A producer of roofing material that uses an offline slitter for roofing paper was concerned with their old OEM knife holders which were producing an inconsistent cut quality due to the holders creating vibration at the cut point from instability.

A producer of 200Ib specialty paper approached Double E about concerns regarding the instability of their Tidland class III holders at the cut point.

Double E recently worked with a customer who was having inefficiency problems with one of their slitting sections. The company is a producer of technical, filter, and specialty papers that runs a variety of materials and setups for a wide range of customers.

A producer of laminates and performance films used for tents, banners, movie screens and pool liners approached Double E with a problem they were having.

Recently a producer of plastic netting for the construction and packaging industry approached Double E regarding their unwind system. The customer uses unwind stations to feed film into their knitting machines. These unwind stations were found to be very inefficient due to the time it took to load and unload the rolls.

Double E recently helped one of the world's largest commercial printing companies meet a new slitting requirement for one of its clients. The printer uses a Xeikon digital web press for special projects that run an 80 Ib., 20" wide web material at a speed of 40 feet per minute. The press did not have any slitting capabilities, but the new project required the material to be slit into two 9.5" sections.

Double E has always taken pride in applying its experience and expertise to help customer's upgrade their existing converting machine to perform more efficiently and provide a higher level of safety for their operators.

Recently the Double E Company worked with a customer that converts products for the transportation industry. The customer had a laser cutting machine that pulls material off of an unwind roll using mechanical grippers and stepper motors. Unfortunately, a new material being used during the converting process was very stiff with a high tension. The laser cutting machine was found not strong enough to pull the material off of the roll which slowed production down.
