ABSTRACT
Every web manufacturer and converter is faced with the challenge of winding quality rolls of
their high quality products. This paper provides definition of a quality roll of paper, film or
nonwoven material. The reader is made aware of the importance of the control of in-woundtension to consistently produce good quality rolls. It discusses the winding principles used on
all winders to control in-wound tension or roll hardness. Then the basic types of center,surface and combination center/surface winders will be compared with the advantages anddisadvantages of each. After the discussion of how roll hardness is achieved, methods of
measuring roll hardness are presented. Finally, roll defects to avoid in producing quality rolls
of web materials will be listed and the book "Roll and Web Defect Terminology" will bebrought to the audience's attention for them to learn more about the causes and cures of
common roll and web defects.
NOTE- This paper deals primarily with the winding of paper and nonwoven web materials.Please refer to the article The Challenges of Winding Flexible Packing Films which can be
found at www.bc-egan.comunder Converting Systems/Company Information/Publications
and Tech Documents or www.bc-egan.com/public_html/Company/publications.html.
INTRODUCTION
If all web materials were perfect, then the ability to produce perfect rolls of these productswouldnt be much of a challenge. Unfortunately due to the natural variation in resins and
additives and non-uniformities of the film formation processes, there is no such animal as a
perfect web. The winding operations challenge is to wind webs with slight imperfections
being sure that these slight imperfections do not stand out in appearance and are notamplified during the winding process. Then it is the responsibility of the winder operator to
make sure that the winding process does not produce additional variations in the product
quality. The ultimate challenge is to wind a web product with slight imperfections andproduce quality rolls that will run on your customers process without problems and produce
high quality products for their customers.

DEFINITION OF A QUALITY ROLL
If the challenge is to wind quality rolls, then the first task is to define our customers
definitions of good quality. A baker will tell you that in order to please their customers, they
must produce rolls that are of the right shape, the right size, the right consistency not toohard and not too soft, they must look good no blemishes or visual defects, and they must
have a good aroma. A film product customer wants rolls of film that are:
The right shape
The right sizeThe right consistency
Must look good
Aroma?
- Round and proper width
- Right diameter or length- Proper roll density not too hard or soft
- No blemished or visual defects
- Well, start shipping your customers badrolls of film and they are going to raise
a stink!!!
Your customers demand a roll that will run without problems. Most will tell you that, if aroll of material looks and feels good, then it will run without problems. It is a well known
fact that you cant improve the quality of paper or other products on the slitter winder. Still,
it is every winder operators job to insure that the web defects are not amplified or madeworse during the slitting and rewinding operation. The purpose of this paper will be to
discuss the factors that go into the consistent production of top quality rolls off a slitting and
rewinding operation. This article will be centered on roll hardness and visual defects andhow they can be controlled for consistently rewinding good rolls. (Smith, 2001)
ROLL HARDNESS
Roll density or hardness is probably the most important factor in determining the difference
between a good and bad roll. Rolls that are wound too soft will have slippage of the layers
when they are unwound at higher tensions, commonly know as cinching. This layerslippage will cause roll defects such as starring and/or telescoping unless they are unwound
at very light tensions. Rolls that are wound too soft can also go out of round while winding
or will go out of round when they are handled or stored. The roundness of rolls is very
important in your customers operation. When unwinding out of round rolls, each revolutionwill produce a tight and slack tension wave. These tension variations can distort the web and
cause register variations in the process. The only way to minimize the affect of these tension
variations is to run the operation at a much lower speed, which greatly affects the productionrates.
Rolls that are wound too tight will also cause problems. Tightly wound rolls contain highinwound tension. These rolls can split open like a watermelon when dropped or squeezed by
a roll handling truck. The web will stretch and deform as these stresses are relieved as the
roll cures during storage. If this inwound tension becomes too high, bursts can occur insidethe wound roll. (See Photo #1) These cross machine tension bursts are normally well hidden

and can not be detected until the roll is unwound. These bursts cause web breaks which
cause major production losses on your customers production lines.

