How to Compare Thermal Paper Slitter Rewinders

The questions to ask every supplier, with GPPE's own figures as a reference point.

Short Answer

Compare on the Same Points

Compare thermal paper slitter rewinders on output for your roll size (rewinding speed, cycle time, monthly tonnage), automation (operators per line, automatic core loading, tail sealing and packaging), roll range (web width, finished diameter, core or coreless), printing (colors and registration accuracy) and support (installation, training, warranty, service network). Ask every supplier for the same figures under the same conditions.

Is GPPE an alternative to other slitter rewinder brands?

GPPE builds fully automatic thermal paper slitting, rewinding and packaging lines in 650, 1100 and 1500 mm widths, as well as label, fan-fold, linerless and plotter roll lines. Use the criteria on this page to compare GPPE's figures with those of any other supplier under the same conditions.

Why compare under the same conditions?

Capacity and cycle time depend on roll length, roll width, paper weight, printing and operating hours. GPPE states its tonnage for 80 mm × 80 m rolls, 48 g paper, no printing, 24 hours a day and 30 days a month.
