This 80” x 60” Diameter Valmet 2-Drum Surface Winder is a high-speed paper and board converting machine engineered for precision roll winding at speeds up to 6,000 feet per minute (FPM). Originally installed in 1989 as a Model KL-200 salvage winder, the unit has been maintained in running condition and was previously utilized in an idle paper mill environment.
Designed for efficient reel building and consistent web tension control, this Used Valmet surface winder is ideal for mills, converters, and paper recycling facilities seeking a cost-effective secondary winding solution without extended OEM lead times.
With a robust mechanical structure and integrated Siemens PLC controls, this second-hand machine offers dependable performance for facilities handling high-volume paper grades, linerboard, specialty paper, and related web materials.
What Is a 2-Drum Surface Winder?
A 2-drum surface winder is a winding system where the roll is supported and driven by two rotating bed rolls. This configuration allows:
- High-speed roll building up to 6,000 FPM
- Consistent web tension control (3 PLI on this unit)
- Improved roll density and uniformity
- Stable winding for lightweight to medium paper grades
- Reduced core crushing compared to single-drum systems
Surface winders are widely used in pulp & paper mills and converting plants for finishing master rolls into saleable or downstream processing rolls.
