Environmental conditions can affect Anti-Wrinkle rollers | |
Anti-wrinkle rollers, such as bowed rolls, flexible grooved rolls and CAC's WrinkleSTOP roll, incorporate rubber surfaces that rely heavily on the performance of the rubber component. If the rubber surface degrades, spreading performance and overall life span of the roller will degrade proportionally. Most of these anti-wrinkle rollers are available with a standard rubber surface (usually a "good" all around rubber compound) and special, optional rubber compounds. Special rubber surfaces may be supplied in cases where external conditions in the plant may affect the rubber surface. Some environments the spreader roll may have to contend with are:
Make your anti-wrinkle roller supplier aware of all of the conditions listed above. They should be able to specify a rubber surface to best serve your requirements. This will allow the anti-wrinkle roller to perform at maximum levels with the longest possible roller life. | |
