Double E / Re Pneumatic Brakes
Double E / Re Combiflex Pneumatic Brakes
The Re pneumatic brake (friction brake) runs cool on unwind stands so brake pads last far longer than other brake pads..	Compatible with all existing roll stands (backstands), including Powell Engineering, BHS, Martin and Langston. Modular caliper design and unique turbine rotor reduce brake size & cost. Excellent heat dissipation and high quality kevlar pads lengthen pad life. Brakes run cool, minimizing squealing and brake dust. Self-enclosed – safe without a cage.

1	Modular brake design allows calipers to be added or removed to suit each application for customized tension control.
2	Special turbine brake rotor increases air flow through the brake, reduces heat, and extends brake pad life.
3	Internal fan provides further cooling; keeps brake cool even at slow speeds.
4	High performance kevlar brake pads last longer while reducing noise and dust.

Problems with standard air-cooled brakes
The primary function of brakes is to convert mechanical energy into heat, which is then dissipated into the atmosphere. Traditional air-cooled disc brakes are actually very poor heat exchangers, depending largely
on a high rotational speed, a large disc diameter, and a large radiant surface to dissipate heat. Often, these brakes overheat, reducing the brake’s efficiency while increasing noise and dust. To solve this problem, most brake manufacturers simply increase the disc size, creating an unnecessarily large brake.

Double E / Re COMBIFLEX BRAKES
Combiflex rotors are designed with a bi-directional turbine that increases airflow through the brake, even at slow speeds. This airflow allows the brake to dissipate heat more efficiently than other disc brakes.

Attention to ventilation is carried through to the brake housing as well. Combiflex brake housings use a ventilating hole pattern that permits free circulation of air from the middle of the unit to the edges. A built-in fan increases the heat dissipation even further, and ensures a cool-running brake regardless of the running speed.
Because these brakes run cool, they eliminate brake fade, excessive noise (squealing) and brake dust, and premature pad wear.

Combiflex brake pads last far longer than other brake pads because of the brake’s efficiency and the proprietary kevlar-based pad material. These advantages have made the Combiflex brake the most popular in Europe. They are standard equipment on 85% of European OEM machinery.

The brake’s modular caliper design allows flexibility with the number of calipers used (for improved tension control and/or to allow emergency stopping ability). Unneeded braking power is eliminated, and all customers get brakes that are optimized for their application.

It’s easy to upgrade to Combiflex brakes. Most often they are smaller than existing brakes, and the basic model is appropriate and simple to install. Standard rollstand-specific models also exist for Langston, Martin, and other common stands.