Since there is no such thing as a perfect web, it is the responsibility of the winder operator tomake sure that these slight imperfections do not stand out in appearance and do not cause
their customers process problems. Rolls that are wound too tightly will exaggerate web
defects. No web is perfectly flat or the same thickness from one side to the other. Typicallywebs will have slight high and low areas in the cross machine profile where the web is
thicker or thinner. If the rolls are wound too hard then the web will stretch over these thickerareas causing bumps or ridges. (See Photo #2A) As the web is stretched over these ridges, it
deforms in these areas. This causes untensioned areas in the web, known as baggy areas,
when the roll is unwound. (See Photo #2B) There may also be moisture streaks where theweb is higher in moisture in localized areas across the web. These moisture bands will cause
web defects know as corrugations, or rope marks, in rolls which are wound too tight. (See
Photo #2C) Ridges and corrugations cause the customer process problems such as poorregistration on a printing line.
These slight defects will not be noticeable in a wound roll if sufficient air is wound into the
roll in the low or wet areas and the web is not stretched over the high areas. Still, the rollsmust be wound hard enough that they will be round and will stay that way during handling
and storage.
Some webs, either by their formation process or by their coating or web conditioning
process, have cross machine variations of thickness or moisture too severe to be wound
without exaggerating these defects. To overcome this, these webs are moved back and forth

before they are slit. This process, called oscillation, which randomizes these localized
defects across the wound rolls. On a slitter winder, the unwind is normally oscillated.Oscillation may be either a constant speed, stop and constant speed back or a sine-type wave
speed curve. What is important is that the oscillation speed is fast enough to randomize
defects and slow enough that it does not strain or wrinkle the web and that the rolls after they
have been slit are wound with straight edges. The rule of thumb for the maximum oscillationspeed is 1 per minute per 500 feet per minute winding speed. For best results, the
oscillation speed should vary proportional to the winding speed.

How to Achieve and Measure Roll Hardness
Now we know why roll hardness is important. Next lets discuss how to achieve and
measure roll hardness. As a roll of web material winds, tension builds inside the roll which
is known as inwound tension or residual stress. If these stresses become greater as the roll is
wound, then the inner wraps towards the core will loosen. This is what causes the rolls todish while winding or telescope when they are handled or when they are being unwound in
your customers production operation. To prevent this, the rolls want to be wound tight at
the core and then wound with less tightness as the roll builds in diameter as shown in Chart#1. The larger the finished rewind diameters, the more critical the roll hardness profile is.

Chart #1: Roll Hardness versus Diameter
Roll hardness is developed in different ways on different types of winders but the basicprinciples of how to build roll hardness are always the same. To remember these principles,
just remember that to consistently wind Dynamite Rolls you need T.N.T. (Seidel, 1987)
T ension - The Winding Web TensionN ip - The Nip of the Pressure Roll or Drum
T orque - From the Center Drive or Torque Drum
The three basic types of winders are:
1. Surface Winders2. Center Winders3. Center/Surface Winders
Each type of winder uses one of more of these T.N.T. winding principles to build wound roll
hardness. We will now describe each of these winder types and compare the advantages anddisadvantages of each.

SINGLE DRUM SURFACE WINDERS
The Single Drum Surface Winders are the simplest and least expensive type of winders. As
shown in Figure #1, these will use Web Tension and Nip. Because of the amount of wrapthat is normally around the driven winder drum, web tension is isolated from the winding
roll. On non-extensible products such as heavy board, web tension has little effect on roll
hardness. Basically, roll hardness is affected only by the control of the nip pressure. Onextensible products such as extensible films and nonwovens, roll hardness is controlledthrough both web tension and nip.
Figure #1: Surface Type Winder
The advantage of this type of surface winder is that the rolls weight does not affect theamount of nip load. The disadvantage is that the Single Drum Surface Winder has limited
control of roll density and must be a shafted operation. A single drum winder requires much
less horsepower than a center winder and is normally used on as a continuous type winder forheavier grade products and extensible nonwovens.
Two Drum Surface Winders
Two Drum Surface Winders are normally used for stop/start slitting and rewinding
operations and use all three principles for maximum control of roll hardness. See Figure #2.

