Reimagine Embossing Performance
Designed for high-output industries
In fast-paced, high-volume industries, efficiency isn’t optional – it’s mission-critical. The Sleeve Change Calender (SCC) empowers operators to change embossing designs on the fly, maintain exceptional pattern fidelity, and integrate seamlessly into both new and existing production lines.
Whether you’re producing embossed folded products or premium packaging, the SCC delivers the agility and automation you need to stay competitive and scale with confidence.
Engineered for Agility
With sleeve changes in under 15 minutes, the Calender reduces setup costs and downtime dramatically. A modular system allows seamless integration into existing lines and supports various embossing styles—cold, micro, debossing—thanks to the hydraulic Easy Change System (ECS) and expandable expander cores.
Intelligent Process Automation
The Calender features fully automatic positioning from male to female rollers by a laser system, built-in radial and axial correction, and register adjustments made directly via drive systems or compensating rollers. Smart automation ensures consistent results with minimal operator intervention.
Designed to Scale with You
From basic embossing to advanced applications like 3D texture embossing for premium aesthetics, the SCC is ready to grow with your operations. The robust frame supports modular upgrades to dual embossing stations, accommodates multiple roller sizes, and future-proofs your line as market demands evolve.

Advanced Features That Power Performance
The Sleeve Change Calender is more than an embossing unit — it’s a forward-thinking solution built on decades of precision engineering experience. Every feature has been developed with one goal in mind: to maximize uptime, reduce waste, and provide unparalleled production flexibility. From lightning-fast sleeve changes to seamless register automation, the SCC supports advanced embossing applications across high-output sectors.
Whether you’re scaling up production, switching between embossing designs, or retrofitting existing lines, the Calender offers the functional depth and configurability to keep you ahead of demand.
Easy Change System (ECS)
The ECS hydraulic expander core allows you to change embossing sleeves directly inside the machine, minimizing setup time and operator effort. The hydraulic expansion mechanism securely fixes the sleeve over the entire surface – creating a torsion-resistant, vibration-free fit. Thanks to the conical interface between the expander core and the sleeve, mounting is smooth and safe with optimal alignment every time.
Inline Embossing Flexibility
Whether you require cold embossing, micro-texturing, or register-true inline embossing, the SCC adapts instantly to your needs. It supports male/female embossing systems with varying structure depths and delivers consistent results, even with intricate or high-precision patterns. Ideal for converters and flexible packaging lines requiring both aesthetics and tactile quality.
Register Automation
Say goodbye to manual adjustments and unnecessary mechanical components. With the SCC, circumferential and lateral register corrections are made directly through the drive systems or via an integrated compensating roller—no repeat gear wheels needed. The result: perfect registration, even during speed changes or roll shifts.
Modular Integration
The Calender is designed with modularity at its core. It fits seamlessly as an integration into your production line – thanks to its compact, robust construction. Need to scale up? No problem. The Calender easily expands into a double embossing station, giving you the flexibility to meet evolving production targets and market demands.
