It has been confirmed theoretically and experimentally that a center winding reel is effective to wind larger diameter paper roll without wrikle or burst of the sheet. MHI products two types center winding reels and these names are TNT reel and TNT-C reel.
The TNT reel has the basic concept that is even and steady for paper winding. During operation, the spool moves only on the level rail without the transfers of torque and nip. The first domestic TNT reel has been installed to wind the super calendered paper and is operating successfully.
The TNT-C reel has the structure of conventional surface reel added primary and secondary center wind equipment. Therefore a conventional reel can be rebuild easily to the TNT-C reel.
The TNT-C reels in Japan are operating well and winding larger diameter paper roll than conventional reel.
