Vanguard Series Brake

Montalvo VCB Series Individual Tow Creel Brake

The Vanguard Creel Brake – VCB (a component of the Montalvo Vanguard System) is a specifically designed brake for providing precise, repeatable tension/torque control of individual creel positions. A compact profile and a range of torque options ensures the VCB Series meets the requirements of practically any process running tows or single strand materials (carbon, glass, textile, wire, and more).

Easily installed on existing creel racks or with a Montalvo Modular Creel Rack System.

Designed and built for the unique and often low-tension requirements of these materials, to achieve smooth, repeatable torque control from start to finish for higher quality end product and less scrap.


CS Series Tension Brakes

Ideal for light duty applications, CS Series Brakes feature a low profile design with high capacity and low inertia. CS Brake install in just minutes to get you up and running faster with greater brake performance.

A compact, low profile design makes the CS ideal for web press, narrow web, flexopress, label press, slitter/rewinder, die cutter and other small scale applications.

CS Tension Brakes are one of the most cost effective small scale brake options in the industry but without sacrificing performance & control.


Standard Series Tension Brakes

Dual disc performance and control with higher heat dissipation and easy maintenance. Montalvo’s Standard Series of Brakes ensures precise, accurate tension control right from the start.
