“Our old braking system required us to replace pads every 6 months on each brake, with a total of 20 brakes on just one corrugator line!” explained the plant manager.

“Machine downtime, maintenance procedures and costs were a problem for us, that was until we installed Turborex. Subsequently, we decided to upgrade all our roll stands with Turborex brakes. The benefits are that the Turborex multi disc brake, with double fan eco-friendly brakes, improves the unwinding efficiency, while ensuring the highest performance and the least maintenance requirements for spare parts. With double fan ventilation, Turborex operates at lower temperatures on the toughest applications, 24/7, where working conditions are extreme.”

He continues, “In addition, we have updated the old chuck for new Duplex roll ejector chucks. This resolved two long-standing problems, which often occurred during the production cycle. The first was a paper wastage problem, which was caused by the reel core slippage. Our paper waste most often occurred during splicing, because of incomplete unwinding of the roll or due to core damage. The second problem related to a lower safety level for the operator and the machine due to the manual intervention with levers or other tools for the discharging of stuck reels or cores from the reel stand.”

It’s always advantageous to receive high quality, innovative solutions that increase productivity and safety in the plant, while reducing production and maintenancecosts.”
