CaneShield™ RA5000 Automated Welding System
Advanced Equipment for Sugarcane Mill Roll Rebuilds
The RA5000 represents the next generation in automated sugar mill maintenance, purpose-built for efficient and precise roll rebuilding. Designed in partnership by Mavrix Welding Automation and Postle Industries, the RA5000 is ideal for welding base layers, applying hooks (picote), and performing arcing/splatter (chapisco) operations—both in and out of mill operation.
With PLC-based controls, an intuitive operator pendant, and selectable welding modes tailored for sugar mill applications, the RA5000 provides unmatched versatility and reliability. Optional dual torch configurations further enhance productivity, making it the ideal solution for modern sugar mill maintenance programs.
PLC-Based Control System
Ensures precise process control and repeatability with user-friendly programming.
Operator Pendant
Handheld interface allows real-time adjustments and simplified operation.
Three Dedicated Welding Modes
Specifically engineered for:
Base Layer Welding – for foundational buildup and repair
Hook/Tear Drop (“Picote”) Application – for improved cane grip
Arcing/Splatter (“Chapisco”) – for increased surface roughness and traction
Dual Torch Option
Available for enhanced productivity and reduced cycle time.
In-Mill Operation Capability
Performs arcing/splatter (“Chapisco”) even while rolls are in the mill, minimizing downtime.
