers had visited our stand.’
