Post-winder solutions – from roll to pallet

"Our systems handle rolls of all sizes directly from the winder, ranging from small consumer products such as freezer bags and fruit bags to waste sacks and large industrial rolls. We cover the entire process chain, from packing into boxes to palletising, with configurable options including labelling, vision inspection, and integrated weighing. This ensures efficient production, consistent quality, and full control throughout the process.

The result is reliable automation, flexible solutions, and a seamless flow from production to finished pallet."

Peter Håkansson, Sales Manager at Jorgensen

Rolls to consumer packaging

Large rolls move directly from the winder into a fully automated packaging flow. Boxes are automatically erected and positioned, while the rolls are packed in the required configuration, ready for downstream handling.

The solution covers the complete process chain from case packing to palletising, with options such as labelling, vision inspection, and integrated weighing.

By connecting each process step into one seamless flow, manufacturers gain higher efficiency, consistent quality, and full control from production output to finished pallet.

Project management excellence

Project management is central to us. We take great pride in always being able to deliver demanding projects on time and within budget.

This has made us a capable project driven organisation utilising advanced project tools to ensure quick and safe deliveries, whether it be single machines or turnkey projects.

Frequently Asked Questions

What industries can benefit from a post-winder solution?

Typical users include producers of bags-on-roll products such as trash bags, food bags and freezer bags, as well as manufacturers of industrial roll products including agricultural film, construction film and specialty packaging materials. Any producer handling rolls can benefit from automated post-winder operations that improve efficiency, quality and production flow.

What is a post-winder solution?

A post-winder solution is an automated system that handles and processes rolls after the winding operation. It can perform tasks such as roll handling, packaging, case packing, palletising, labelling, quality inspection and transport to storage or shipping areas. The objective is to reduce manual handling, improve efficiency and ensure consistent product quality.

Why automate roll production after winding?

Automating post-winder operations helps manufacturers increase productivity, reduce labour dependency and improve workplace safety. Automation also minimises handling errors, creates more consistent processes and enables higher throughput without increasing staffing levels.

What are the biggest challenges after the winding process?

Common challenges after winding include manual roll handling, labour shortages, inconsistent packaging quality, bottlenecks in packing operations and inefficient palletising. An automated post-winder solution addresses these challenges by creating a continuous, efficient and scalable production flow.

What processes can be automated after winding?

A post-winder solution can automate a wide range of downstream processes, including:

  • Roll unloading
  • Roll inspection and quality control
  • Wrapping and packaging
  • Labelling and traceability
  • Robotic case packing
  • Palletizing
  • Internal transportation and buffering
  • Warehouse integration

The exact scope depends on the product, packaging requirements and production setup.

What are the benefits of robotic case packing and palletising?

Robotic case packing and palletizing improve speed, accuracy and consistency while reducing repetitive manual work. Benefits often include:

  • Higher production capacity
  • Reduced labour costs
  • Improved ergonomics and worker safety
  • Consistent packaging quality
  • Better pallet stability for transport

Can a post-winder solution be integrated with existing converting lines?

Yes. Our solutions are designed to integrate with existing production lines, winders, conveyors, packaging machines, warehouse systems and ERP platforms. Integration requirements depend on the age, specifications and layout of the existing equipment.

How does a post-winder solution improve production efficiency?

By automating repetitive downstream tasks, a post-winder solution reduces bottlenecks and eliminates unnecessary manual handling. This creates a more continuous production flow, optimises resource utilisation and allows operators to focus on higher-value activities.

How can a post-winder solution reduce labour dependency?

The solution automates labour-intensive processes such as roll handling, packing and palletising. This reduces reliance on manual labour, helps address workforce shortages and improves operational stability across shifts.

What safety benefits does an automated post-winder solution provide?

Automation reduces manual lifting, repetitive movements and forklift traffic around the production area. This can significantly improve workplace safety, lower the risk of operator injuries and create a more ergonomic working environment.

What should be considered when selecting a post-winder solution?

Key factors include:

  • Production capacity
  • Product dimensions and variations
  • Packaging requirements
  • Available floor space
  • Integration with existing equipment
  • Future scalability
  • Return on investment (ROI)

Selecting the right solution requires balancing current production needs with future growth plans.

What is the typical ROI of a post-winder solution?

The return on investment depends on production volume, labour costs, current process efficiency and the degree of automation. Many manufacturers achieve ROI through reduced labour requirements, increased throughput, fewer handling errors and improved operational uptime.

Can a post-winder solution be customised?

Certainly! Most post-winder solutions are customised to match the customer's products, facility layout, production targets and packaging requirements. A modular design also allows future expansion as production needs evolve.
