heat 2kWh per roll stand of electrical energy, that can be reused in the plant’s electrical line. With hybrid regulation, the brake works less, for a reduced consumption of the pads. This helps improve paper quality and avoids waste, a fundamental goal for safeguarding the plant’s economy as well as for the planet’s ecology. “The Renova Revolution allows every corrugator the opportunity to splice at line speeds at least 25 percent faster, and to also take advantage of green energy tax credits to make sure they’re making more money without needing more labor. “Revolution is designed for an easy and fast ‘plug and play’ installation. It is equipped with a customizable flange that allows retrofitting all roll stands with different shaft or chuck configurations. Revolution also uses Industry 4.0 technology, which incorporates an intuitive and easy-to- use control panel that enables a direct dialog with the pro- duction systems in the ERP and a cabinet that contains the electronic components to connect a plant’s electric line.” Visit www.CSTSystems.net .

force their bottom line. That’s the reason we’re so excited about the Revolution from Renova. “The idea was born based on feedback Renova re- ceived from its customers who were experiencing fre-
quent downtimes during splicing caused by paper tearing, which ad- versely affected production. During this phase, the web is pulled via the splicing tape by the draw while the roll, which can reach five tons, is still stationary. For this reason, breakages occurred mainly due to

low-weight papers or because the tape did not grip cor- rectly. To avoid paper tearing, the line speed is drastically reduced during splicing, leading to a massive reduction of linear feet produced during each shift. “The Revolution is designed to accelerate the roll on its axis and not via the paper web, helping the roll overcome initial inertia for a reduction in downtimes. It can also main- tain faster splicing speeds, which increases production. “Corrugators employ pneumatic brakes that emit ther- mal energy which is usually dispersed in the environment. The heat, in addition, accelerates component wear and affects braking efficiency. The Revolution system helps recover part of this unexploited energy; the motor trans- forms the thermal energy of the brake, otherwise lost as
