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.

Gentle winding for premium tissue quality
Low-inertia components and controlled acceleration/deceleration rates minimize sheet stress.
Nip pressure and tension controls enable precise adjustment for tissue grade requirements.
Optional fully automatic operation including spool positioning, threading, and transfer.
Oscillating doctor blade system maintains drum surface cleanliness for reliable winding.
Cooling provisions prevent heat buildup affecting sheet properties during continuous operation.
Cast iron or fabricated steel drums provide mass and stiffness for stable parent roll support.
Gentle winding parameters maintain tissue bulk and softness developed in upstream processes.
Fast roll changes and reliable operation maximize productive uptime and machine efficiency.
