Turret Head Slitter: The line includes Braner USA's patented "Turret Head Slitter" equipped with two quick-change 9" x 150 HP slitter heads. The exclusive Turret Head design offers unobstructed slitter arbor accessibility, which results in faster tooling removal and replacement, one- minute slitter head changeover time, and fewer moving parts resulting in less maintenance than any other quick-change slitter head design.

Surface Inspection: PTP equipped its new line with a state-of-the-art Surface Inspection Station, giving it the ability to thoroughly inspect the strip surface for defects such as scratches, dents, scuff marks, gouges, and imperfect coating. The Inspection Station incorporates high intensity lighting as well as adjustable frequency high intensity "strobe" lamps above the strip, allowing the inspector to easily identify and record any surface defects.



Strip Tensioning: Two Strip tensioning devices are employed in the PTP line; a "drag pad" type, and a "non-marking roll" type. The drag pad type utilizes replaceable felt surfaced drag pads actuated by adjustable pressure air cylinders to generate winding tension. Drag pads are an ideal low maintenance method for generating high winding tension for non-critical surface materials. For surface critical applications, a non-marking roll tension stand that employs large diameter tension rolls with a special "Sure-Grip" textured surface coupled to a high torque pneumatic brake, is utilized to generate winding tension. The "Sure-Grip" roll texture provides a solid non-segmented high friction surface that will not collect and deposit grime and contaminates and is easy to clean and maintain.

Outboard Supports: The Uncoiler and Recoiler are equipped with "Outboard Supports" that support the Uncoiler and Recoiler main shafts from the free end, eliminating shaft deflection and maintaining Uncoiler and Recoiler alignment while running. Perfect shaft alignment is essential for producing straight side-wall slit coils and preventing Overarm scuffing.
