TDS MiniMax
So what does the MiniMax offer, what makes it special?
The traditional "smaller" slitter rewinders in use in many printers, packaging and converting companies are a compromise, not what was actually required but the best option available at the time. These machines are typically shafted center winders. Slit separation is a gamble at best with very unsatisfactory roll density and the control.

The Webco MiniMax is everything these traditional slitter rewinders are not!
It is a two drum surface winder with programmable rider roll and web tension offering excellent roll density control, an absolute necessity for today's printers. State of the art slitting section followed by a twin bowed roll system provides proven and positive slit separation techniques. No shafts! It is shaftless both in unwind and rewind.The integral shaftless floor pick-up unwind and the touch screen operator's station located on an articulating arm system offers an extremely efficient and compact design.

Compact! Competitively Priced! Ergonomic Design! Versatile! Innovative! Affordable!

Last but not least it's affordable!
With a few typical options the MiniMax comes with a price tag that equals or betters the price of those much less efficient shafted winders.

The maximum for the minimum investment!
