At our recent holiday picnic, we took time to celebrate the strength of our team.

CEO Russ Hall shared an encouraging update on the continued growth of our Vanguard line of tension control systems, including three recent sales supporting composites and other advanced materials applications with more on the way. It was a proud moment for our team and a reminder of the value of innovation, partnership, and steady progress.

But as we mark this holiday, we also pause in solemn gratitude.

Memorial Day is a time to honor the brave men and women of the armed forces who served our country with courage and made the ultimate sacrifice. Their service will never be forgotten, and we are deeply thankful for the freedoms their sacrifice helped protect.

As we reflect, celebrate, and spend time with those around us, we also want to extend our warm wishes to our customers, partners, and community. Thank you for being part of our journey and for the trust you place in The Montalvo Corporation.

We wish you a safe, meaningful, and peaceful Memorial Day.

How long should a piece of industrial equipment last?

An overseas customer recently contacted us to replace their load cells. After checking the original manufacturing date, we found they were from our K-BEB line, manufactured in the late 80s or early 90s.

While the exact operational hours are unknown, this represents an incredible service life for this equipment. It is a true testament to the durability, quality, and engineering we build into our products every day.

They are now upgrading to our new ES Series Load Cells. We know these replacements will deliver the same reliable service and maximize uptime for many years to come. https://hubs.la/Q04fDCJc0

This is an example of equipment truly built to stand the test of time. What is the oldest piece of Montalvo equipment still running in your operations today? Share your stories below.

Can't Stop the Squealing Noises from Your Tension Brake? Better Web Control Pro Tip- All You Need is One Teflon Pad.

There are many reasons that can cause a brake to squeal. However, one easy fix is simply replacing one of the Friction Pads with a Teflon Brake Pad. But why? Teflon pads are made of friction material impregnated with a loading of Teflon. As the pad wears, a small deposition of Teflon is deposited on the Brake rotor; this small amount of Teflon provides enough lubrication to eliminate the stick-release condition that is causing the vibration of the rotor and the resultant squealing.

Enjoy the beautiful sound of silence! Call Montalvo’s Application Specialists today.

Brake squealing can come from a variety of sources. In this brief article you will find tips that can help identify the cause and eliminate Brake Noise.
