Machine upgrades, accessories and options are almost limitless and can be provided on every new Phoenix Machine project, rebuild, or in-use production machine.

Changes are accomplished at our facility in Flanders, NJ or in the field for existing units.

Upgrades can be performed on any converting machinery manufacturer’s unit, with the Phoenix design staff engineering changes from field recorded measurements and installation completed by our mechanical and electrical technicians for a total turn-key package.

Some common upgrades include new drive packages (single to multi-motor transmission), touchscreen recipe storage (HMI), ergonomic roll handing adders, additional slitting types, closed and open loop tension control systems and operator safety upgrades.

Phoenix also offers used machines for sale, “as is” (if in acceptable condition) or rebuilt, to the general converting marketplace. Speaking with a Phoenix Sales Engineer allows the discussion of your primary needs, possible future requirements, and general overall concerns to offer the perfect solution for your converting application.

Whether it be new machinery, a rebuilt unit, used machine or an upgrade to an existing system, Phoenix can handle it!

Specialty rolls and roller coverings can be provided to fit any application including plasma coated, hard-coated, chrome, rubber covered, vacuum and spreader rollers. Hot and cold laminating stations as well as in-line and cross-web perforating stations can also be integrated.

All machinery can be upgraded for location in Cleanroom/FDA environments with the level offered to fit the exact need.

All types of open and closed loop tension control systems are available.

All applications can be built or upgraded with pneumatic or electric brakes, or motor driven unwinds.

Handling trim can prove to be a challenge depending upon the converted materials and slit widths. Two options are trim winders and trim systems. Phoenix trim winders are offered in traversing and non-traversing styles, and can be pneumatically or electrically driven. Trim blowing systems can also be provided, sized to the application and integrated into the drive system with on/off/ auto pushbuttons, and complete electrical interconnect within the panel.

Phoenix offers manual style core cutters for 3”, 6” and 8” ID cores, for those converters that choose to buy cores in lengths and cut to size in-house. Bench mounted and floor standing models available.

Phoenix has long accepted used machine trade-ins as payment towards new projects. Accumulating this inventory allows the sale of used equipment to the marketplace directly if condition permits, or as a rebuilt unit if deemed necessary. Inventory changes quickly, so speaking with a Phoenix representative about your application early in the process is recommended.
