Official Paco Winders Manufacturer - Hanover, PA

Our Paco Winders operate at various speeds depending on the model and core specifications. The PW-1000 series typically runs at 30-50 cores per minute for standard sizes, with the PW-2000 reaching 60-80 cores per minute in optimal conditions. Production rates vary based on core diameter, wall thickness, and material composition. During consultation, we analyze your specific product requirements and provide detailed production estimates. We can conduct timed production trials with your materials to verify achievable rates for your particular application.

Our standard Paco Winder lineup accommodates cores ranging from 1" to 12" in diameter (25mm to 300mm) with wall thicknesses from 0.040" to 0.500" (1mm to 12.7mm). Length capabilities span from 2" to 120" (50mm to 3000mm) depending on the model. For requirements outside these parameters, our engineering team can develop custom configurations. We carefully evaluate your product specifications to recommend the most appropriate machine model and setup for your production needs. Each configuration includes the appropriate tooling and adjustments to optimize production for your specific core dimensions.

Floor space requirements vary by model. The PW-1000 typically needs approximately 15' × 20' (4.5m × 6m) of floor space, including operator work areas and material handling. The PW-2000 requires about 20' × 25' (6m × 7.5m), and the PW-3000 multi-station system needs approximately 25' × 35' (7.5m × 10.5m). These dimensions include space for material loading, finished product removal, and operator zones. During the planning phase, our team provides detailed layout drawings to help you prepare your facility. We can adapt configurations to work within existing space constraints when needed.

Our Paco Winders process a wide range of materials including kraft paper (from 18# to 90#), chipboard, specialty papers, and selected non-paper materials. The machines handle single-ply construction or multi-ply laminations depending on your product requirements. For specialty applications, we can configure systems to work with film laminates, foils, and composite materials. Before finalizing equipment specifications, we can conduct material testing to verify compatibility and performance. Our applications team helps determine the optimal material specifications for your particular core products.

Our Paco Winders are designed for minimal maintenance requirements. Routine maintenance includes daily cleaning of adhesive systems, weekly lubrication of specified points, monthly inspection of drive components, and quarterly verification of alignment and calibration. Typical wear items include slitting blades, drive belts, and adhesive application components, which can be replaced during scheduled maintenance to prevent unexpected downtime. We provide comprehensive maintenance documentation with each machine and offer preventive maintenance programs that include regular inspections and scheduled wear part replacement to maximize production uptime and equipment lifespan.
