Chis Harper can evaluate and solve your converting problems

Chris and the people at Industrial Control are available to help you evaluate web tension problems.  He is the regional factory representative who has outstanding technical web processing credentials. 

If you can describe your web tension problem, we will recommend the least  complicated and most reliable direction. Your current staff is most likely capable of installing and implementing our recommendations.  The solution is not rocket science, just becoming technically aware of how to eliminate problems.

Typical Industrial Applications

Plastic Film- Automatic tuning and out of round roll compensation (previously this was only possible with a dancer control)

Graphics Industry- Tired of low profits due to scrap from rejected rolls? Let us show you how to print and wind better rolls and increase productivty at the same time.

Building Materials- Whether you manufacture roofing shingles, wall board or rolled fiberglass insulation we help you with your web related process improvements..

Metals- For special markets, with very torque limiting applications. Reduce scrap and increase the quality and amount of throughput from your unwind to your rewind.

Nonwovens- We have the technology to handle the full range of nonwoven materials for critical applications.
