Roller boxes in the RK and RK VE series have now been expanded with the RK HM model. Wear often occurs only in a very small area on the rollers, requiring replacement of the rollers. The roller design of the newly developed RK HM series roller guides use tungsten carbide bars placed over the roll circumference. The bars are supported by a rotation- symmetrical design element that also houses the bearings of a guide roller and the axle studs. If the tungsten carbide rods in the contact area with the wire are worn out after some time, they do not have to be replaced. A simple turn around the longitudinal axis by 90 degrees increases the service life. The disassembly and assembly required for this purpose can be carried out quickly and easily within the scope of maintenance. Witels Albert USA Ltd – USA Website : www.witels-albert-usa.com

Windak will introduce customers to the new automatic spool assembly machine MP450_3.0 and Axjo’s MultiPac spool. Axjo’s MultiPac spool is divided in the middle and has a slightly conical barrel; this allows each half of the spool to be stacked and means that up to three times as many spools can be loaded onto a trailer.
