Tail Feeding

Portfolio of Tail Feeding Concepts for fully automated threading and cutting devices

They ensure the highest level of safety for operating personnel, reliable threading processes and short threading times. We engineer and supply a complete line of tail threading devices for all paper machine sections, spanning every paper grade and machine configuration. These threading devices are perfect for new machines or to improve the efficiency and safety of an existing one, with our skilled engineers available to perform dedicated audits.

Automatic tail threading devices

A range of fully automated tail threading devices designed for smooth transfers within the press section or from the press to the dryer. Drawing on our expertise, we developed TT Transfer specifically to master the transition between the press and dryer sections.

Key Features:

  • TT AirShooter: Adjustable blowing nozzles for tail threading from press to dryer
  • TT AirDoc: Mini doctor with integrated blower for passage from Fourdrinier to press or within the press

Traditional rope systems and state-of-art ropeless systems

Our range includes both traditional rope systems and state-of-the-art ropeless technology. Each product features a modular design and flexibility to meet the requirements of both new machines and rebuilds across all machine sections.

Key Features:

  • TT AirTail: ropeless tail threading system through the dryer section
  • TT RopeTail: a proven traditional rope system
  • TT Ripper: high-precision tail-severing device

Key components

The most efficient threading solution for the press and drying sections

TT Transfer is designed for reliable and safe tail threading in the press section, ahead of size presses, coating stations, calenders, and end sections; including fully ropeless configurations. This conveyor system features a dedicated internal vacuum zone that stabilizes the tail and precisely controls its movement, ensuring a consistent and secure transfer into the rope nip or onto the subsequent conveyor.

Key Features

  • Safe operation thanks to fully automated handling system
  • Increased runnability and productivity thanks to faster threading times
  • Pre-set system configurations for a wide range of grades and machine speeds
