Six 190mm reels were rewound on both machines and at 700m/min on the SR9-DT rewinder.  

 

After a presentation on Atlas-Titan service and customer support, the guest speaker of the day was Dr. Carolin Struller, research associate of Bobst Manchester Ltd., who gave a very interesting presentation on aluminium oxide coated transparent barrier films for packaging applications.
