The ability to stand up to the chemical and high-heat environment of textile manufacturing is the first requirement for successful roll covers. Equally important is the need to provide the long service life that delivers the economy necessary to compete in today's global marketplace.
Improved quality, increased efficiency and innovative value are the primary benefits that Stowe Woodward technologies bring to the textile industry.
Eliminating premature roll hardening, compromised performance from chemical attack, premature yarn wear, and cover debonding are examples of roll solutions that increase line efficiency. Engineered roll covers with longer service life enable textile manufacturers to compete amoung increasing global pressures.
For spreading in cross-over direction to get an even web without creases, or to separate parallel running webs, Stowe Woodward offers spreader rolls for various applications.
Resin or Starch
A finishing range roll applies pressure in a nip to extract starch from the web.
The successful cover has excellent resistance to chemicals that cause hardening of the cover which results in reduced nip width and decreased dwell time and can cause surface cracking.
Intermediate Washer Nip
The intermediate washer nip roll applies pressure in the nip to extract chemicals from the web.
Outstanding cover performance requires excellent resistance to chemicals which cause roll cover hardening which, in turn, leads to reduced nip width, decreased dwell time and surface cracking.
Rope Roll / Slack Loop Washer
The rope roll squeezes processing chemicals from the woven rope.
The ideal roll cover in this position reduces saddling wear on the roll face and prevents cover delamination when a knot is pulled through the nip.
Towel Mangle
The towel mangle squeezes processing chemicals from the towel web.
Excellent abrasion resistance is required to minimize wear which can lead to uneven nip pressure.
