"Only a few degrees short of perfection, expanding surface spreader rolls shine with thin gauge webs." An impartial examination and evaluation of the performance of all wrinkle-removing systems came in a definite study published in a bound edition, edited by J. K. Good, of the Fourth International Conference on Web Handling, held June 1-4, 1997, at the Web Handling Research Center, Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, OK. The specific study, "Testing and Analysis of Web Spreading and Anti-Wrinkle Devices" by R. P. Swanson, 3M Company, (pp414-428), found "the expanding surface rollers did not wrinkle under any test conditions. The regime 1 (one) performance was excellent. This roller is an aggressive web-spreading device. An expanding surface roller would be insensitive to wrinkles at low, medium, and high tension. This roller is an excellent, high drag, web spreading and anti wrinkle device."(p421). Of the ten types of systems tested, only the expanding surface spreader rolls and the "curved axis" or bowed roll systems were described as "excellent" systems according to the study. |

How WrinkleSTOP® Works: The WrinkleSTOP® anti-wrinkle roll surface is a strechable rubber sleeve, supported by a series of rubber support disks. As the roll rotates, the sleeve expands for 180° and contracts 180°. The material enters the roll at the point where sleeve expansion begins and exits at a point prior to sleeve contraction. The result - the desired spreading action is achieved without distortion of the web. The amount of spreading is controlled by two factors:
2. The angular displacement of the end caps |
