WYREPAK Capstan Belt Tension Units

Whenever constant payoff tension is required, in either high or low speed situations, capstan belt tension units should be used. They neutralize speed variances and provide constant tension from start-up to shut down.

Typical applications include: 

• Extruding
• Bunching
• Stranding
• Rewinding
• Braider bobbin winding
• Strand annealing

Production processes require sufficient, constant payoff pressure to: 

• Provide a consistent, repeatable process.
• Maintain payoff material properties.
• Keep the product straight for outer coating applications.
• Prevent payoff material movement.
• Stretch or keep payoff material taut during applications.
