REI recently completed the installation of a 12088S Roll Shear, custom-built and finished in a distinctive green to match the customer’s facility and operational preferences. Designed for high-volume paper roll processing, this installation delivers the power, precision, and safety required to keep production moving without compromise.
This system was engineered to handle demanding workloads while eliminating common bottlenecks associated with manual roll handling and inconsistent cutting performance.
With a 120″ wide by 88″ tall cutting opening, the 12088S Roll Shear allows operators to process large paper rolls quickly.
Built for Performance, Safety & Reliability
At the core of this installation is REI’s commitment to delivering equipment that performs under real-world conditions. The 12088S Roll Shear is purpose-built to reduce downtime, improve material flow, and maintain consistent output, even in high-throughput environments.
This unit was equipped with REI’s standard safety package, including full safety screens and light curtains, designed to protect operators without slowing production. These safeguards allow teams to work while maintaining clear visibility and easy access for routine operation and maintenance.
Project highlights include:
- 120″ x 88″ Roll Opening: Accommodates large-diameter paper rolls with ease
- Standard Safety Screens & Light Curtains: Enhanced operator protection and compliance
- Custom Green Paint Finish: Matched to customer branding and facility standards
- Floor-Level Custom Pit Plates: Engineered for seamless integration and smooth roll handling
Each component of this job was carefully selected and integrated to support safe, efficient material processing from the moment rolls enter the system.
Engineered, Installed & Supported by REI
As with every REI project, our experienced team managed the installation from start to finish. Mechanical placement, electrical integration, safety testing, and start-up were completed on-site to ensure the system was fully operational from day one. Operator walkthroughs and safety reviews were also conducted to support long-term, reliable use and assure our customer was confident in the equipment and it’s performance.
This project reflects what REI does best. We design, deliver and install equipment that works as hard as the people who run it, backed by our nationwide service and support team to keep production moving efficiently, long after installation.
