 ASHE Automation Drives Company Expansion ASHE Automation Drives Company Expansion
ASHE Converting Equipment are currently undergoing a 12,000 sq./ft. expansion at their headquarters in Ipswich, UK.
ASHE Converting Equipment are currently undergoing a 12,000 sq./ft. expansion at their headquarters in Ipswich, UK. The additional floor space will lead to further capacity for its various models of slitter rewinders and also give a further expansion to its existing machining centre.
Presently, up to 90% of machine parts are manufactured in house for certain standard models and further development in this area will ensure that over 1100 machines can be fully supported, without third party manufacturers making items 'obsolete'.
Automation enhancements within their machinery range have proved to be extremely popular. Keeping machine stoppages to a minimum is essential, and features are currently in place to keep this time as short as possible.
On the Sapphire S2 series of duplex and duplex turret slitter rewinders, the automatic knife positioning system can position up to 20 rotary shear knives (top and bottom) within 120 seconds. If this is done manually, then this could take up to 10 minutes, which is a saving of 8 minutes. Throughout the life of the machine, this represents a significant saving as the machine operator can be fulfilling other tasks whilst the machine sets itself. The machine downtime is even lower if this is incorporated with automated rewind core positioning system.
A new feature the company have recently developed is a duplex turret slitter rewinder with 'dual unwinds'. Another time consuming factor on any slitter rewinder, is the loading of the master roll. If a new master roll can be loaded whilst the machine is running then the amount of time the machine will be stopped can be reduced, giving the machine more productivity and higher output.
The Diamond model has proved to be a popular machine within the ASHE range, due its small footprint and the price tag associated with it. ASHE have now taken this formula and expanded the machine into an automatic Turret Slitter Rewinder, which eliminates the downtime in offloading finished rolls and having to re-core rewind shafts. The machine has also been designed to be modular, allowing for separate unwinds so other associated equipment, such as perforation and embossing equipment, can be placed inline with the machine.
The innovative technology along with the experience in slitting and rewinding most flexible substrates has allowed the company to offer its customers the best solutions for quality and productivity.
ASHE Converting Equipment, an independent company based in Ipswich UK has been in operation for over 30 years. We specialise in the manufacture of the highest quality slitting and rewinding machinery, including customised applications, for the film, paper and allied web industries worldwide.
With our highly qualified workforce, we pride ourselves in offering a high level of technical expertise, this is reflected in the standard of technology that goes into all our machines. With mechanical and software engineers working together we are able to continually develop an extensive range of machinery and also keep at the forefront of technology.
We have a full engineering and manufacturing facility where we produce 75% of the machines in-house. Along with our electronics division we are able to offer a full back up service to customers wherever they are in the world.
In our early years we gained vital experience and expertise in developing and manufacturing electronic drives and motor control systems. This included a range of DC drives, AC inverters and servo drives. The design and manufacture of customised slitting and rewinding machines was a natural progression as the demand for solutions to specialised customer needs grew
| 100% Label Inspection System With Mechanical and Software Engineers working together, Ashe has designed a unique machine to provide inspection and control of printed labels or printed web in the Pharmaceutical, Food or Flexible Packaging Industry. | 
| Opal Inline-Offline Turrets Available inline with a press or a separate offline unit the Opal turret meets the demands of high production outputs with consistent quality. | 
| Primary Machines This individual arm machine has been designed to improve the winding quality at high speeds, of all film and flexible packaging, quality papers, aluminiums and heavy weight products.
The tension range will cover products from 11 micron polyolyfins, up to 300gsm board.
Independent individual arm centre surface is the winding principle. With ultra smooth linear arm movement horizontally away from the surface drums, straight line contact with the drum is maintained throughout the diameter build up.
| 
| Secondary Machinery The Sapphire Duplex Slitter Rewinder is a universal machine for many Converters worldwide.
A combination of its standard unique features, attention to detail and quality of workmanship ensures the work produced is of the highest standard and throughput.
