products that perform

solutions for every machine.

our systems integrate seamlessly.

We design our threading products with one goal in mind: making complex systems safer and more efficient. Each component is engineered to fit your individual specifications, providing reliability and performance you can trust so you can focus on what really matters.

APS continuous vacuum conveyor (CVC)

Continuous Vaccum Conveyor

Our continuous vacuum conveyor handles everything from high-speed lightweights to market pulp. It offers horizontal, vertical, and inverted press-to-reel positioning for versatile control and efficiency, all built in stainless steel for reliable, low-maintenance performance.

APS air foil threader

Air Foil Threader

The air foil threader can operate standalone or with vacuum conveyors and is adaptable for various machine areas—from dryer to reel. Its durable, stainless steel design supports horizontal, vertical, and inverted configurations and is available with tube-type air jets or air knife applications.

APS calender threader

Calender Threader

Designed for three to eight roll stacks and high-speed lightweights to board, the calender threader eliminates the need for an upper pinch roll, reducing equipment needs, roll wear, and refinishing. It efficiently utilizes compressed air with air knife applications.
APS SGC tail cutter

SGC Tail Cutter

The SGC tail cutter offers a simple, low-maintenance solution for high-speed tail breaking, ensuring clean, straight cuts whether used alone or alongside an edge doctor.

Rotary Saw Blade Tail Cutter

Rotary Saw Blade Tail Cutter

This versatile tail cutter features single, dual, or portable handheld control options and a compact, rigid beam design that allows unlimited cross-machine length with adjustable positioning. Special tooth designs minimize dust and prevent fiber build-up.

APS water jet tail cutter

Water Jet Tail Cutter

Constructed entirely of stainless steel, the water jet tail cutter can work with either a customer or new water supply system. It provides fully adjustable, accurately set cut positions, with options for double or single nozzles and edge trim squirts.

APS knife blade tail cutter

Knife Blade Tail Cutter

Featuring a compact, rigid beam design for unlimited cross-machine length, the knife blade tail cutter offers fully adjustable or preset cut positions for precision. It allows tool-free blade changes, with the head designed for easy parking and an integrated sheet stabilizing plate.

APS SBB tail breaker

SBB Tail Breaker

Ideal for tissue, towelling, high-speed newsprint, or press section threading, the SBB tail breaker features a compact, low-maintenance design with a hardened, stainless-steel saw-spike tooth blade. Pneumatic controls ensure safe storage when not in use.

Sheet breaker

Sheet breakers cleanly break the paper web on command, providing operators with a controlled tail for safe and efficient rethreading through the machine. By reducing excess broke, and speeding up restart after cleaning or repairs, it helps minimize downtime and keeps production running smoothly.

APS rope diverter

Rope Diverter

The rope diverter is designed for scanners, edge markers, or size press rope removal, enabling full sheet scanning and rope clearance from rotating rolls during idle modes. It is configurable for single, double, or triple rope systems, either standalone or integrated with the paper machine control system.

APS automated mechanical hand (AMH)

Automated Mechanical Hand

Simulates a human pulling the tail into a rope nip and eliminates the need for manual intervention by automatically pulling, holding, and releasing the tail. It is typically used alongside transfer equipment to move the tail from a press roll to the next machine position.

PLC system control panel

System Controls

All our threading systems, tail cutters, rope diverters, and automated mechanical hand units come with comprehensive, custom-designed control packages—including operation stations, control panels, and drive panels. Every system is CE certified to ensure safe and reliable operation.
