(PRWEB) July 26, 2007 -- With industry competition high, even small design improvements can make a dramatic difference in performance. Convertech's new GripLock™ lug design has increased core gripping power to improve roll quality and reduce core damage, while still keeping the shaft design efficient and effective.

Small improvements can make a big impact. Because roll quality is a major concern to converters, keeping cores locked firmly in place is a high priority. Air pressure in the air shaft is responsible for locking the lug in place on the core, but excessive air pressure can cause core damage, and too little air pressure will cause core slippage. Finding the optimal point between air pressure and lug grip is essential to creating the best finished rolls.

By changing their basic lug design to accommodate a variety of working environments, Convertech has taken the guesswork out of the process. Convertech GripLock™ lugs are designed to grip cores firmly, without causing core damage. All Convertech lug shafts and adapters feature GripLock™ lugs to ensure the best roll quality in a wide range of working environments.

For over a quarter century Convertech has been the leader in exceptionally fast lead time with superior engineering and quality built into every expanding shaft and chuck. With its competitors extended delivery time of as much as sixteen weeks Convertech, Inc.'s faster delivery time will always keep you up and running.
