The right clamp for tissue paper rolls

Bolzoni Auramo provides the best and innovative solution to handle the rolls without damage and in an effective way.
Considering all of these important proprieties, Bolzoni Auramo, market leader in sales of paper handling tools in Europe, created a complete range of well-designed and strong tissue paper roll clamps with capacities starting from 1.500 kg up to 6.000 kg (3,000 to 13,000 lbs.) and with roll diameters up to 2.700 mm (106”) in standard series. A dedicated tissue paper roll clamp has several advantages over a standard paper roll clamp when handling tissue paper grades. Tissue clamps are always built to be able to handle large diameter rolls; they also have higher and wider contact pads to reduce surface pressure on the soft paper.

Contact pads

Bolzoni Auramo knows that contact pads are the most important part of the clamp attachment. In most normal handling situations, the pads are the only parts of the clamp that actually are in contact with the paper roll. Therefore, Bolzoni Auramo has paid special attention in designing and manufacturing contact pads, which will ensure safe and
non-damaging tissue roll handling.