Figure #2: Two Drum Surface Winders
This type of winder normally has sufficient wrap on the drum so the web tension has littleeffect on the roll hardness when winding non-extensible grades. Roll hardness and profileare achieved by programmed nip control of the rider roll pressure and programmed torque
control from the torque drum. Today, these winders are normally shaftless operations and
are high speed and very productive. The disadvantage is that this type of winder typicallybuilds hard rolls as the winding rolls weight produces the winding nip. This requires highrider roll pressure at the start which is relieved proportional to the winding rolls weight as it
winds. Programmed torque control is the most effective tool in controlling roll hardness
which also requires a hard nip to transmit the torque into the roll without slippage.
Two Drum Surface Winders are used as high speed slitter rewinders for light density grades
such as nonwovens or heavier paper, board or laminate grades that can tolerate being woundhard.
Single and Dual Drum surface winders are:
Best for winding hard rolls (i.e. protective films) Best utilization of space and horsepower Best for winding very large diameter rolls Best for minimizing waste during transfers Less expensive Less equipment Single & smaller winding drive

Pure Center Winders
Pure Center Winders use web tension or, when combined with a pressure roll, can use nip
and web tension to control roll hardness as shown below. Please note that on this type of
winder, torque produces web tension. See Figure #3.
Figure #3: Single Position Pure Center Type Winder
A Pure Center Winder may be single position or continuous operation turret winder andmay be a shafted or shaftless operation. (See Figure #4) Often this type of winder
provides flexibility of gap or contact winding to control amount of air being wound into
roll and roll hardness.

Pure Center Winders have the ability to wind softer rolls than a Single Drum Winder and
have better in-wound tension control. Still they only use one or two of the principles tocontrol roll hardness.
Pure Center Winders are normally used on lighter grades which are wound at lighter
tensions and to smaller roll diameters. They require much higher horsepower thanSurface Winders as the tension horsepower needs to be multiplied by the ratio of the
maximum speed at core to the maximum speed at full roll to obtain the horsepower
required at the full roll.
An advantage of center winding is that this process can wind softer rolls. This type of
winder on a continuous process line can provide quick indexing and fast cycle times. Thedisadvantage of center winding of film is the limitation of maximum roll diameter due to
the torque applied through the layers of web material. Also, center winders have a higher
probability of generating scrap during roll changes.
Pure center winders are: Best for winding soft rolls (i.e. web materials with gauge bands) Best for winding web materials with high tack Best for winding small diameter rolls Easily designed for dual direction winding Able to provide adhesiveless transfers
Center/Surface Winders
The Center/Surface type winders uses all three principles in controlling roll hardness and
may either be configured in a continuous turret type winder or a center/surface single shaftsimplex or dual shaft duplex type slitter winder. The surface drive produces the web
tension while the nip pressure of the pressure roll and the torque from the spindle driveproduces the roll hardness. See Figure #5.

Figure #5: Continuous Center/Surface Turret Winder
By programming these nips and torques, the desired roll hardness and profile can be
achieved. The nip can be controlled independent of the rolls weight. The disadvantage ofwinders of this type is the cost, complexity, & lower production due to the shafts required
when slitting and rewinding. See Figures #6A and 6B.

Measuring Roll Hardness
The setting and programming of the tension, nip and torque to produce the desired roll
hardness will vary depending on:
a) The type and design of the winder
b) The type of web material being woundc) Width of the rolls being woundd) The speed of the winding operation
Different web products and different applications for these products will dictate the roll
hardness desired. Once the desired roll hardness profile is determined, it needs to be
measured and then reproduced on a consistent basis. The measurement tools need to be handheld and available on the winder so an operator can check roll hardness being obtained and
make adjustments accordingly to insure that the roll hardness is within the acceptable range
for that product.
To measure the roll hardness across the outer surface of the roll, it is suggested that either aRhometer or a PAROtester be used. Both of these are impact based devices for measuring
relative roll hardness on a relative scale. The Rhometer is an instrument that measures thepeak deceleration of a small hammer as it strikes the outer surface of the roll. (See Photo #3)
The PAROtester is similar to the Schmidt hammer. The Schmidt Hammer was developed for
concrete hardness testing and has been borrowed for use of roll hardness testing. ThePAROtester has been developed specifically for evaluation of hardness of rolled-up paper,
foils and films. The PAROtester is considerably more sensitive, has less impact energy and is
less operator dependant due to its more defined direction of impact then the Schmidthammer. (See Photo #4)

A Smith meter is an instrument that can be used to measure the hardness profile from the
core to the outer wraps of the roll. The Smith meter measures the penetration of a smallneedle as it is inserted in the wraps of the web along the rolls sides. (See Photo #5)
With the computerized data acquisition systems now available such as the Black Clawson
AccuWind systems, it is now possible to calculate the Roll Density Factor (RDF) and plot therelative roll density from core to full roll as the roll winds. These systems compare the actual
winding rolls diameter with the theoretical diameter and plot the ratio as a function of the
winding rolls diameter. The RDF is displayed to the operator on the Operator InterfaceTerminal (OIT) at the winder as shown in Photo #6.
The operator needs to have a means to measure the roll hardness from both core to full rolland across the roll available on the winder.

