Managing director Grant Mahoney, who set up the Kent-based firm in 1990, said the web-trimming facility reduced the width of reels without rewinding.
The mobile trimmer sits on a trailer with the reel feeding into the machine. The end of the reel is removed, leaving the finished reel with a narrower width.
Mahoney said the trimmer, which uses a unique patented technology, can also convert damaged stock and trim a range of grades, from krafts to mechanical supercalendered paper and newsprint.
"With publishers changing printers, a reel can be altered easily to fit a different press," he added.
The trimmer handles reels 400-3,500mm wide and 500-1,500mm in diameter.
The web divider, based at the company's Sittingbourne plant, can divide a reel into one or more webs without any rewinding.
It is currently being modified to cope with widths of up to 4,300mm and weights of 5,000kgs.
Prima Paper offers web trimmer service that cuts out rewinding
Prima Paper has launched a mobile web-trimming and in-house web-dividing service, which could benefit both printers and publishers.
