The BOW Model 532 was created to combine an efficient, safe cleaning operation with fast precision stacking of 1/4-inch tape on a wide variety of reels. The 532 was designed to handle reel sizes from 7 inches to 10 1/2 inches in diameter with a 5/16-inch diameter drive hole. Tissue cleaning stations and a sapphire blade, proven time and again to be the most effective cleaning system, remove debris from both sides of the tape. Downstream, a uniquely designed packwheel delivers a straight, perfectly centered stack on both plastic and metal reels. With the optional optical inspector (725 option) the user can establish a fail criteria to weed out bad tapes and save valuable tapes.

If tape stiction is an issue, we now offer two options to help. One is the Selectable Speed Modification (SSM) that allows the tape speed to be lowered and selectable between 60 ips and 120 ips. The other is the Deterioration Tape Tissue Component Modification (DTM) which doubles the speed of the cleaning tissues to 4 RPH.
