Print this Article | Send to Colleague
As the sole point of contact with material during processing, the importance of rollers as fundamental components in web lines is often overlooked. In his presentation at the 2023 TAPPI Fiberglass Mat Technology Forum, October 17-19 in Chattanooga, TN, Precision Roll Solutions’ Pete Eggen will shed light on the significance of meticulous roller selection for optimal performance in diverse applications. His presentation will delve into crucial design and operational principles, covering topics such as:
- Mechanical design factors (stress, deflection, ratios, bearings)
- Line speed considerations (balance, critical speed, air entrapment)
- Temperature impacts (construction materials, thermal expansion, heat transfer rolls)
- Critical roller specifications (surface finish, coatings, geometry, tolerances, alignment)
