MACHINERY
Excellence in Converting the Widest Range of Materials
IMS Technologies will be among the exhibitors of ICE Europe 2022 at Hall A6 Booth 244 . The Group will be present with its brands Goebel IMS , well-known for its wide range of slitter rewinders , un- and rewinders , Laem IMS , specialized in slitting and winding machinery for the converting and flexible packaging industries , and Rotomac , the global leader in the production of rewinding as well as packaging and accessory machinery for food wrapping . At the Munich trade fair centre Laem IMS will showcase Riboslit machine , its compact slitter rewinder for the flexible packaging industry . With its innovative and ergonomic layout , the re-designed operator-friendly software and HMI , the Riboslit can process at high speed
Energy Efficiency for Lower Consumption
The Extraslit fully electric slitter rewinder for all film substrates
mono and bi-oriented films , laminates and paper . Among the other highlights , IMS Technologies is pleased to present the new Extraslit , the fully electric slitter rewinder for all film substrates . The machine works fully electrical , without any hydraulic functions , thus allowing the highest efficiency and top quality of the finished reels . Thanks to the modular machine concept customers can configure the slitter rewinder according to their specific needs and requirements . The Group will also promote its unparalleled and comprehensive portfolio , including the best-selling machine for paper Rapid D1 , the dual-turret slitter rewinder with automatic end-of-line TR 4 in the flexible packaging field , the innovative automatic rewinding machines of the Icebreaker series and much more . Furthermore , visitors will have the possibility to try IMS Technologies ’ digital services , such as Maia - Machine Artificial Intelligence Application - the innovative industrial IoT platform developed to meet the customers ’ needs in the Industry 4.0 era . The cloud-based system enables users to collect data from machines , visualize them through easy dashboards , make analysis to detect long-term trends , facilitate maintenance and provide several suggestions to optimize operations , enhance efficiency and product quality . As one of the world ’ s leading manufacturers for slitting and winding machinery , IMS Technologies has decades of experience and know-how when it comes to machine life cycles and service requirements . Thanks to new , sophisticated technologies , innovative services and immediate worldwide support via remote assistance systems or virtual reality with smart glasses can be provided . The group ’ s comprehensive post-sales services include spare parts , field service , inspections , a real-time helpdesk , training , retrofit and upgrade as well as relocation and preventive maintenance . Finally , as an exclusive preview for ICE Europe , the brand new Customer Area will be launched : an environment where customers can monitor orders ’ status and delivery times , track repairs or go directly to the e-commerce platform for quick spare-parts purchase .
The rise in energy prices that has affected individuals and companies is unfortunately a very topical issue : the tariff increases for electricity and gas in recent times have been a real sting . The universal question is how to reduce consumption , especially in the industrial sector . For years , Gefit has been designing and manufacturing full Electric assembly machines for various industries , including food , cosmetics , home care , automotive , pharmaceutical and healthcare .
A Gefit machine in action Always looking for innovative solutions , Gefit focuses on the use of electrical and electronic components in its machines , limiting the pneumatic ones , with the aim of obtaining high energy efficiency and low consumption operation , so as to reduce the incidence of the increases in company costs , as well as the environmental impact . Gefit does this by following different paths for a more complete approach , using energy-saving pneumatic systems in all parts of the machine where there is a high air consumption ( air jets or vacuum generation systems ). This allows for savings in compressed air consumption of up to 50 %. From an electrical point of view , the extensive use of brushless motors ( that are very efficient compared to other kinds of motors ) allows the use of interconnected control systems , in order to balance the energy involved between different parts of the machine : the braking motors help in feeding the accelerating motors . All the machines produced by Gefit are equipped with energy consumption measurement systems that can be viewed directly from the man-machine interface . These provide not only quantitative but also qualitative data ( such as harmonic analysis or distortions ).
