Modular brake

tension control

The name for Wichita's ModEvo tension control brake is derived from 'modular' and 'evolutionary', terms that describe it perfectly. Modular - because braking systems to suit diverse tensioning applications can be assembled from a minimal number of modules common to the entire ModEvo range. Evolutionary - because continuous development of new materials, improved design and manufacturing techniques have enabled Wichita to develop ModEvo to match all customers' tension needs at affordable cost. The advantages of the new ModEvo brake lie in the versatility of the modular system, ensuring that the requirements of a wide range of printing and converting unwind tension applications can be met from just a handful of parts common to the ModEvo range. This in turn brings cost benefits, as users can choose just the options they require and add to or upgrade these as their needs change, while carrying a minimum of spare parts.
