Columbia Winch for Routine Installation of a Drying Belt in a Paper Making Machine

Job # 80563
 

Customer:
Kimberly Clark

Location:
Beech Island, South Carolina

Application:
This new winch system was designed specifically to make it faster and easier to accomplish the routine installation of a drying belt in a paper making machine that measures more than 250 feet long.

This configuration of APPI's Columbia WF4700-2A34-L-03 winch includes their proprietary AutoAdvance Line Spooler along with a urethane tension roller to ensure precise line spooling. Up to 356’ of 5/16” of synthetic rope, which was specified for both operator and equipment protection, can be stored on the drum of these units. With a first layer line pull rating of 2,350 lbs and a variable speed control that ranges from 0-24 fpm, installation of new belts is both quick and precise.

Although completely sealed construction is a design standard for all Columbia winches and hoists, these units were supplied with washdown-duty motors, synthetic rope assemblies, and stainless steel fasteners to help prevent corrosion and provide extended service.
