Wound-on-tension for two drum winders

The two drum winder remains to be a high productivity winder for rewinding some paper and nonwoven webs at very high speeds. Winding models of varied capabilities exist for center winders, center winders with rider rollers, and surface winders. Winding models for two drum winders however are still in the introductory stages. Two drum winders are somewhat more complex than other winders due to the number of rollers, driven and undriven, which impinge the surface of the winding roll. The objectives of this paper are to show the influence of various winder operating parameters and thread path on the wound-on-tension in the outer layer (WOT).Mechanical and Aerospace Engineerin
