Turn-up paper tape is a core consumable matched with automatic reel change systems of paper machines, widely installed on the reeling section of papermaking production lines. During full parent reel replacement, this folded structural paper tape finishes automatic paper web cutting, paper web transfer and paper tail fixing onto new paper cores instantly. It supports non-stop continuous production for paper mills, eliminates frequent machine shutdowns caused by manual reel changing, and greatly improves the overall operating rate of papermaking equipment.

Mingrui optimized the folding structure and internal fiber density of turn-up paper tapes, balancing tensile strength and surface flatness perfectly. Compared with ordinary flat paper tapes, our products lower bottom indentation of finished paper rolls and effectively reduce waste paper output during reel switching.

Working Principle

When the parent paper roll reaches the preset winding diameter, the reel change system will output the turn-up paper tape synchronously. Dense folded layers bear instantaneous pulling force to cut the running paper web cleanly. Cooperating with matched double-sided adhesive tape, the paper tail is firmly bonded to the new spool within milliseconds to complete the whole reel replacement procedure.

This automatic mode abandons traditional manual paper threading and air-cutting methods, reducing operational risks for workshop staff while stabilizing high-speed running of production lines.

Applicable Reel Change Equipment & Paper Types

• Compatible mainstream reel change systems
• IBS, Sandar, Jet and most domestic & European/Russian automatic reel change devices
• Suitable paper categories
• Household paper: toilet paper, facial tissue, base paper for sanitary products
• Industrial & cultural paper: printing paper, coated paper, writing paper, kraft paper
• Packaging paper: corrugated base paper, liner board, carton board
• Our tapes adapt to high-speed paper machines with different web widths and grammage ranges.

Core Advantages of Mingrui Turn-up Paper Tapes

• High tensile strength & low breakage rate
• Made of 100% pure wood pulp via high-pressure composite pressing and exclusive folding process. Tensile strength ranges from 800N to 2000N, keeping stable under long-term high-speed traction. The failure rate of tape breakage during reel change is controlled at an extremely low level.
• Reduce paper waste & cut comprehensive costs
• Uniform thickness and neat surface greatly relieve indent marks on the bottom of paper rolls. Rewinding leftover waste paper is decreased by over 30%, bringing visible raw material cost savings for paper mills in long-term mass use.
• Stable bonding performance, no contamination
• Smooth tape surface forms steady bonding force with matched adhesive tapes; no residual glue pollutes paper cores or finished paper products, protecting finished paper quality and appearance.

Standard specs + customized service

• Standard size: Width 18.3–18.8 mm, thickness 0.9–1.3 mm, standard roll length 500m / 660m; available in natural brown and white colors.
• Mingrui customizes tape hardness, dimension and roll length according to customers’ actual machine parameters.
• Eco-friendly & stable storage property
• Pure plant fiber material is fully recyclable. Physical indicators remain unchanged under conventional constant temperature & humidity storage, free from damp deformation and strength decline.

Practical Application Effect

• After being applied to multiple domestic and overseas paper mill production lines:
• Reel change success rate raised to 99.8% or above
• Production line downtime caused by reel change failures reduced obviously
• Finished paper yield improved steadily
• Annual comprehensive production cost reduced considerably for paper manufacturers
