Butler Automatic’s SP1 Series Automatic Film Splicer is suited for medical device packaging applications. According to the vendor, the SP1 Automatic Film Splicer increases efficiency in packaging operations by eliminating the packaging line downtime caused by manual film roll changes.

With its simple mechanical design and high-quality manufacture, the SP1 offers long-term, trouble-free performance. The device senses the diameter of the expiring roll of film and automatically splices the end of each expiring roll onto the new roll. It is capable of running at speeds of 600 fpm.

Additionally, the SP1 is designed to save space with a small footprint, roll-over-roll design, and swing-out shafts for easy front roll loading. The product is also available with a lift-and-load elevator feature, eliminating the need to load heavy rolls directly into the upper position.
