Safe and damage-free paper handling
March 1st 2007

The Bolzoni Auramo CTX is a fully automatic clamping force control system for paper roll clamps.

It uses optimised, lowest possible clamping force for all paper rolls under all conditions minimising the possibility of paper roll out-of-roundness damage.

The varying paper grades, roll weight and diameter, roll wrapper friction, clamp's contact pad friction, environmental and dynamic factors could make the clamping force control overwhelming for the lift truck operator and create lots of pressure on the operator to decide what handling pressure to apply.

The automatic system takes the onus off the operator to make the decision on what handling pressure to apply. They simply address the clamp to the reel, operate the clamp function and the clamp does the rest. Even during travel, the clamp will adjust clamping pressure automatically if shock loadings are applied when for example the truck hits a hole or a piece of wood. All handlings are recorded with a date time reference and the maximum pressure applied to each reel.
