WireSaver® Wire and Felt Return Roll Covers

WireSaver® covers provide superior performance in the forming and press sections of the paper machine, minimizing clothing wear to reduce your total cost of operation. With engineered JetCast™ technology, Stowe Woodward has maximized the properties that matter most in these applications.

  • Durable, wear resistance cover
  • Material characteristics that minimize wire and felt wear by the roll cover
  • Superior traction minimizes slippage that contributes to cover wear
  • Hydrophobic properties stop water absorption that can lead to cover looseness
  • Minimal internal stresses from curing
    • Damaged ends are not prone to lift off core and flare up, eliminating problems on wire and felt edges
    • Cracks caused by improper handling or operating damage do not propagate
  • Clean running and also doctorable to reduce or eliminate build-up on the roll covers
  • Roll disassembly may not be required, allowing for super-fast deliveries
