World Leader in Scroll Sheeting Systems

With nearly 300 scroll lines installed worldwide, Littell sets the standard for the container industry in speed, accuracy, quality, and reliability. Supplying over 90% of the worldwide demand for this specialized equipment, our commitment to continual product development insures process superiority and investment advantages for our customers.

Recognized as the world leader in scroll sheeting systems, Littell continues to provide the industry with the latest in performance technology. With speeds of up to 275 mpm providing output ranging from 50 - 300 sheets per minute and the ability to handle coils weighing up to 20 metric tons, Littell's LM-1E, LM-2E, BR-4E, BR-5E, BR-5ER, and RSL-1 models are designed to respond to the industry's demand for economical, high quality, continuous production.

Each Littell Scroll Sheeting System receives the coil with bore vertical, downends, lifts, traverses and places the coil on the payoff reel. The line then uncoils, straightens, inspects, cuts to length, sorts and piles both rectangular and scrolled sheets from coils.

How Scroll Cutting Saves Material and Increases Output

The illustration to the right graphically portrays the progression from coil stock to scroll cut sheets, to re-scroll sheets, to can ends. In this process, and due to the use of the scroll cutting pattern, maximum material utilization of the coil is assured. Actual material savings range from 3% to 8% on every coil.

The illustration to the left reveals the advantages gained when a scroll sheet cut from coil stock on a Littell line is used in a re-scroll shear. Blue colored sections mark material that would have been wasted on a straight cut sheet of the same length. The illustration shows how scroll cutting prevents the waste of twelve scroll butts and instead yields six complete can ends.

Scroll Sheeting for Two-Piece Cans

Two-piece can manufacturers sheet-feed Littell-produced prime scroll material into cupping presses to avoid press downtime often caused by pinholes, off-guage and visual defects found in coil material. The first illustration (above, right) shows the progression from coil to scroll sheet cups for two-piece cans.

Straight Cut Sheeting for Can Bodies

All Littell Scroll Sheeting Systems can produce straight cut sheets for can bodies. The inherent economic potential of coil material is also realized here. Changeover from scroll cutting to straight cutting is quickly and easily achieved, with enough press die space and shut height to handle both straight cut and scroll cut dies.
