Since the invention of the zero speed splicers, we have introduced many hundreds of new products to facilitate non-stop production. Some of our recent new products include a USDA stainless steel packaging splicer, a zipper splicer, a 66`` wide splicer with a heat seal head, an 80`` wide splicer for film and non wovens, and the SP-1 SL Shrink sleeve splicer. Enhanced features include a dual reach down loading option so that both rolls can be picked up close to the floor. For rewinding needs, Butler manufactures a matched speed splicing turret rewinder, and cantilevered automatic splicer rewinder.  To increase compatibility with packaging applications, Butler now includes stainless steel side frames, control boxes, and base plates as standard features on all SP-1 machines.

With over 16,000 units installed worldwide, Butler continues to be the industry’s benchmark for unsurpassed quality, reliability and customer support. The company’s products are used in numerous applications including packaging, printing, business forms, envelopes, disposable diapers, wallpaper, fiberglass insulation, converting and corrugated box industries

Consider each roll change a lost opportunity

You lose money every time your process stops.

Why shut down your packaging line four times a day if you don’t have to?

The choice is simple - utilize automatic splicing to eliminate costly downtime associated with manual roll changes or do nothing and continuously pay the price of lost productivity and profits. Manual roll changes act as a leak in your process, draining profits every time you stop the line.

4 roll changeovers per day = 1,460 shut downs per year
