Tissue Pope Reel
Pope reel designed for tissue machines with gentle handling for bulk preservation.
Pope reel designed for tissue machines with gentle handling for bulk preservation.
The pope reel represents the final process step on the tissue machine, where the dried and creped sheet is wound into parent rolls for subsequent converting operations. Parason's tissue pope reel is specifically engineered to handle the delicate nature of tissue paper, preserving bulk and softness.
Tissue winding presents unique challenges compared to heavier paper grades. The low basis weight and high bulk make it susceptible to crushing under excessive winding tension or nip pressure. Our design addresses these challenges through gentle sheet handling and precise tension control.
The reel incorporates modern automation capabilities for consistent, repeatable operation. Fully automated options reduce operator intervention while ensuring wound rolls meet quality specifications for diameter, hardness, and defect-free surfaces.
