Accumulators

Accumulators are recommended to stop the sheet for safely operating the winding equipment. It is recommended at higher web speeds, particularly over 100+ fpm to aid in the proper transfer and handling of the sheet. This also improves the overall quality of the rolls being produced as sheet tension is maintained and the operators have ample time to transfer the web with accuracy.
