Montalvo Video Details Range Expansion

Published: June 27, 2014

GORHAM, ME | Montalvo Corporation offers the Automatic Range Expander (P3000HD) that individually controls each pad of a brake creating multiple operating ranges. It is said to utilize only the necessary amount of pads to create the necessary amount of torque. 

Company says range expansion increases the capabilities of existing machines, allowing them to be more effective at running multiple types of materials with differing tension levels, gain greater control at lower torque ranges, run high mass rolls at lighter tensions (i.e. films and foils), run low torque and tension applications that require high torque to stop (i.e. sheeters), and reduce friction pad wear.

According to president Ed Montalvo, the company has a video available that provides a detailed overview of how range expansion works and showcases those concepts in a live demonstration. He says, “In today’s environment, manufacturers are required to do more with less. Manufacturers cannot always afford new machines, and current machines may now need to perform functions they were not originally intended for. The automatic range expander gives them that ability. This new video details [our] elite range expander, showing viewers exactly how it can make them more productive.”
