Lufkin Comolor Twin Output Gearbox

Refurbishment

To refurbish Lufkin Comolor Twin output gearbox. This is a French

manufactured unit which is used in the initial mixing of the cotton fibre

with a water solution in the first stages of the paper making. The gearbox

drives two z blades which periodically get jammed up and cause the

timing of the two output shafts to slip out of synchronisation. This can be

rectified as all the timing of the gears are set with the gear sets that are

located on taper shafts/bores (brat mounted gears.)

The world’s largest commercial currency printer and papermaker, it

provides marketleading banknote paper, printed banknotes and an

unparalleled portfolio of banknote security features, including cylinder

mould watermarks, security threads, a wide range of printed features

and sophisticated optically variable devices.