ROLL DEFECTS
So far, we have concentrated on the importance of roll hardness and how it is produced and
measured. We have discussed roll defects that are caused by roll hardness which are:
Out of Round Rolls
Internal Web Bursts Ridges
Baggy Paper
Corrugations or Rope Marks
Now lets turn to other visual defects that need to be avoided in order to consistently wind
good rolls. These defects include:

Poor Starts
Core Offsets
Splices
Offsets and Interweaving
Dished and Telescoped Rolls
Starred Rolls Trim Wound In Rolls
Slitter Rings
Other Slitter Defects such as:Excessive Slitter Dust
Nicked Blades
Scalloped Edges
High Edges
Poor Starts
Poor starts are defined when there are
obvious differences in appearance betweenthe paper near the core and the remainder of
the roll. See Photo #7.
Causes of Poor Starts:a) Starting to wind with slack in the webb) Web wrinkling at the start of the windc) Poor quality coresd) Loose winding near the core
Poor Start Remedies:
a) Tighten web before fastening to coreb) Start with web straight on cores
Photo #7: Poor Startc) Use good quality, properly stored cores
d) Start with proper tension, nip and/or
torque
Core Offsets
Core offsets is defined when the coresextend inside or out of the sides of the rolls.
See Photo #8.
Causes of Core Defects:a) Cores not aligned with slit websb) Web not securely fastened to the core
Core Slips Remedies:
a) Be sure cores are aligned with slitters
b) Securely retain cores and fasten webs securely tothe cores

Splices
Splices in a roll are necessary
evils. Splices are normally due to
web breaks or cutting out
defective material in a parent roll.Most customers will allow up to 3
splices in a roll of wound material
but will not allow rolls withsplices near the core or near the
full roll. They also insist that
splices be properly made andproperly marked. Bad rolls
contain numerous splices or
poorly made splices or containunmarked splices. See Photo #9.
Causes of Splices:
a) Poor product in parent roll
Photo #9: Poor Spliceb) Web breaks
Splice Remedies:a) Reduce bad material in parent roll to a minimumb) Determine if web breaks are due to defects in material or winder and correct problem
Offsets and Interweaving
Offsets are defined as an abrupt change in the
position of the edge of the web.
Causes of offsets:
a) Shifts in the core shaft or coresb) Oscillation speed too fastc) Quick change in web tensiond) Quick change in nip loade) Web slippage inside of the roll
Offset Remedies:a) Be sure that core shaft and cores are
securely retained
b) Check oscillation speed relative to webspeed or binding in oscillation mechanism
Photo #10: Web Offsetsc) Correct abrupt changes in speed or tensiond) Check for binding or other reasons for abrupt changes in nip loade) Do not increase Tension, Nip or Torque during the winding operation

Interweaving is often caused by severe offsets in the rolls that are wound side by side on awinder. In addition to the above causes, interweaving may also be caused by improper
spreader device adjustment, too low of winding tension, or uneven cross machine web
tension.
Dished and Telescoped Rolls
Dished rolls are defined as rolls which
are wound with progressive edge
misalignment that may be convex orconcave. Dished rolls are ones that this
curvature occurs while the rolls are
winding. Telescoped rolls are rolls thatthis curvature occurs while handling or
unwinding the rolls of web material. See
Photo #11.
Causes of Roll Dishing:
a) Cores that are not held stationaryduring winding
b) Winding soft and then windingtighter at the outer wraps
c) Misalignment causing the web toenter the winding roll non-parallel to
the core axisPhoto #11: Dished Roll
Remedies of Winding Dished Rolls:a) Make sure cores are firmly retained during windingb) Achieve a good, hard start at the corec) Insure the roll hardness does not increase during windingd) Check for machine misalignment
Causes of Roll Telescoping:a) Soft start of windingb) Winding a soft rollc) Unwinding at higher tension than the roll was wound
Remedies of Roll Telescoping:a) Wind tighter rolls with a good, hard start and decreasing roll hardnessb) Unwind with less tension

