Optimizing continuous web processing through precise tension management
- Controlling for consistent thickness and quality – When manufacturing paper, plastics, or film, BLH Nobel solutions maintain precise and accurate tension to ensure consistent paper quality and avoid material wrinkles or tears.
- Eliminating stretching or tearing – In industries such as textile manufacturing, incorrect tension can lead to stretching or tearing, affecting the fabric's consistency and feel. BLH Nobel solutions provide the exact tension required for fabric quality, with precise control suited even to the most delicate fabrics.
- Maintaining material integrity – For processes like cold rolling production of steel, BLH Nobel tension control ensures that material integrity, and thickness are consistent. This is essential for quality and to avoid material damage.
Low Profile Web Tension unit
The Z1P is a low profile unit that consists of one single-unit load measuring plate. It has two separate outputs and in different configurations, the unit can be used for both horizontal and vertical force measurement. The low profile unit fits easily into existing SNL bearing housing. The high quality of the Z1P assures no mechanical failure before bearing housing break load. Its stainless steel construction and high ingress protection makes it suitable in harsh environments.
KIS Load Cell Shaft Installation
Our high accuracy load cells are insensitive to side load. Replacing the shaft in a roller with internal bearing by a KIS load cell to measure the force caused by the tension in the paper during production. Since the load cell can be rotated, the full resultant force can be measured. Using KIS as a shaft, we can deliver a wide range up to 500 kN and measuring range 1-100 % of nominal range. The measurement is ideally placed in neutral axis and requires very limited space.
