What is automated roll storage?
Automated roll storage holds fabric rolls and supplies the required material to the next stage of production.
Assyst Bullmer’s Transroll system stores and transports rolls, then changes between them automatically in a programmed order.
The AL Roll Loader serves a separate role: lifting and loading rolls into compatible equipment.
