Cross-Wound Spools – Efficient Solutions for High-Volume Applications

Cross-wound spooling is a specialized technique for winding adhesive and non-adhesive materials into long, continuous rolls, designed for optimized performance in automated production processes. Compared to standard pancake rolls, cross-wound spools allow for significantly longer lengths per roll, minimizing machine downtime, reducing changeovers, and improving efficiency in high-throughput environments.

What Are Cross-Wound Spools?

Cross-wound spools, also known as traverse wound spools, are designed to layer material diagonally back and forth across the core rather than in a traditional flat (pancake) style. This unique winding structure enables:

  • Longer continuous lengths – up to thousands of linear meters

  • Compact and stable spools – easier to handle and store

  • Optimized for automation – ideal for labeling, laminating, sealing, and robotic applications

  • Tension-controlled winding – ensuring even material distribution and consistent quality

Why Choose Cross-Wound Spools?

Switching to cross-wound spools brings multiple advantages for industrial manufacturers

  • Increased Efficiency
    Reduce machine stops and roll changes thanks to longer material lengths on each spool.

  • Cleaner Processing
    Cross-wound rolls unwind evenly without telescoping or edge damage, even at high speeds.

  • Ideal for Automation
    Spools are tailored for automated lines, especially in automotive, electronics, and packaging industries.

  • Material Optimization
    Less waste, improved consistency, and better utilization of raw material.

What Can Be Spooled?

At EKO-TECH, we specialize in cross-wound spooling of a wide variety of self-adhesive and non-adhesive materials, including:

  • Single-Sided Adhesive Tapes
    Paper, film, or foam-based technical tapes for bonding, insulation, and masking.

  • Double-Sided Adhesive Tapes
    High-performance tapes including acrylic, rubber, or hotmelt adhesives—suitable for mounting, laminating, and permanent bonding.

  • Technical Foams
    Flexible foams like PORON®, BISCO®, and PE/EVA used for sealing, cushioning, and insulation.

  • Non-Adhesive Materials
    Films, felt, liners, or release liners used in converting, gasketing, or protective applications.

Each spool is tailored to your process parameters: roll length, core size, tension, and direction of unwind can be customized.