Starred Rolls
Starred rolls are defined as rolls in
which the ends have a star pattern due
to the shifting of the layers of web in
localized bands starting at or near thecore and continuing out towards the
outer wraps. These localized shifts
cause a star pattern which issymmetrical but frequently one or
more rays of the star are missing. See
Photo #12.
Causes of Starred Rolls:
a) Winding Tight wraps after a rollhas been loosely wound
b) Thin web thickness on the end of aroll causing a soft edge
c) Severe impact of a wound rollPhoto #12: Starred Roll
Remedies of Starred Rolls:
a) Wind tight at the start and then gradually soften roll hardness as diameter increasesb) Keep cross caliper variation to a minimumc) Oscillate before slittingd) Provide for proper handling and transporting of rolls
Trim Wound in Rolls
Trim wound in rolls is caused when the
winder trim is not collected into the trimremoval system and follows the web
into the winding roll. See Photo #13.
Causes of Trim Wound In Rolls:
a) Insufficient air velocity at trimnozzle
b) Turbulent air flow in the trim
removal systemc) Web offsets in parent roll greater
than trim width
Photo #13: Trim Wound in Roll
Remedies of Trim Wound In Rolls:
a) Check to insure the air velocity at intake of trim removal system is greater than windingspeed
17

8/13/2019 Art of Winding - 03.02.11
18/21
b) Check to insure laminator air flow at trim nozzlesc) Edge guide unwinding roll or be sure that offsets are not greater than trim width
Slitter Rings
Slitter rings are defined as concentric
ring patterns on the edges of the roll thatgive the roll edge the appearance of a
target. This defect is very common on
winders with mandrel mounted bottomknives after the mandrel has been
reground on or more times. See Photo
#14.
Causes of Slitter Rings:
a) Excessive slitter run outb) Wobble of bottom knife ringsc) Poor fit of bottom knives on mandrel
Remedies of Slitter Rings:a) Insure that run out of bottom knives
after grinding does not exceed the
thickness of the websPhoto #14: Slitter Ringsb) Check to be sure that bottom knives
have a close sliding fit with mandrelc) On individually driven bottom knives, check run out of drive shafts
Other Slitter Defects
Listed below are our common roll defects caused by slitters:
a) Slitter Dust - Excessive slitter dust is caused by dull slitter blades, excessive overspeed ofbottom knifes and/or worn slitter bearings.
b) Nicked Blades - Nicked blades cause roll edges to have small and very short pieces ofweb protruding from the smooth roll edge. Nicked blades are commonly caused byengaging top blades on top of bottom knives or improper storing or handling of the slitter
knives.
c) Scalloped Edges - Scalloped edges are defined as rolls in which the slit web widthincreases and decreases during the winding process. This is normally caused by
excessive slitter run out, insufficient side pressure on shear slitters or slitters that are not
securely retained during the slitting process.

8/13/2019 Art of Winding - 03.02.11
19/21
d) High Edges - High edges are defined as a slitting defect which results in the edges of theslit rolls flared up. This defect is common when razor type slitting is used and is causedby dull razor slitters. It is corrected by replacing the razor knives or by moving the razor
to obtain a new cutting point on the blade. This defect can be minimized by oscillating
the razor blade to vary the cutting point on the blade during winding.
Properly defining all of the roll and web defects and addressing the possible causes and
remedies is far beyond the allowable pages of this article. The new book Roll and WebDefect Terminology (2
nd edition) by TAPPI PRESS describes defects commonly found in
paper, film and non-woven webs and wound rolls. (Smith, 2007)
This new and greatly improved 2nd
edition contains: Illustrations, Causes and Remedies for
224 Defects with common Synonyms for each, which are cross referenced in the Index. Thenew edition as been expanded to 10 Chapters including chapters on:

In Conclusion
Winding good rolls is the challenge that every slitter winder operator faces. Consistently
winding good rolls depends on the consistency of bringing good material to the slitting and
rewinding operation. A winder operators job is not to camouflage poor quality webproducts into shippable rolls. His or her responsibility is to handle webs with slight
imperfections and to produce quality rolls that will run without problems on your customersprocess and produce high quality products for their customers. I hope that the informationpresented will help in meeting this challenge.
