Butler Automatic announces its new SP3HSL Series automatic film splicer. The SP3HSL Series, an automatic web splicing system for printed sleeve films, increases line efficiency in sleeved packaging operations by eliminating film roll change downtime. Film roll changes must occur in shrink-sleeve packaging applications as frequently as once every 18 minutes, and changing the roll by hand wastes one to three minutes of production time, according to the vendor.

Capable of running at speeds of up to 450 fpm, the SP3HSL automatically splices the end of each expiring roll of film onto the new roll. The technology is suited for increasing production time in consumer packaged goods and pharmaceutical applications using shrink-sleeve packaging.

The Butler Automatic sleeve splicer will be sold through OEM machine builders for new production lines and for retrofit installation on existing packaging lines.
