Description

Overview
The Bridge directs single-faced lengths of corrugated board to the Bridge Guide and on to the Bridge Brake. Configurable for single-, double- and triple-wall corrugated board. The Webtrol metering system, integrated into the Bridge Guide, detects and enables control of the single-faced web position at the bridge end.

Key features
  • Webtrol metering system for precise positioning toward the corrugator centre or the outside web
  • Adjustable brake drum applying precise, constant web tension for optimal heating, glue application and bonding
  • Brake resistance controllable pneumatically via a brush station with low‑wear brushes
  • Suitable for single-, double- and triple-wall corrugated board


Control dynamics
Designed for high production speeds (up to 450 m/min). Built-in buffer function ensures consistent web speeds. High-performance drive and tension system secure safe web transport; drive station core is a frequency-controlled motor coupled with the Single Facer.

Operation
Low-maintenance, user-friendly design with a control console featuring an integrated or standalone touch panel. Production monitoring and fast diagnostics are supported. The Zero Defect System (ZDS) issues early warnings for deviations to reduce waste and speed up fault localisation.

Machine safety
Built to comply with strict international safety regulations. Many components are partly pre-installed and delivered as modules for rapid on-site assembly.
