Pneumatic single disc tension control brake
Wichita Clutch
Wichita's Mistral pneumatic tension brake is attuned to the needs of the corrugating market for which it was originally designed. It is also a versatile product which is finding favor in additional tensioning applications. Wichita designers and engineers consulted extensively with mill roll stand manufactures and users to offer a tension brake ideally suited to needs of this particular market. The result is a compact, high performance, versatile brake capable of handling the tensioning needs of the latest machine designs, as well as existing equipment. The Mistral paves the way for increasing line speeds by 5.4 feet/sec. from 810 feet/min. (or slower) to 1,140 feet/min.
