Blanket Wash Cloth Rewinders?

[Hopkins Printing]

Is anyone on here using any kind of a blanket wash cloth rewinder and if so, where did you purchase it from?

Any info you could provide is greatly appreciated!

TIA,

For what press are you trying to rewind the cloths. If it was a Heidelberg, on some models you can do it from the operating console. I'ts time consuming because they rewind very slowly. Some places do it manually, but I would not recommend it. If the cloth bunches up you could do a lot of damage. You will save a few bucks one way, but broken gears and parts will not be cheap to replace and fix. Outsource aftermarket towels that may cost less and work just as well. Although in Heidelberg's case, sometimes you can't beat the original product.

Not a great idea. By the time you buy the rewinder and pay someone to rewind the cloths and then put up with the possible inferior performance you might just as well buy new ones.
You can buy cloths already impregnated with blanket wash. Why don't you work out the ROI on that method to see if it can save you a couple of bucks.
Don't forget the washer is doing all cylinders simultaneously. Compare that to two guys doing them by hand.
