Winding cores re-thought – less waste, more efficiency

WinCore® winding cores integrate technical precision, individual adaptability, and resource conservation. Featuring innovative product features such as winding support and cut-resistant surfaces, they reduce waste, shorten set-up times, and lower maintenance costs. The winding support ensures a faster and easier start to the winding process, while the cut-resistant surface simplifies the removal of residual material without damaging the core. These features optimize production processes, making them both more efficient and more environmentally friendly.
Furthermore, aluminium and PROTEK® coatings ensure high process stability and exceptional durability. WinCore® winding cores find application in the packaging and printing industries, as well as in electronics production, where precision and freedom from particles are absolutely essential.

Sustainable winding cores for battery and fuel cell production

Aluminium, CFRP, and GRP winding cores are also utilized in battery and fuel cell production due to the material’s inherent suitability for cleanroom and dry room environments. For instance, they function as precise carriers for aluminium, copper, or other metallic foils during substrate production. Throughout electrode manufacturing – during coating, drying, or slitting processes – they also ensure an exact, low-tension web path, thereby supporting process reliability. In cell production, such as during the stacking or cutting of electrode webs, they serve as dependable winding solutions.
Particularly in highly automated production processes, dimensionally accurate and concentric winding cores are indispensable for minimizing downtime and rejects. INOMETA provides precise, thermally stable winding cores that surpass conventional cardboard cores in terms of durability and robustness. They do not generate dust, are resistant to drying out, and do not deform – a critical advantage in sensitive production environments like the drying room, where any irregularity could compromise process quality.

Less downtime, more output – focus on saving time and materials

WinCore® winding cores provide a reliable and sustainable solution, even under extreme conditions. They are characterized by their particle-free nature, precision, and stability, especially in packaging, printing, and electronics production as well as battery and fuel cell production. With a service life of up to 1000 winding and unwinding cycles, they significantly reduce raw material consumption and disposal costs.
The Ecoline version guarantees high precision and concentricity and is specifically designed for use with expansion shafts and chucks. Its multiple reusability enhances both economic and ecological efficiency. Upon request, it can be hard anodized or coated with PROTEK® for increased durability.
Our Proline version takes it a step further: it features specially manufactured inserts to protect the sleeve ends, increasing their robustness and service life. Companies thus benefit from even greater precision and concentricity, further optimizing production processes.

All advantages of WinCore® winding cores at a glance

WinCore® winding cores provide companies with a wide range of advantages that optimally combine ecological and economic benefits:

  • Replaces up to 500 cardboard cores, over 1000 inserts in closed circuits
  • High strength and rigidity
  • High concentric accuracy
  • Specifically designed materials
  • High manufacturing quality
  • RFID technology
  • High reusability
  • Narrow bale possible on wide tube cores
  • Fewer tube core variants required in comparison with cardboard cores
  • No reduction in winding speed in initial or residual layer
  • Resistant to oil and lubricant
  • No swelling due to ambient humidity

Resource-saving wrapping without double-sided adhesive tape

The WinCore® winding cores with winding support enable the quick and clean winding of thin films without double-sided adhesive tape. The special adhesive surface ensures direct application of the film to the core within the machine. This reduces the consumption of disposable auxiliary materials, eliminating residue and unnecessary waste during start-up. This optimized wrapping process leads to cleaner processes without adhesive residue, minimizes machine downtime through faster starts, and ensures optimal first wrapping layers without voids or slippage.

Cut-resistant surfaces for durable winding cores

Cutter knives, often used to remove winding remnants, can quickly damage conventional core surfaces. WinCore® winding cores with a cut-resistant surface solve this problem; their special coating resists cuts. This cut resistance preserves the core’s surface structure long-term, protects it from wear and tear, and significantly extends its service life. Thanks to the cut-resistant surface, the absence of cutting marks ensures high quality winding surfaces by not disturbing the initial layers. The removal of adhesive and residual material is simplified, and the FDA-compliant coating ensures the highest safety standards. Furthermore, the reduced replacement frequency lowers both investment and storage costs.
