Airflex products are capable of working robustly in hot, extreme environments like those found in the paper processing industry.  Our clutch brakes are used to drive line shaft machines in paper processing mills.  Downstream from the line shaft equipment, Airflex water cooled brakes are used to maintain proper tension on rewind stands, preventing tearing or uneven winding. Water cooled brakes allow paper processors to optimize production speeds without causing the brake itself to overheat.  The quality of Airflex products helps processors meet critical tolerances while the performance of Airflex units helps minimize the occurrence of downtime due to maintenance and line snaps.

Besides offering a quality product, Airflex offers customers product and technical support through our field sales and application engineering teams.   These teams are available to provide application selection assistance and customized solutions to suit the unique needs of the customer.
