Preventing cut accidents is a major safety issue in all paper mills. Open blades are usually the biggest source of these first aid incidents. With this in mind, William Kenyon has introduced a special safety knife for use with Carrier Ropes.

• Our unique Safety Knife has a 9mm mouth capable of cutting up to a 13mm rope. The stainless steel blades can be both reversed quickly and easily replaced. It provides a quicker, cleaner cut than most standard knives.
  
• While it is possible for a finger to be placed near to the blade, the risk of a stab or slashing injury is eliminated because of the protective plastic casing.
• The William Kenyon safety knife is the safest tool to use during splicing and cutting the majority of Carrier Ropes. It provides a really clean cut, minimising frayed rope ends and making the rope easier to work with.

We have developed a new Rodless Cylinder Tensioning Unit which is an ideal solution for when space is at a premium. It can be supplied in single, double and triple rope configuration and installed horizontally, vertically and inverted as required.

With a custom built framework it can suit the majority of positions. Special geometries are available for space limited areas. Dual tension controls can be specified for optimum rope tensions during both feeding and running conditions.
