Built to Handle the Heavy Stuff: Unwinders and Rewinders for Large-Diameter Rolls
From Manufacturers Supplies Company – Supporting NIBA Members with Industrial-Grade Converting Equipment
When working with conveyor belting, rubber, technical fabrics, or industrial laminates, the job often starts with one big challenge: handling heavy, large-diameter master rolls safely and efficiently. That’s where Manufacturers Supplies Company’s Unwind and Rewind Systems come in.
Whether you’re feeding material into a slitter, laminator, knife cutter, or sheeter, our unwinders are designed to support high-tension, wide-web operations with the strength, control, and customization required for today’s belting industry.
Heavy-Duty, Customizable, and Built for Integration
Our unwinders are available in both shafted and shaftless configurations, with manual or motorized roll lifts, and can be adapted for roll diameters up to 60 inches or more depending on your needs. With modular construction, they can be easily integrated into new or existing production lines and are compatible with most downstream converting machinery — including slitter rewinders, die cutters, waterjet tables, and knife cutting systems.
Key Benefits for the Belting & Gasket Industry
- Safe, ergonomic handling of jumbo rolls – reduce operator strain and improve throughput
- Consistent tension control – critical for feeding flexible or compressible materials like rubber, felt, foam, and multi-layered composites
- Optional edge-guiding systems – for accurate material alignment during unwinding
- Motorized or pneumatic roll lifts – to support rolls weighing hundreds of pounds
- Custom roll stand configurations – adapted to your material specs, roll width, and production goals
From single-roll stands to dual-position unwinds with tension brakes and digital web guiding, our solutions are engineered for reliability, performance, and safety.
