Why utilize carbon fiber pneumatic core shafts for your roll unwind and rewind application?


Why utilize carbon fiber pneumatic core shafts for your roll unwind and rewind application?

If you process rolls of paper, film, foil, textile and nonwoven in the converting industry you may ask yourself that exact question....
  •  Carbon pneumatic core shafts are lightweight. Generally speaking, carbon fiber shafting has the weight of aluminum with the stiffness of steel. This lightweight feature combined with the stiffness of steel means you can support heavy unwind and rewind rolls and provide machine operators with the lightweight handling of the air shaft during roll changes. This may speed up roll changes and benefit your safety and ergonomics.
 
  • Less mass means less vibration and more stability to help to increase running speeds and throughput.
  • Customized to fit your machine means fast and easy integration. Utilize Double E Group carbon fiber pneumatic core shafts and receive personalized service from our local sales engineers. 

The Double E Group pioneered the use of carbon fiber as a shaft housing material in 1989. Thousands of Double E Group carbon fiber shafts are being used by converters all over the world.

Additionally, Double E Group lug type pneumatic core shafts feature proprietary bladder material, which stretches less than traditional rubber bladders. Dependable lug collapse design ensures consistent, easy removal and insertion with roll cores. Double E bladders are more resistant to heat, puncture and abrasion, which leads to far less bladder failure, compared to the competition. Minimized maintenance with springless lugs means no springs to break and puncture a bladder. Longer bladder life = less maintenance.
