Our Dereeler/Dancer Models
Versa Machinery De-Reeler/Dancer Systems are designed to help de-reel flexible or elastic extruded products that are often stretched when pulled from a spool or open coil. A light weight, counter-balanced dancer arm synchronizes the speed of extraction with the speed of a downstream cutter/puller system to minimize and control stretching, resulting in improved cut length accuracy. The system shown holds a spool or open coil stationary while an arm sweeps around it to pull product from it in a consistent manner. Four quick-release stainless steel rods and Lexan plates hold and support open coils during operation. For larger diameter product processing see the tab titled “For Product Over 1/4″ O.D.”
Versa Machinery De-Reeler/Dancer Systems are designed to help de-reel flexible or elastic extruded products that are often stretched when pulled from a spool or open coil. A light weight, counter-balanced dancer arm synchronizes the speed of extraction with the speed of a downstream cutter/puller system to minimize and control stretching, resulting in improved cut length accuracy. The system shown holds spool or open coil on a horizontal shaft and allows it to rotate when the product is pulled from it. Four quick-release stainless steel shafts and Lexan plates hold and support open coils during operation. An electric brake controls rotation when motion is stopped.

Dereeler/ Dancer
The Versa Machinery Motorized De-Reeler/Dancer system eliminates the problems normally experienced when pulling, measuring, and cutting spooled or coiled extruded products such as flexible PVC tubing, silicone rubber, or window and door seals. The system minimizes the stretching of elastic materials, allowing much greater accuracy when they are measured by a Cutter/Puller system.
Conveyors
Versa Conveyors can help to automate your process and reduce labor. Conveyors can be used to carry extruded product directly into a container. Conveyors with an air ejector can produce stacks of cut lengths and accumulate a good deal of product so that it can be handled more efficiently. Ask about our double sided air ejector systems that can stack and hold twice as much finished goods.
