Renova is always searching for innovative solutions that improve every aspect of the operators’ work, from safe- ty to productivity. To achieve the purposes, in 2017 they began to think of a new technology that would improve every phase of the line, from roll preparation to splicing, passing through start-up and braking. The idea was born by interposing a regenerative mo- tor between the reel and the pneumatic brake. They have thus invented and patented an innovative energy-recov- ery hybrid brake: Revolution. The multi-disc pneumatic brake and the energy recov- ery motor work in tandem, always guaranteeing the re- quired braking performances. Thanks to the electrical axis, the system can also detect and avoid slippage by check-

eliminating the manual intervention of the operator. To pre- vent paper tearing, Revolution accelerates the roll during the launching phase and assists in overcoming initial iner- tia, so that the splicing can proceed without major slow- downs, improving paper quality and preventing waste, a fundamental goal for safeguarding the plant’s economy as well as for the planet’s ecology.

Usually, more than 1kW of excess ener- gy is wasted every hour during braking ac- tivities and converted in unwanted thermal

Wired. Proven auto-tie technology outputs tighter bales, faster . Our approach to auto-tie technology is a combination of an electro/mechanical process, operator-tested automation, and built-to-last construction and design principles. So, until wireless baling is invented, there’s nothing easier, more reliable or faster than a Balemaster auto-tie baler.

Revolution is an Industry 4.0 technolo- gy: the integrated system also includes an intuitive and easy to use control panel that enables to establish a direct dialog with the production systems in the ERP. The user-in- terface has a color touchscreen that can be set in multiple languages. Re v o l u t i o n is 100 percent plug&play. An
