Results: All the features and benefits of our traditional WrinkleSTOP®. Works well on all types of material. Reduce downtime, increase ROI. Run thinner, faster and wider.
Of all the wrinkle removal devices presented during a CEMA annual meeting in St. Paul Minnesota (presentation by a major corporation as part of an independent study), only expanding surface type rolls removed all of the wrinkles all of the time. The presentation included curved axis rolls, metal grooved rolls, rubber grooved rolls, masking taped rolls, Teflon® taped rolls and tapered rolls. Converter Accessory Corporation's patented WrinkleSTOP® and Multi-Adjust® WrinkleSTOP® are the only smooth surface, linear, adjustable, expanding surface rolls on the market. Expanding Surface Rolls: The only wrinkle removal system in a recent major independent presentation to remove all of the wrinkles, all of the time!

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° . 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:

End caps may be independently adjusted while machine is in motion, providing total control of spreading action to match your requirements.

Featuring Zero-Web Distortion

Features & Benefits:

Bowless, smooth roll provides Zero-Web Distortion: Won't mark stretch, introduce wrinkles into the web, or send non-level web into other level sensitive devices such as moisture or weight meters. Prevents stressed or torn web center areas and altered centerline travel.

Independent Edge-to-Edge Adjustability while the web is in motion: Degree of expansion can be quickly altered at each end cap, allowing correction of distortion produced at earlier points in the line. This provides total control of spreading action to match your requirements.

No special tools needed to adjust degree of spreading action: Provides productive, cost-effective performance.

Works well in vacuum chambers and can be used to run in high-heat applications: Provides highly reliable productive performance.

Easy installation: Directly replaces existing spreader rolls or idlers.

Accepts and delivers web at any angle: Saves space in your plant line, improves web runs, and allows replacement of existing limited-angle roll arrangements with fewer rolls.

Surface designed for high traction: Stretchable rubber sleeve maintains high traction without surface glazing.

Works well with extremely short lead-in and lead-out web distances: Increases productivity while saving space.

Drive Sheave available: Perfect for light webs.

Available in various diameters and widths: 3.25", 5.5", and 8" diameters, running speeds up to 3,000 FPM.

Versatile: Can be designed to work in corrosive atmosphere applications, as well as food and pharmaceutical applications.

Static conductive roll face available.
Backed by over 30 years of experience designing and manufacturing equipment for the converting industry.

WrinkleSTOP® and Multi-Adjust® WrinkleSTOP® work equally well on all types of materials: cloth, paper, foil, film, plastics, nonwovens.

Adjusta-Pull Spreaders

The Adjusta-Pull Concept
The Adjusta-Pull® web spreading system is a remarkably efficient and cost effective approach to wrinkle removal and web spreading. The two opposing nip roll assemblies pull the material outward to remove wrinkles and smooth the web. Setting the rolls at 90° to web flow - no angular displacement - results in no spreading action. Increasing the angular displacement of the rolls in the direction of the web flow will increase the spreading action to maximum. The angular displacement of these nip rolls governs the amount of spreading action imparted to the web. The greater the angular displacement, the greater the amount of spreading.

Ball bearing mounted Adjusta-Pull nip rolls in nine and six inches come in standard one rubber/ one aluminum configurations, but may be supplied with virtually any covering, including plasma, silicone, urethane, Teflon, etc., for spreading materials with special requirements.

For additional web spreading, Adjusta-Pulls can be arranged in sequences of multiple pairs.

The CAC Scroll Roll utilizes long lead threads to produce the desired spreading action. The advantages of the scroll roll are:

Straight line axis; therefore, no distortion such as bowing.

May be submerged in liquids.

Uniform spreading across the full width.

Can be made in a variety of materials.

Simple construction eliminates costly down time and repairs.

May be used as a stationary bar, idler or driven roll.

Backed by CAC's over 30 years of experience designing and manufacturing equipment for the converting industry.

Four thread forms are offered:
1 start/ 3/8" lead min. spread
2 starts/ 3/4" lead
4 starts/ 1-1/2" lead
8 starts/ 3" lead for max. spread
