Pultrusion and Prepreg Processes
Web tension control on the formed mat, as well as any utilized carrier sheets, is critical to high-quality processing in pultrusion and prepreg applications. Carrier sheet tension control ensures wrinkles, bagginess, breaks, and other defects do not occur, while tension control on the mat itself ensures uniform resin application (if applied to the mat) with no necking down/stretching, breaks, or telescoping during additional processing and rewind/take-up.
Tension Control Solutions for Prepreg and Pultrusion Processes
Ensure higher quality production with less scrap by easily incorporating tension control components into your intermediate processing zones, or rewind/takeup zone after your mat/web has been formed (as well on the tows themselves)!

Laminating Processes
Lamination Processes Require Precise Tension Control of Each Material
As two or more webs come together (general lamination, carrier sheets, surface veil, inter-leafing), each web may have the same or (more often) different characteristics and tension requirements. In order to ensure a high quality lamination process with minimal defects, a tension control system applied to each roll of material is a necessity.
Ensure every roll/material is at the precise tension it requires for high-quality production with Montalvo Tension Control Components.

Converting – Slitting/Sheeting/R2R
All materials have unique processing requirements. Combined with the various processing requirements of the Converting process being employed, a high quality and wide-ranging tension control system to meet every demand is required. Montalvo’s tension control components give you the range, the performance, and the repeatability you require for increased productivity and reduced waste in your converting process.
A Wide Range of Components for Higher Quality Converting
Montalvo is an industry leader in the manufacturing of higher quality, higher performing tension control components that can be easily incorporated into new or existing applications for improved production. From Unwind to Rewind, Montalvo is here for you!
