The previous system utilised Coremo Brakes on two unwinds of the main coating line. These brakes, however, were not ideally suited for the slow speeds required by the customer's curing process. As a result, the brakes displayed juddering and non-linear performance, which led to several issues in the production process.
One of the major consequences of this poor performance was the production of high levels of scrap material. This not only increased production costs but also had a negative impact on the overall efficiency of the coating line. The customer, therefore, sought a solution to replace these problematic brakes and improve their production process.
