The Combirex CX 250 pneumatic brake has long been a benchmark in the converting industry. Known for its reliability and performance, it remains a trusted choice for unwinders and a variety of industrial applications worldwide.

What many may not know is that the CX 250, now one of the most copied pneumatic brakes in the world, was originally designed in the 1980s by Giampiero Re—the same visionary who later founded Renova in 2005.

Building on that legacy, Mr. Re introduced a groundbreaking axial fan ventilation system for the CX mono disc brakes. This advancement significantly boosted cooling efficiency, reduced pad wear, and improved web tension control—marking a clear evolution from earlier brake systems that lacked any cooling mechanism.

Today, Renova’s CX pneumatic brake stands as the result of decades of research, development, and refinement. Each component is crafted with precision, using only the highest quality materials to ensure exceptional performance and long-lasting durability.
