Upper and Lower Rewind Model Instructions:
You may configure the take up mandrels in many ways. The instructions below illustrate the
recommended method assuming a two column cut wrapped onto two separate rolls on the
upper take up mandrel with the edge waste trimmed and rolling over the lower take up mandrel.
Edge Waste over Lower Take Up (Recommended). This method is recommended if edge trim
is required. It does not require additional guides or a vacuum system.
Upper Take Up
Follow these instructions to use the method above:
1. Manually turn back the take up mandrel until the first good labels are visible.
2. Cut between the labels at the same point for each roll.
3. Place cores on the upper take up mandrel. Standard sizes are included. Additional
sizes can be purchased from Primera. The core width should equal the width of the
finished roll. It can be a little smaller in some cases depending on what type of
applicator will be used to apply the labels.
4. Attach the labels to the core using waste label or tape.
Note: Make sure the tension on both rolls is even. If they are not even and you have
already attached them to the core you can easily equalize them by loosening the core
engagement knob on the mandrel just a little. Now turn each core on the mandrel until
both label rolls are taut. Tighten the knob again.
5. Switch on the upper rewind.
6. Remove the waste label core from the lower take up mandrel.
7. Place a new core on the lower take up mandrel.
8. Switch OFF the Lower Rewind.
9. Feed the edge trim waste over the new core and into a waste basket.
