Force Control provides a rugged line of brakes for today’s packaging industry. Force Control’s products, featuring Oil Shear Technology, offer a 5-10x longer service life with no downtime or maintenance. Our electrically, pneumatically, and hydraulically released clutches, brakes, and clutch brakes are semi-customizable to fit any application. Add value to your OEM design by installing a trouble-free clutch or brake. You can rely on Force Control products to provide years of trouble-free, maintenance-free operation and reduced downtime.
We offer products compatible with NEMA 56C frame motors, including our Magnashear® motor brakes, which are designed to fit NEMA frame sizes ranging from 56C to 440TC. These brakes accommodate torque requirements from 6 to 1,250 lb-ft, making them ideal for various industries, including packaging. Whether you need 56C brake motors for specialized packaging applications or coupler brakes for seamless torque transfer, we deliver solutions that keep production lines running smoothly.
Application Solutions
Force Control Industries’ clutches and brakes are used in various packaging applications to enhance performance, reduce downtime, and extend equipment lifespan. Here’s a closer look at some of their key applications:
Ice Cream Filling Stations
Precision and reliability are critical in ice cream filling lines to ensure consistent portioning and prevent spillage. Force Control’s Oil Shear Technology helps maintain smooth operation by reducing wear and minimizing maintenance interruptions.
Case Packers
Case packers require precise stopping and starting motions to align products accurately before packaging. The durable clutches and brakes from Force Control provide repeatable motion control, reducing misalignment and increasing efficiency.
Palletizer Hoist Drives
Palletizers lift and stack heavy loads, requiring robust braking systems to handle frequent starts and stops. Force Control’s sealed, oil-shear palletizer brakes enhance reliability and prevent overheating, even in high-speed production environments. Paired with a durable palletizer hoist gearbox, these braking solutions ensure smooth and controlled pallet movement for maximum efficiency.
Palletizer Side Plate
Side plates in palletizing systems hold products in position during stacking. Force Control’s braking solutions enhance the controlled movement of these plates, improving stability and alignment while reducing mechanical wear.
Bag Filling Machines
Bag fillers depend on accurate metering and stopping to ensure precise product dispensing. The oil-shear braking systems improve speed control, reducing waste and improving product consistency.
Auger Filling Machines
Auger fillers are commonly used for powders and granular products. These machines require consistent torque to maintain accuracy. Force Control’s clutches and brakes help regulate auger speed and prevent product overflows or shortages.
Rotary Cut-Off Systems
Rotary cutters are used in packaging lines to trim materials such as film, paper, and plastic to precise lengths. With Force Control’s smooth braking action, rotary cut-off machines can maintain accuracy without excessive wear or downtime.
Metering Belts
Metering belts control product flow by spacing items evenly on a conveyor before they enter the next stage of packaging. Reliable braking and clutch mechanisms ensure synchronized movement, improving throughput and reducing errors.
Indexing Ice Packing
Ice packaging lines require precise indexing to position and seal bags accurately. Force Control’s advanced braking systems ensure controlled stops and starts, improving efficiency and reducing mechanical strain.
Bulk Screw Feeder
Bulk screw feeders transport large quantities of granular or powdered materials. Reliable torque control is necessary for consistent material flow, and Force Control’s clutch and brake technology prevents sudden stops or clogging.
Barrel Turnover
Barrel turnover machines rotate drums or barrels for filling, emptying, or sealing processes. The controlled motion provided by Force Control’s brakes ensures smooth operation, preventing spills or misalignment.
